The Megabucks Doubler’s jackpot has risen once again and is close to hitting a record-high jackpot.

Wednesday’s Megabucks Doubler’s jackpot drawing will be at an estimated $13.6 million, the game’s second-largest jackpot since it launched in April of 2009. The largest Megabucks Doubler jackpot ever hit was $13.82 million, won on March 10, 2012, from a drawing ticket sold in Wakefield.

The last time a Megabucks Doubler’s jackpot was won was on March 20, 2021. The ticket, sold in Fairhaven, won the buyer $10.04 million.

Megabucks tickets cost $1 each and can only be purchased in Massachusetts until 9 p.m. Wednesday.

Tuesday’s Mega Millions jackpot has also risen to an estimated $440 million with a cash option of $247.8 Million.

The last time someone won the Mega Millions drawing was on April 15. A ticket sold in Tennessee won the $20 million jackpot. The $400 million jackpot is also the game’s largest since January 28, when a $421 million jackpot was won on a ticket sold in California.

Mega Millions tickets are $2 each and can be purchased until 10:45 p.m. Friday. The drawing will then be at 11 p.m.

There is no broadcast partner in Massachusetts, however. Instead, those interested can see the drawn numbers appear on the Mega Millions website or watch online through the game’s YouTube channel.
