The price of a Mega Millions ticket will increase to $5 in April 2025. There will be a built-in megaplier, and game officials say there will be larger starting jackpots. This is only the second price adjustment since Mega Millions launched in 2002.

The identity of the jackpot winner was not immediately known, but lottery officials in California are expected to reveal it.

One Mega Millions ticket sold in California has just won Friday’s estimated $1.15 billion jackpot – believed to be the fifth-largest prize in the history of the game, the lottery says.
