Some of the key highlights include:

• $50 million starting jackpots
• Faster growing jackpots
• A built-in multiplier on every play automatically boosting non-jackpot prizes by two, three, four, five or even 10 times – up to $10 million for matching the five white balls
• No more breakeven prizes – every win will be worth at least twice the price of a play

“This is an exciting change for Mega Millions, and we know Mississippi players will love the new features and even bigger prizes,” said Jeff Hewitt, President of the Mississippi Lottery Corporation. “We’re always looking for ways to create more winning moments for our players and generating additional lottery proceeds for the state. This game update helps us do both.”

When the enhanced game conducts its first drawing on Tuesday, April 8, each play will cost $5.00, marking only the second price adjustment in the game’s history since launching in 2002 and the first change since 2017.

Drawings take place every Tuesday and Friday at 10:00 p.m. CT on WJTV 12 News and WHLT.
