A Megabucks ticket sold at a Bay State liquor store for the game’s Monday drawing is the winner of the $6.13 million jackpot prize, Massachusetts Lottery officials announced Tuesday.
The ticket, with winning numbers of 17-22-23-36-37-44, was sold at Rockland Liquors at 347 Market Street in Rockland.
The Lottery noted that this is the fifth 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.

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, according to Lottery. 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.
