The only way I put down a fifty on this scratcher is if I win fifty (or hopefully more) from playing another scratcher ..... like a five or less likely ten.

Bad deal. They force you into an annuity. It may be slightly more than what the usual annuity is but they force you into it and not many want it because they are too old for an annuity or just want all their money for a 50.00 scratch ticket play. Pass on this lemon of a scratch ticket.

With an overall prize payout of 82% , the ticket also offers the highest payout percentage of any game offered by the Massachusetts Lottery alongside its original $50 game, Billion Dollar Extravaganza. The base prize is $100, double the cost of the ticket.

The top three prizes are paid as annuities. I did the calculation, and this number reflects the cash value of these prizes, not the nominal value. Bravo

Here in Ohio. We have 2 $50 scratch off tickets. I thought they wouldn't prevail but they are doing pretty well that Ohio lottery decided to release the 2nd $50 ticket. The 1st ticket top prize was $20 million or $1 million a year for 20 years. One prize was hit in Cleveland and the woman did the Smart thing and took the annuity yearly payments. After taxes she gets $750,000 a year for 20 years. The 2nd ticket top prize is $15 Million. So far no one won that yet

* Interesting odds there Ranett. I took a gander at CA's $40.00 scratcher : Celebrating 40 years being in the game.

$ 15 mil. ( odds-1-3,040,782). Prizes remaining; 3 of 5.

$100,000 ( odds 1-1,520,391) Prizes remaining ; 6 of 10

At least $100,000 total in scratcher 2nd chance weekly pool draws.

* These top prize Mass odds are disheartening to say the least for scratcher enthusiasts.

Won't sell in Ma. all that well. Lottery players are savvy in this state and also are very cheap here. 25m reduced to about 7m after taking the cash and taxes get hold of it does not impress anyone here.

I don't like scratching anything. But if they are going to pony up $25M instant cash, instead of the usual stupid annuity, I am all in. Let's go scratching.
