Here’s What You Need To Know
$5 entry & bigger Prizes
Starting April 8th 2025, Mega Millions is updating their game to make your playing experience more thrilling and rewarding. Their goal is to bring you larger and faster-growing jackpots, better odds of hitting the big one, and built-in multipliers to boost non-jackpot prizes.
The new $5 game boosts the average jackpot win by 75% and supercharges your non-jackpot winning prizes from $2 million up to $10 million.
Even matching just the Mega Ball can win you between $10 and $50—depending on the multiplier. Get ready for bigger thrills and bolder wins at every level.

If you have an active AutoPlay for Mega Millions, a new AutoPlay will need to be set up for the new game changes—we’ll send out a reminder as the change-over approaches.
Advanced Play
At the end of February 2025, you will begin seeing fewer future draw options in your cart as the countdown to the new game begins.
Once the new Mega Millions game begins accepting orders on April 5th, 2025, Advanced Play options will return to normal.
