The trade-off is jackpot size and price: Powerball starts at $20M ($2 per play) while Mega Millions starts at $50M ($5 per play, updated 2025).

Many Wyoming state games offer multiplier options for $1-$3 additional per ticket, which can multiply non-jackpot prizes by 2x-10x.

Compare ticket prices and potential payouts in the games table above to find the best value for your budget.
