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.
