Mega Millions & Powerball Jackpots Explained | Newark News

Mega Millions is heating up with a $60 million jackpot and Powerball soaring to $786 million—both offering life-changing payouts, though odds are astronomically stacked against you. New rules since April 2025 reshaped the number pools, and tickets now cost $5 with a multiplier boost (except for the jackpot). Available in 45 states plus D.C. and U.S. Virgin Islands, even non-citizens can play. Choose annuity or lump-sum cash, and some states let winners stay anonymous. The dream? Still worth the gamble.
