Best $5 Massachusetts Scratch Tickets (September 2026)

Data captured September 12, 2026 · 35 active $5 games

As of September 12, 2026, 35 $5 scratch tickets are on sale in Massachusetts, averaging 75.2% current payout. The best of them is $1,000,000 Monopoly Doubler at 89.1% ($4.46 back per ticket, 1 in 2.48 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%, $2 games average 64.5%, $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 $5 tier the spread between the best and worst game is 51.6 payout points, which is why the table matters more than the tier.
