Megabucks jackpot continues to climb

$12.6 million jackpot is largest since 2002

 

 

(Madison)—Christmas Eve 2005 is the last time Wisconsin’s Very Own Megabucks jackpot was hit, when the Schultz family of Oak Creek took home an $11.1 million jackpot.  The jackpot has been growing ever since and is now at its largest since April 2002.  In fact, the Megabucks jackpot is the eighth largest lottery jackpot in the world right now.

 

The next Megabucks drawing takes place Saturday, September 9 with $12.6 million up for grabs.  Last night’s winning Megabucks numbers were 01, 02, 09, 12, 27, and 34.
