Massachusetts lottery questions
- What lottery games can you play in Massachusetts?
- Mega Millions and Powerball, plus Massachusetts State Lottery's own draw games and scratch tickets. We publish the multi-state analysis and the Massachusetts rules; Massachusetts State Lottery's own draw games are not in our database yet.
- Does Massachusetts sell Power Play and Double Play?
- Power Play, yes — $1 a play. Double Play, no: 30 of the 48 lotteries sell it and Massachusetts is not one of them, so a Massachusetts line tops out at $3.
- How much tax does Massachusetts withhold from lottery winnings?
- 5%, held back before the cheque is written and on top of 24% federal withholding. Withholding is not the final bill. The calculator works out what you would actually keep.
- Which Massachusetts lottery game has the best odds?
- Mega Millions, at 1 in 23.07 of winning something — though the prizes are correspondingly smaller, and winning often is not the same as winning much. A scratch ticket is a different proposition again: the best on sale in Massachusetts now returns about 98 cents on the dollar.
- Where do these Massachusetts numbers come from?
- The multi-state games are cross-checked against several official sources before we publish them. Every source is listed here. The Massachusetts rules on this page were read from powerball.com and Massachusetts State Lottery on 2026-09-22.
