Massachusetts State Lottery announces $770,000 win at Cumberland Farms
DORCHESTER, MA – A Megabucks ticket sold in Swansea for the Wednesday, February 19 drawing is the winner of a $770,000 jackpot from the Massachusetts State Lottery.
The winning ticket was sold at Cumberland Farms, 520 Wilbur Ave. in Swansea. The winning numbers were 2-6-13-20-25-28.
This is the sixth Megabucks jackpot won since the game was redesigned on November 12, 2023 to bring more value to players, with better odds of winning, a higher average jackpot, and double the winnings for all non-jackpot prize tiers. Monday drawings were added to the traditional lineup of Wednesday and Saturday drawings.
By reducing the numbers to choose from in the game from 49 to 44, the odds of winning the jackpot and all other prize tiers improved significantly. The odds of winning the jackpot went from 1 in 13,983,826 to 1 in 7,059,052.
Megabucks prize winners have one year from the date of the drawing to claim prizes.
