BILLION DOLLAR EXTRAVAGANZA — $50 Massachusetts Scratch Ticket #387

Data captured · launched February 7, 2023

BILLION DOLLAR EXTRAVAGANZA (#387) is a $50 Massachusetts scratch ticket launched on February 7, 2023. As of October 25, 2026 it ranks #129 of 129 active games on current payout (15.3%, $7.63 expected back per ticket) and #4 of 4 $50 games, #129 on any-prize odds (1 in 42.6) and #105 on top-prize odds (—). Since launch the payout has fallen 68.4 points (83.7% at launch) and your chance of winning something has fallen 90.4% (1 in 4.10 at launch). 0 of 3 top prizes of $25,000,000 ($1.25M/YR/20YRS) remain, and we estimate 1,761,454 tickets are still unsold (94.2% sold). Its current figures fail our plausibility check (the caution below), so whatever its place in the list, we do not count it among the best Massachusetts scratch tickets to buy. A caution on the current figures: the any-prize odds have moved from 1 in 4.10 to 1 in 42.6, further than a game's odds really move. Its prize tiers disagree about how many tickets are left (between 0.15 million and 0.68 million), usually because small prizes are claimed late, and the current odds and payout lean on that disagreement. The printed odds are the safer guide, and our summaries do not name this game the best of anything (how we estimate).
