I would bet that's the cash value being a $50 ticket. In California, we have an advertised $5 million top prize for our $20 ticket. The $5 million is the cash value, no annuity value. For us, the only annuity value on Scratcher tickets are our Lucky for Life series where the prize is a weekly payment though winners may elect to receive a cash option.

That's why all advertised Scratcher jackpot values are not the same and confuses people when comparing tickets from other states. The $15 millio... [ More ]

Interesting, fwlawrence, but that is merely the annuity amount, right? Curiously, do you know over how many annual payments this is stretched out

Hello, Marilyn222, I think that is what most of we members do, too, each drawing; adding the multiplier option, too, for the extra $1, of course. Cheers

I've never played the $20 scratch ticket so I wouldn't ever consider playing a $30 kind.That's a lot of money.

$30 for a scratch off is just insane to me, but some people have the money to buy a $30 dollar scratch off and not even blink.

Well, being from massachusetts I usually play the 20 dollar scratch tickets, I won't be touching this. Budget constraints.

Texas has two different $50 tickets, but the payout is only $7,500,000.

Wow a 30 dollar ticket in Mass. I'm kind of torn with my feelings about that. I rarely play the 20 dollar tickets because it would be too easy for me to lose money quickly when I lose. If I did buy a 30 dollar ticket would buy just one and leave the store. Having a grand prize of 15 million is great (though at 30 dollars a ticket they should be offering a great prize). I probably will play a few but will stick to the lower price scratch tickets. I'm sure they will sell like hotcakes because so m... [ More ]

$15m top prize is cool, so far as they don't pay it in annuities.
