Some big changes are coming to the Mega Millions lottery – changes that could improve your chances of winning. “We are creating a game that both our existing players and people new to Mega Millions will love and get excited about playing,” says Joshua Johnston, the lead director of the Mega Millions Consortium. “We expect more billion-dollar jackpots than ever before, meaning creating more billionaires and many more millionaires as the jackpots climb.” Another change will be in the odds of winning, Johnston says. The current odds of scoring the Mega Millions jackpot are about 1 in 302.6 million, which are worse than the Powerball’s odds of 1 in 292.2 million. Exactly how much the odds will increase, or even how they’ll increase, have not been disclosed. The changes will go into effect next year, Johnston says.
