The Mass World Class Millions has one of the largest top prizes of any scratcher in the country, but Illinois has a $30 card that even has that beat - $30,000 a month for 30 years. Now THAT is the prize I want to win, but of course I wouldn't turn up my nose at winning the World Class Millions either

I believe some winners have had a trust claim there winnings, so that is an option.

Truly an awesome win for this guy and it couldn't have come at a better time. I bought this ticket a couple of times last year when it first came out but, the most I won was $60.

I'll gladly buy 10 lines of PB with powerplay, or 15 lines of MM with megaplier, covering all 15 megaballs. $30 scratchers, I don't have the balls for it yet. Very nice win if you can get it. Beautiful girlfriend, treat her well. Congrats.

The Massachusetts Lottery should allow winners to remain anonymous.

Is a photograph required when making a claim?

Lottery regulations state that a claimant's name, city or town, image, amount of prize, claim date and game are public record. Therefore, photographs may be taken and used to publicize winnings.

by the time you buy 30 tickets to Mega Millions the odds are reduced to 1 in 8.6 million though, but yeah I guess the scratcher still has slightly better odds

I'm not a $30 player but if I was and was in Mass. I'd play the scratcher:

Mass. lottery $30 scratcher:

$15,000,000 ($750,000/Year/20 Years) $15,000,000 1 in 6,300,000

Mega Millions:

1 in 258,890,850

Lucky guy with a lucky chic and lucky smile he already had it made so he didn't have to win let's hope he keeps his life and chic under control now but I think a lot of women will fight for him since she doesn't have the ring yet so be careful girl . lol similar scratch off ticket in Texas cost $50 per ticket but you are more likely to win $20 back they always keep the $30 anyway lol . And I still never see people possing for big win from Texas even though they are the one having record sales an... [ More ]

Congratulation to Michael Milford, on his win! The last ticket I buy $30 tickets in In. it had 5 or 6 pages of games but I think it was only worth a million. I can't remember about 3 months ago.
