An expendable Falcon Heavy can do that on a direct route (no course corrections needed) for $150 million or so.
A partially reusable Falcon Heavy or even smaller rockets can do it with fly-by maneuvers, but then you need course corrections on the way to aim more precisely, which means you need some sort of active spacecraft. The launch gets cheaper but the spacecraft will cost something.

I think I only really need a lift on a shuttle. No need to waste earths resources/money on a probe or anything. Just open the doors and chuck me out. Or shoot me out like a torpedo.
