Lottery players will see a price hike for Mega Millions tickets in 2025.
Proposed changes to the game include raising the ticket price from $2 to $5, modifying the Mega Ball number selection and eliminating the Megaplier and Just the Jackpot options, among other updates. The changes are designed to keep the game competitive with Powerball while preserving its distinct character.
The Texas Lottery appeared to confirm that the current Mega Millions format will remain in place until April 5, 2025, according to a PlayiLottery story. The updated version will launch on April 8, 2025.
This means players will have a few more months to enjoy the familiar Mega Millions format before the game takes on a new look and feel.
