This April, Mega Millions, one of America’s favorite lottery games, is getting a major upgrade! The new Mega Millions will feature higher prizes, faster-growing jackpots, and improved odds for both the jackpot and minimum prizes.
New Mega Millions: Bigger Jackpots, Faster Growth
The starting jackpot is increasing from $20 million to an incredible $50 million, giving players an even greater shot at life-changing winnings. With this boosted starting point, jackpots will grow faster, leading to record-breaking prizes like never before!
Guaranteed Payouts Above Ticket Price
Every prize tier will now offer more than the cost of a ticket. In the new Mega Millions, the minimum prize for matching just the Mega Ball is now $10—no more breaking even, only winning!
Exciting Built-in Multipliers
Every play now includes an automatic multiplier between 2x and 5x for non-jackpot prizes, similar to the Megaplier players currently enjoy. That means matching just the Mega Ball could win you up to $50 instantly!
