Mega Millions ticket prices will rise from $2 to $5 in April 2025, but the company – doing its best Stephanie Kelton impression – promises "bigger jackpots" and more chances to win, according to Consumer Affairs.

Of course, they mean bigger nominal jackpots, as by the time the changes are implemented it'll likely cost $50 for your morning coffee, but we digress…

Joshua Johnston, Lead Director of the Mega Millions Consortium, commented: "We are creating a game that both our existing players and people new to Mega Millions will love and get excited about playing."
