+98 @tots4scott Nah. The slow crawl of increasing prices for super high jackpots but harder to win lower prizes is turning me off. 

+90 @jmas360 I’ll play Mega Millions until 4/5/2025.

+79 @Cosmic_Gumbo Nope. That’s not cost effective. I’d rather play CA Super Lotto for $1 a line with a higher chance of hitting.

+55 @James_E_Rustle This is gonna kill the Mega Millions, whatever idiot/group of idiots thought this up all need to be fired. People will just play Powerball now. Also what if the Powerball jackpot is higher than MM jackpot? Almost nobody is gonna pay an extra $3 per ticket for a chance at a smaller jackpot even if the odds are tiny bit better.

+48 @LTTP2018 welp won't be buying those anymore

+46 @DegenDreamer 2.5x the cost but still close to 1 in 300 million chance of winning. This is not a good deal for the players.

+25 @Dangerous_Unbothered Nope

+19 @818VitaminZ  Until the jackpot reaches the billion mark

+18 @Pernicious-Peach If a base game is more expensive than my cup of coffee, there's no chance I'm playing that.

+17 @CryptoHalcon I think they might be betting on the fact that there are people that are addicted to the lottery that will still buy tickets regardless of the price. If this proves to be successful and they maintain about the same amount of sales then the Powerball will raise their prices too. I really hope their ticket sales go down so that the prices revert back to $2. I use to buy a mega millions ticket maybe every once a blue moon but I'm absolutely not buying anymore. You can't tell me that this isnt an example of price gouging and greed. Trying to milk us out for every last penny especially against the most vulnerable (gambling addicts in this case).

+16 @dogbert617 This is a lame and terrible idea. I will pass on this....

+16 @That_Pineapple_9181 PLEASE PEOPLE, DON'T PLAY THIS GAME WHEN IT GOES UP!! WE MUST COLLECTIVELY SEND THESE GREEDY SLIMEBALLS A MESSAGE, AND NOT BUYING $5 TICKETS IS THE ONLY WAY TO DO IT!! 

+15 @TXfire22 Hell nah. Hopefully sales will drop and they will reconsider when it happens.

+15 @hottie-von-coolie Can’t trust any of the big lotteries to keep their word. Powerball changed a few years back and said that 40 millions would be the minimum jackpot. Sales were slow during the pandemic, so they knocked it down to 20 millions. We have seen the lines for these mega jackpots, yet the minimum never went back to 40 million.

+14 @xinv1nc1blex Nope I will stick to Texas lotto

+14 @TeachMeHowToTech Looks like I have until April to win the Mega Millions 

+14 @air23mj45 Easy pass on that!

+13 @richardginn666 5 bucks will fully kill that one off. 2 bucks is not bad.

+10 @Inkantrix A $2 ticket is incidental. A $5 ticket is significant. I will play until they raise the price and then I am out.

+10 @Cocoasprinkles Supply and demand will resolve this

+10 @MidniteOG lol no. I slowed my play when it went from 1 to 2 lol
