Mega Millions will raise ticket prices from $2 to $5, a move the lottery said will help raise the average jackpot win from about $450 million to more than $800 million, while also allowing the jackpot to reset to $50 million instead of $20 million after a winning ticket is sold.

The next draw is set for Saturday night, where a ticket buyer will need to overcome astronomical odds of 1-in-292.2 million to win the big prize.

The Mega Millions jackpot for Tuesday’s lottery drawing has climbed to an estimated $344 million, with a cash option of $159.1 million. The winning numbers were: 1, 5, 17, 39 and 62. The Mega Ball was 8 with a Megaplier of 2X.
