• Larger start jackpots -The jackpot is now reset to 50 million US dollars after a win, which was usually 20 million US dollars.

• Faster growing jackpots -The new structure is expected to produce larger jackpots more often, with the average estimated jackpot increasing from around $ 450 million to over 800 million US dollars compared to the current average.

• Built -in multipliers -Not-jackpot prices are automatically multiplied by 2x, 3x, 4x, 5x or 10x.

• Higher minimum payments – The smallest price for a winning ticket is 10 US dollars, doubles the new ticket price of $ 5. Under the current structure, a winning ticket could only return as little as the 2 dollar game costs.

This is the second time that lottery officers have adjusted the price for the drawing game since it was introduced over 20 years ago and the first change since the game update 2017.
