ATLANTA, GA — After the drawing on April 4, Mega Millions lottery tickets will cost you more.

They are going from $2 to $5, with the Megaplier option now included in that cost and built into each play.

The first increase the game has seen since 2017.

The ticket may cost more, but the base jackpot is also bigger. It’s going from $20M to $50M. There will also be one less MegaBall which will increase your odds of winning. Now the odds of winning any prize are from 1-in-24 to 1-in-23.

The odds of winning the jackpot have now increased from from 1 in 302,575,350 to 1 in 290,472,336.
