I bought 5 tickets hoping to get one of those 4 5 of 6 prizes and it turns out all I won was...another lousy free ticket. Even if they gave $50 for 3/6 it would have still left the other prizes substantially higher. I used it to get a mega millions ticket. I think I deserve to win something of substance after getting the shaft yet again, so this should be my night.

at least cash winfall has a free bet for 2/6 instead of 3/6. i think more lotto games should do that.

That miserable free ticket prize is one more reason I am glad to see Mass Millions bite the dust. It is so hard to get even 3/6 and your prize is...another losing ticket soon to be worth nothing, essentially the lottery keeping your dollar. And then, at the bitter end, they can't even toss a little bone to players who have been shafted by the lousy free ticket prize for years.

Oh, this is cute ....If nobody hits the last MM drawing tomorrow (9/9), the money will not be added to the opening Cash WinFall drawing, but instead will be distrbuted to holders of 4/6, 5/6 and 5/6+bonus ball tickets.The cute part? Those who get 3/6 (a 57/1 shot) will not share in the roll down , but instead will still receive only 1 free ticket (for one of the other $1 lotto games, not for the $2 CW).

Everyone who hit Mass Millions is still receiving annuity payments.
