Data captured September 12, 2026 · 26 active $2 games

As of September 12, 2026, 26 $2 scratch tickets are on sale in Massachusetts, averaging 64.5% current payout. The best of them is $100 STACKED at 76.1% ($1.52 back per ticket, 1 in 4.23 for any prize).

Price is the strongest predictor of payout on a scratcher: the more a ticket costs, the larger the share of its price the lottery returns in prizes. In Massachusetts today, $1 games average 71.7%, $5 games average 75.2%, $10 games average 82.6%, $20 games average 84.3%, $30 games average 83.0%, $50 games average 64.6%. That is an average, not a rule: within this $2 tier the spread between the best and worst game is 31.0 payout points, which is why the table matters more than the tier.
