As long rumored and first reported by Lottery Geeks in April that a price increase was coming, Mega Millions is changing the game in 2025. The question is whether and to what extent players come along for the ride.
Currently, and exactly like Powerball, tickets for Mega Millions are $2 a pop. But come April of next year, Mega Millions tickets will go up to $5, coinciding with a number of gameplay and prizing modifications. This will have numerous downstream effects, most notably — for players — larger jackpots.
But the (quite literal) billion-dollar questions are these: Will fewer people play? Will more people play? What, in short, will happen?
