November 29, 2023

Let It Be Trust of Foxborough has claimed the $11.7 million jackpot prize that was at stake in the Massachusetts State Lottery’s Megabucks Doubler drawing that took place Saturday, October 7, 2023.

The trust, represented by trustee Felix Betro, chose the cash option on the prize and received a one-time payment of $7,486,238 (before taxes). Betro said that the winner plans to cut back on work and to focus on their children and grandchildren. He also said they’ve expressed an interest in putting their winnings toward travel.

The winning ticket was purchased at Joe’s Kwik Mart, 251 E. Central St. in Franklin. The store receives a $50,000 bonus for its sale of the jackpot winning ticket.

As of November 12, Megabucks Doubler is now called Megabucks and the redesigned game offers better odds of winning, a higher average jackpot, and bigger payouts for all levels of non-jackpot prizes. There is also an additional opportunity every week to play and win, with a Monday drawing joining Wednesday and Saturday drawings.
