More Mega Than Ever!
Bigger jackpots, better odds, built-in multiplier just a few of the benefits of new Mega Millions® game
Mega Millions got a “mega” overhaul on April 5. Among the enhancements players will benefit from:
- Bigger jackpots more frequently
- Better odds
- A built-in multiplier on every play, automatically improving every non-jackpot prize by 2X, 3X, 4X, 5X or 10X – up to $10 million for matching the five white balls
- No breakeven prizes, meaning when a player wins, they’ll always win more than the cost of a play

Columbus Man Wins Second Truck$ & Buck$ Truck
Douglas Hann of Columbus is the second winner of a 2025 Ford F-150 XLT truck in the 30th edition of the Nebraska Lottery’s $2 Truck$ & Buck$ Scratch game.
Hann purchased his winning Truck$ & Buck$ ticket at Cubby’s, 1303 Tahazouka Road in Norfolk. He was presented with his new truck on Monday, April 28.
Hann told Nebraska Lottery officials the most he’d ever won on a lottery ticket before was $400. “I usually play and win enough to keep playing,” he said.
His current vehicle is a 1971 truck with around 57,000 miles on it. He hopes to keep driving that truck along with his new 2025 Ford F-150. And he plans to continue buying lottery tickets even after his big win.
The Nebraska Lottery recently distributed among its beneficiary funds $11,415,178, derived from a share of Scratch and Lotto ticket sales for the previous three months.
A total of $1,026,811,730 has been distributed in quarterly transfers since the Nebraska Lottery began operation on September 11, 1993. The latest transfer, made the week of March 28, was distributed among beneficiaries in the following manner:
