Going forward, tickets will cost $5 instead of $2, but the lottery says players will have improved odds to win, along with larger starting and faster-growing jackpots. The average jackpot is expected to top $800 million, up from around $450 million. Every ticket has a random multiplier, and there's one less gold Mega ball.

A $10 prize in Friday night's jackpot, for example, could be worth $20, $30, $40, $50 or $100 in the upcoming Tuesday drawing, depending on the multiplier.

The price hike isn't the only change. These are the notable other new rules, :

  • Minimum prizes jump from $2 to between $10 and $50, for matching the gold Mega Ball
  • Matching five white balls but not the Mega Ball pays between $2 million and $10 million, up from $1 million
  • The "Just the Jackpot" feature, which was only available in some states, is gone

Mega Millions drawings are held on Tuesdays and Fridays at 11 p.m. ET. The game is played in 45 states, Washington, D.C., and the U.S. Virgin Islands. Lottery officials say that any ticket purchased before the change will be paid out based on the old prize structure regardless of when it is claimed.

Attorney Andrew Stoltmann has represented 12 lottery winners, many of whom lost all their winnings through bad investments, reckless spending and greedy relatives. “Unfortunately, the people who win the lottery think at that point, the journey is over. And what they don’t realize is that the journey has really just begun,” says the Chicago-based Stoltmann.
