Massachusetts Lottery Games
Founded in 1971, the first Massachusetts Lottery draw took place in March the following year. The Massachusetts Lottery has a broad selection of multi-jurisdictional and state-based games, including opportunities to win significant sums of money each day.
Massachusetts Lottery proceeds are paid to the state and then used as local aid for towns and cities across Massachusetts.
Powerball
Powerball is a world-famous lottery renowned for its long odds and often lucrative jackpots.
Powerball tickets cost $2.00, with players choosing five numbers between 1 and 69 plus a Powerball number between 1 and 26. Players can choose their numbers manually or go for a Quick Pick. A Power Play option is also available, costing $1.00 for the chance to multiply non-jackpot prizes by up to 10 times.
Mega Millions
Mega Millions is another world-renowned lottery that’s even harder to win than Powerball, but with a very similar format.
As with Powerball, tickets cost $2.00.
Players must choose five numbers between 1 and 70 and a Mega Ball number between 1 and 25, with Quick Pick also being available for random selections. Mega Millions has an additional Megaplier option for $1.00 for the chance to multiply non-jackpot prizes by up to 10 times.
Lucky for Life
Lucky for Life is a popular lottery game played across 23 states and the District of Columbia, giving players the chance to win $1,000 a day (paid out as $365,000 annually) for the rest of their lives, or the option to take home a lump sum of $5.75 million.
Tickets cost $2.00, with players choosing five main numbers from 1 to 48 and a Lucky Ball number between 1 and 18. Quick Pick is also available for those who prefer random selections.
Keno
Keno has multiple entry and stake-based options, including the opportunity to enhance the base prize by adding a prize multiplier.
Players must decide on how many numbers to match from 1 to 12 from a range of selections between 1 and 80. Quick Picks are available for randomly selected numbers. Participants must then choose a stake of $1.00, $2.00, $5.00, $10 or $20.
Participants who enter with 10 selections or fewer can add the KENO BONUS prize multiplier to boost their stake. The KENO BONUS multiplier of 3, 4, 5 or 10 times must be chosen before each draw.
Megabucks Doubler
Megabucks Doubler is a popular state lottery that costs just $1.00 to enter.
Participants choose six numbers from 1 to 49 or can go for a Quick Pick to enter with random selections. One in 10 tickets are randomly upgraded to Megabucks Doubler tickets at no additional cost, to double all non-jackpot prizes.
All or Nothing
As the name suggests, All or Nothing is a popular lottery game with a chance to win the jackpot by matching all or zero selections. Players can stake $1.00, $2.00, $5.00 or $10, with this acting as a prize multiplier.
Participants choose 12 numbers from 1 to 24 or can go for a Quick Pick for random selections. Various secondary prizes are also available, with players only failing to win a prize by matching five, six or seven numbers.
Mass Cash
Mass Cash is a straightforward lottery game that costs just $1.00 to enter.
Players must choose five numbers from 1 to 35 or can go for a Quick Pick for random selections.
The Numbers Game
The Numbers Game is a Pick type game with multiple entry options, with stakes of $0.25, $0.50 or $1.00 being available.
Players must choose up to four numbers from 0 to 9, and because each number is chosen independently, the same number can be chosen repeatedly if desired. Participants then choose whether to bet on matching their numbers in the order drawn, in any order, or to split their stake equally between both options.
Various prizes are also available for players who choose the same number repeatedly.
