While I don't like spending more money than before, I might have to suck it up and buy myself a ticket anyways because a Michigan lottery player is $3 million richer after playing.

Mega Millions Changes

Besides the cost of Mega Millions tickets going from $2 to $5, you’ll see seven key differences in the new game:

• 2X to 10X bigger prizes at every non-jackpot prize tier
• Larger starting jackpots
• Faster growing jackpots
• Bigger average jackpots
• Better overall odds to win any prize
• Improved odds to win the jackpot
• No break-even prizes, meaning when you win, you’ll always win more than the cost to play

If you're the lucky winner you have one year from the date of the drawing to claim the $3 million prize.
