A bit over a month ago, the Massachusetts State Lottery decided to upgrade the Mass Cash game and hold daily drawings from Monday through Sunday. The Mass Cash game is one of the most popular in the United States as it offers the best odds of winning the $100,000 jackpot. Lottery numbers
Prior to the modification, the game held only 3 drawings per week, one Tuesday, one Friday and one Sunday. The move will give lottery players even more opportunities to win the jackpot, and it will also help the lottery raise more funding for its noble causes.
“With a 1-in-324,632 chance of winning the game’s top prize, our players recognize that Mass Cash is their best bet to win $100,000,” Paul R. Sternburg, Lottery Executive Director, stated. “In the last year alone, more than 170 players were awarded Mass Cash jackpot prizes. With the game available every day, we anticipate the amount of winners in the game will increase twofold.”
During the fiscal year of 2010, the Mass Cash sales reached $47.4 million. That represents exactly 1.1 percent of the lottery’s total sales. Lottery officials claim that the move will generate an additional $15 million in sales for each year. That means that the cities and towns helped by the Massachusetts lottery will receive an additional $5.4 million. Lottery checker
Even though the game has entered the daily category, nothing else is about to change. The lottery tickets will still cost $1 and nothing in the game mechanics or odds will change. If you want to play the Mass Cash game, you must choose 5 numbers out of 35. If you manage to get 3 numbers correct, you will get a $10 prize. If you get 4 numbers right, you will receive a $250 price. And if you manage to get all the 5 numbers correct, you will hit the jackpot and receive a $100,000 prize. Also, keep in mind that winners can only choose a lump sum option, so there is no annuity. Lottery winning numbers
Regular players must also know that season tickets are no longer available for the game. However, lottery players will still be able to purchase a 30 draws package.
That’s about it on the matter for now. We hope that the lottery will be able to reach its projections and everything will go well for the game. You should join us again soon if you want to learn more news from the world of lotteries.
