Will there be another billion dollar lottery Jackpot?

Yes, there is a strong likelihood of seeing another billion-dollar jackpot in the Mega Millions lottery. Here are several points that support this:

Upcoming Changes

Starting in April 2025, Mega Millions is implementing changes that include a ticket price increase to $5 per play. These changes are designed to result in "larger starting jackpots" and "more frequent billion-dollar jackpots"14.

Historical Context

The Mega Millions jackpot has already crossed the $1 billion threshold several times, with the largest being $1.602 billion in 2023. The current jackpot of $1.15 billion is among the largest in the game's history, indicating that such large jackpots are not uncommon14.

Ongoing Jackpot Growth

The current jackpot has grown significantly due to the lack of winners, and this trend can continue, leading to more billion-dollar jackpots in the future14.

Given these factors, it is reasonable to expect that Mega Millions will continue to produce billion-dollar jackpots, especially with the upcoming changes aimed at increasing jackpot sizes and frequency.
