JACKPOTS

Arizona Lottery overhauling Mega Millions game

The Mega Millions game is undergoing some changes that lottery officials say will provide bigger jackpots and better odds but also increase the cost of a ticket.

The changes will be launched in April and include:

  • Improved odds to win the jackpot.
  • Bigger jackpots more frequently.
  • Larger starting jackpots.
  • Faster growing jackpots.
  • A built-in multiplier on every play, automatically improving every non-jackpot win by up to $10 million for matching five white balls.
  • No breakeven prizes - when a player wins, the win will be more than the cost of the ticket.

Tickets will cost $5 per play, the first price change in more than 20 years.
