How We Calculate Value, ROI & Grades
Every game on this page shows the same four figures and a letter grade. Here’s what each one means.
- Top prize — the game’s largest advertised prize, as published by the Massachusetts Lottery.
- Top prizes unclaimed — how many of those the Massachusetts Lottery has not yet recorded as claimed. An unclaimed prize may already be sitting on a ticket someone has bought, so this doesn’t guarantee one is still on a shelf.
- Published odds — the Massachusetts Lottery’s original “1 in X” chance of winning any prize, which includes winning back just the ticket price. These are the odds set when the game was printed, not a recalculation of the odds among unsold tickets.
- Est. ROI — the estimated average gain or loss against what you spend. −20% means roughly 80¢ back per $1. We work it out from the prize counts the lottery reports and an estimate of how many tickets remain, so it’s a model rather than a measurement, and any single ticket can land far from the average.
- Grade — our 0–100 score shown as a letter, A being 85 or above. The largest single factor is whether a game still has unclaimed top prizes. Among the games that do, the grade is driven mostly by estimated return and by how the top-prize odds have moved since launch.
We read official Massachusetts Lottery prize reports daily. ROI and grades are our own calculations, not official lottery ratings. Read our full methodology for how we source data, estimate remaining tickets, and calculate expected value, ROI and the Massachusetts game grades.

Cheaper combinations that beat a single ticket

Frequently Asked Questions
What are the best Massachusetts scratch-offs to buy right now?
Our three top-graded Massachusetts scratch-offs today are POWER PLAY® CASHWORD ($2), Bingo ($2) and BATTLESHIP™ ($2). Each still has at least one top prize left. Rankings change daily as prizes are claimed.
Which Massachusetts scratch-off is most likely to win?
The Massachusetts game with the best odds of winning any prize is MILLIONS ($30) at 1 in 2.76. It still has 58 top prizes of $100,000 left. Most of those wins are small, often just your ticket price back, so good odds are not the same as a good buy.
What's the best Massachusetts scratch-off at each price?
Our top-graded pick at each price today: $1: 10X (#549); $2: POWER PLAY® CASHWORD; $5: $500,000 CASHWORD CORNERS 2023; $10: $2,000,000 50X CASHWORD 2024; $20: $250,000 WINTER WINNINGS; $30: MILLIONS; $50: BILLION DOLLAR EXTRAVAGANZA. The price filter on this page ranks every game at each price.
Which Massachusetts scratch-offs should I avoid?
10 Massachusetts games are still on sale even though every top prize has been claimed: 300X, $200,000 HALLOWEEN, BIG BLUE BONUS CASHWORD 2025, $200,000 ELF CASHWORD, WINNER WINNER CHICKEN DINNER (#505), $10,000 MERRY & BRIGHT, $50 in a Flash (#453), $10,000 WIN ALL, 10X (#485) and $100,000 DOUBLE MATCH. You pay full price with no chance at the top prize. The Top Prizes Claimed (Avoid) filter on this page lists them.
How do I claim a winning Massachusetts scratch-off?
Prizes up to $600 can be cashed at any lottery retailer in Massachusetts, and prizes up to $103,000 at a Lottery regional office (e.g., Braintree). You can also claim by mail for prizes up to $50,000; our guide to where to cash scratch-off tickets covers the forms and ID you need. Federal tax of 24% is withheld on prizes over $5,000, and Massachusetts taxes lottery winnings as income at up to 5% (more on taxes on scratch-off winnings).
How long do I have to claim a Massachusetts scratch-off?
You have 365 days from the date the lottery announces the game is ending, not from the day you bought the ticket. Check a game's end date before you buy, especially if it is ending soon. Our guide to whether scratch-off tickets expire lists every state's deadline.
Can I buy Massachusetts scratch-offs online or with a card?
Yes, online: Mass Lottery Online sells digital instant games in Massachusetts, though those are separate games from the paper tickets sold in stores. In stores, debit cards are accepted and credit cards are not allowed. You must be 18 or older to buy. More in our guides to buying scratch-offs online and with a debit card.
Do more expensive Massachusetts scratch-offs have better odds?
Mostly, up to $30. The typical (median) game at each price, with its odds of winning any prize and what it pays back per dollar: $1, 1 in 4.77 and about 64 cents; $2, 1 in 4.59 and about 72 cents; $5, 1 in 4.15 and about 72 cents; $10, 1 in 3.48 and about 72 cents; $20, 1 in 2.94 and about 71 cents; $30, 1 in 2.78 and about 73 cents; $50, 1 in 4.10 and about 79 cents. Payback tends to rise with price, but you still lose money on average at every price.
Are Massachusetts scratch-offs worth it, or do any pay back more than they cost?
Right now 1 of the 131 Massachusetts games on sale is expected to pay back more than it costs: Bingo ($2). The typical game returns about 72 cents per dollar. A scratch-off that pays back more than it costs is rare and does not last long, so play for fun with money you can afford to lose. More on whether scratch-off tickets are worth it.
Should I buy Massachusetts games that are ending soon?
Sometimes, when good prizes are still left. The Ending Soon filter on this page lists the Massachusetts games ending within the next 90 days. Bear in mind that scratch-off tickets do expire: in Massachusetts you have 365 days from the date the lottery announces the game is ending.
