Break the Bank — $5 Mississippi Scratch-Off #217
Break the Bank (#217) is a $5 Mississippi scratch-off launched on August 5, 2025. As of September 22, 2026 it ranks #2 of 76 active games on current payout (120.9%, $6.05 expected back per ticket) and #2 of 21 $5 games, #1 on any-prize odds (1 in 1.70) and #52 on top-prize odds (—). Since launch the payout has risen 51.6 points (69.3% at launch) and your chance of winning something has risen 136.3% (1 in 4.01 at launch). 0 of 2 top prizes of $100,000 remain, and we estimate 29,538 tickets are still unsold (97.1% sold). That puts it among the best Mississippi scratch-offs to buy right now. Note: a payout above 100% means the unclaimed prizes are worth more than the remaining tickets cost. That is genuinely possible this far into a game's run, but it is also where our ticket-count estimate is weakest, so read it as "unusually rich", not as a guarantee (how we calculate this).
