Big Day for Massachusetts Lottery Players
Saturday brought plenty of excitement across the state. In total, around 290 lottery prizes worth $600 or more were won or claimed in Massachusetts.
Some cities with multiple winners included:
-
Springfield: 7 prizes
-
Worcester: 14 prizes
-
Boston: 12 prizes
The Massachusetts State Lottery publishes a daily list of winning tickets, but it only includes prizes valued at more than $600, meaning there are many smaller wins happening every day as well.
Biggest Win of the Year (So Far)
While $50,000 is a solid prize, the largest lottery payout in Massachusetts in 2026 so far has been much bigger. A lucky player claimed $5 million from the “$5,000,000 100X Cashword 2024” scratch ticket.
One thing is clear: lottery luck continues to spread across Massachusetts, with new winners popping up almost every day. ???
