(CNN) - Mega Millions tickets will cost more than double beginning next month.
Lottery game officials say the new price starting in April will be $5 per play.
This is the second time Mega Millions has upped the price, with the first in 2017.
The lottery says it’s improving the game to increase the odds of winning a jackpot and to have larger jackpots more frequently.
Mega Millions says it expects more $1 billion wins in the future.
