HOLMDEL, N.J., April 7, 2025 /PRNewswire/ — The wait is over! On Tuesday, April 8, Mega Millions‘ highly anticipated revamp officially kicks off with its first draw, bringing bigger jackpots, better odds, and thrilling new features.
Under the updated format, the starting jackpot jumps from $20 million to an impressive $50 million. Plus, while players previously had to opt in for the Megaplier, a ‘multiplier’ is now built into the game—automatically boosting non-jackpot wins by 2X, 3X, 4X, 5X, or even 10X. This means that matching all five white balls could now be worth up to $10 million!
Another major change: every prize will now exceed the cost of a ticket, eliminating breakeven wins. With faster-growing jackpots and bigger payouts across the board, the game is set to become even more exciting.
Yael Hertz, CEO of TheLotter Group, shared her enthusiasm for the upgrade:
“Since October, when the new format was first announced, we’ve been eagerly awaiting these changes. Now that the time has come, we can’t wait to see players enjoy the new and improved Mega Millions!”
