Massachusetts(MA) Megabucks Doubler Prizes and Odds
About Massachusetts Megabucks Doubler
Massachusetts Megabucks is one of the oldest games introduced by the Massachusetts State Lottery that is still offered today. It was first launched over
thirty years ago on the 16th of November 1982.
Back then, Massachusetts Megabucks players chose six numbers out of thirty hoping to win the jackpot prize by matching all six numbers with the ones drawn.
One month after its appearance, Massachusetts Megabucks awarded a jackpot prize of about $1 million.
With increasing popularity, in 1983 jackpot prizes reached over $2 million in July and $3.8 million in November.
However, these prizes were little money compared to the Massachusetts Megabucks jackpot of $18.2 million awarded to six players in March 1984. On this
occasion, the run for tickets after three consecutive drawings without winners was of such magnitude that the media named it "Megamania".
Like in other lottery games, Massachusetts Megabucks bet revenues increased greatly with higher jackpot values and so the Massachusetts State Lottery
changed the matrix of the game in 1991. After increasing the betting numbers from 36 to 42, it became more difficult to match all six numbers, the odds of
winning were reduced and prizes for consecutive drawings started building up more frequently for bigger jackpots, reaching almost $22 million.
In 2009, the effort of making the game more exciting went further as 7 more numbers were added, and the game was renamed Massachusetts Megabucks Doubler,
as it is now. In addition to that, the percentage of revenue that was allocated to the prize went up from 50 to 55%.
The other 45% of the money raised by the Massachusetts Megabucks goes in different percentages to operating costs and to charitable projects and services
sustained by the Massachusetts State Lottery. Lottery games have an important part in raising money for community improvements and Massachusetts Megabucks
is no exception.
How to play Massachusetts Megabucks Doubler
After buying a bet slip from a local online Lottery Sales Agent, there are only a few steps between you and a chance of winning the jackpot. The cost of
the Massachusetts Megabucks Doubler is only $1 per bet.
- Fill a Massachusetts Megabucks Doubler bet slip by marking six numbers of your choice. There are 49 numbers to choose from.
- Hand it over to the Sales Agent for processing so that it is included in the Massachusetts Lottery System before drawing.
- Keep the separate ticket that you will be given and make sure you know where you keep it. This is your receipt and you will need it not only to check
the prizes but more importantly to claim your prize if you are a lucky winner.
If you don't want to choose the numbers yourself, you can always have the Lottery computer pick them for you. For this, ask the Clerk for a Quick Pic and
six random numbers will be chosen and issued on your receipt.
Some security precautions must be taken not to miss your opportunity of winning a prize. Everybody wants to win a lottery game but very few do, so if one
day it happens to be you, make sure you will not miss it out of recklessness.
Always check if the numbers on your Massachusetts Megabucks Doubler receipt match the ones you bet on and sign the ticket on the back so that nobody can
claim the prize for you in case of loss or theft.
Note that if you are under 18 you are not allowed betting on any Massachusetts Lottery game.
Don't forget that betting pools close some time before the drawing. In Megabucks Doubler pools close at 10:45pm about 30 minutes prior to the drawing.
- Megabucks Doubler
The biggest change made to the game was the addition of Doubler feature in 2009. Unlike other special features such as the Megaplier in Mega Millions or
the Power Play in Powerball, there is no extra cost for the Doubler. From all Massachusetts Megabucks Doubler bets, one out of ten tickets is a Megabucks
Doubler. This happens randomly and automatically and if the ticket is a lucky doubler that it will be marked "This is a Doubler Ticket".
If this is the case and the ticket is awarded a Massachusetts Megabucks non-jackpot prize, its value is doubled.
- Season tickets
Massachusetts Megabucks Doubler is one of the few Massachusetts Lottery games that give the players the option of buying a season ticket. This ticket can
be valid for 3 months, 6 months or one year depending on which is purchased by the player. A Massachusetts Megabucks Doubler season ticket of 3 months is
valid for 26 drawings, the 6 months ticket is valid for 52 drawings and the one year ticket for 104.
Season tickets can be registered online.
Season ticket players will not miss the chance of doubling prizes if they win a non-jackpot Massachusetts Megabucks Doubler prize.
Each season ticket has a control number with several digits. After each regular drawing, one number called the Season Ticket Doubler Number (ST Doubler) is
drawn and if it matches the last digit of the control number in a winning season ticket, the prize doubles
