Big news, Minnesota! Mega Millions has stepped up its game with bigger jackpots and a built-in multiplier on every play. So get ready for some mega fun.
What’s changing?
The biggest change you’ll see is that Mega Millions tickets are going from $2 to $5 per play—but trust us, it’s worth it!
Why you’ll love the new Mega Millions:
- Starting jackpot jumps to $50 million
- Bigger jackpots, more often
- Jackpots grow faster than ever
- Bigger local wins at all levels
- Every ticket automatically includes a built-in multiplier! (2X, 3X, 4X, 5X, or 10X)
- Minimum prize increased – win a minimum of $10, so every win is bigger than your ticket cost!
- Better jackpot odds – 1 in 290 million
Why the price increase?
Two words: Bigger Wins!
Higher starting jackpots that grow faster than ever. Plus, with the new built-in multiplier, every non-jackpot prize is even bigger. Players can win up to $10 million before they hit the jackpot! So, bigger local wins and more potential millionaires in Minnesota.
Has Minnesota ever had a Mega Millions jackpot winner?
Yes! In April 2022, a lucky couple won $110 million, taking home a $66.9 million cash payout. Their winning ticket was bought at a Holiday Stationstore in Ramsey. With these exciting changes, we’re hoping for even more Minnesota millionaires soon!
