(WBRE/WYOU) — The Mega Millions ticket is going to cost you a little more the next time you play the big game.

Instead of $2, tickets will now cost $5 a piece.

The last time ticket prices went up was eight years ago when they increased from $1 to $2.

Game officials say the change means bigger prizes, better odds, and faster-growing jackpots.

The minimum payout will be $10 instead of $2 as it is now.

28/22 News visited Stroud Smoke Shop in Monroe County to see what people thought about the price increase.
