Between 2009 and 2023, the game was known as Megabucks Doubler, and as such there was a doubler system where random tickets purchased from vendors (As well as season tickets that had their last number matched with a randomly drawn number between 0 and 9) would have their non-jackpot prizes doubled if they were hit.

Megabucks Doubler was drawn on Wednesdays and Saturdays, with 6 numbers chosen from 1 through 49.

After the Boston Globe published reports of individual stores selling millions of dollars in tickets, state officials suspended the game, suspecting organized crime involvement.

Investigations revealed that the profiteers were a retired couple from Michigan (who had exploited the same system when that state's lottery had the Winfall game) and a group of MIT college students who, by legally exploiting elements of the game, were practically guaranteed to win profits of approximately 20% when tickets were bought in rolldown conditions.

The basic game costs $1, if the computer-generated "hand" is a Royal Flush, the player wins $25,000.
