How Much Does a Mega Millions Ticket Cost
A standard Mega Millions play costs $2 per entry. This base price applies across all participating U.S. lotteries. Some states allow extra features, such as the Megaplier, for an additional fee that can increase non-jackpot prizes.
What Affects the Ticket Price
The ticket price is set by the Multi-State Lottery Association and individual state lotteries. Optional add-ons, like the Megaplier, can raise the total cost per play. Taxes and retailer fees do not change the listed ticket price but can affect your final payout.
