In a press release, the Mississippi Lottery announced three new scratch-off lottery games. Starting Tuesday, July 7, Mississippi players will be able to find these scratch-off lottery games at official retailers.
The lottery will be retiring four games to make room for the new entries.
The prices and top prizes for the games are listed below:

| Bonus Crossword | $3 | $35,000 | 4 |

The four scratch-off games the lottery is retiring are Happy Holidays Y'ALL, Fast 50's, Money Bags, and Love Y'ALL. The top prizes for Happy Holidays Y'ALL and Money Bags have all been claimed.
Two top prizes of $2,500 have yet to be claimed for the Love Y'ALL game, while only one top prize of $2,000 remains for the Fast 50's game.
The last possible day to purchase a ticket from any of these games will be Friday, July 31, 2020. Players will have until October 29, 2020 to claim prizes for the retiring games.

Glad they are coming right along nicely. This morning on FB was a picture of the Governor of a neighboring state and I made a comment on them not giving the citizens the right to vote on a lottery.
People in Mississippi don’t have money to play scratch off anyway because they have lost their jobs, so what difference does it make
*Powershot -cost $5- Top prize : $250,000
Apparently Mississipians have enough money to keep the games going not only in our state but also over the borders to Louisiana, Florida and Tennessee. I believe you may be a bit too far away to have an accurate picture of Mississipians’ finances.
Just your opinion, but looks like generalizing folks in Mississippi is OK with you?
Certainly folks cross the border from Alabama to play the lottery in MS since that old timer regime in that state may never put it up to the voters. Let them keep crossing over into border and Alabama lose more money.
Scratch-off's give hope a chance to win just like any other state they should welcome the tickets ! Traditionally they are thought of as the poorest state however look at the other states that just made the 2020 list NC is on there as well and we play all sorts of gambling games just fine. Good luck to the newest state .Players of the lottery come and go just like with any other hobby .......Good luck MISS players !
