World class millions was a scratch off game in Massachusetts in 2014, the game is sold out leaving one 15 million dollar prize outstanding, I presently have 6 unscratched tickets, what are my odds given that the game is extinct? (I have until September to cash out if I have won)

From a purely mathematical standpoint, not factoring in variables (such as the prize was carelessly thrown away), your odds would be whatever the original odds were, divided by 6. Now, obviously there are a ton of other variables including the remains jackpot's range (which would be a close guesstimate) all the way up to how many partial books were destroyed? Or how many full books never sold? Only someone with a good bit of inside knowledge could help you with that.
if you want to preserve the integrity and looks of the ticket, you could always just minimally scratch the barcode and scan it to check. It could then remain uncratched.
