Michigan residents will pay more to play the Mega Millions lottery in 2025.

The cost of a Mega Millions ticket is currently $2. Beginning in April 2025, the price will more than double to participate. Brace yourself, Mega Millions tickets will be priced at $5.

According to Gambling Industry News, a $5 Mega Millions ticket price will lead to the following,

  • Improved odds to win the Jackpot
  • Bigger jackpots
  • Bigger starting jackpots
  • Faster growing jackpots
  • A built-in multiplier on every play
  • Players will always win more than the ticket cost

I don't often play Mega Millions; like many people, I tend to play when the jackpots are really big. Typically I will spend $20 on ten tickets. After the price increase, I am looking at $50.
