Learning how to play Mass Cash is as easy as pie. Why? Have you ever played Powerball? Mass Cash is similar but with a few differences.
-
You still choose five numbers, but there isn’t a bonus ball.
-
There are fewer balls to choose from.
-
Instead of the odds of winning the grand prize being 1 in 292 million, like with Powerball, the odds of winning the top prize with Mass Cash is 324,632.
That’s better odds, and revenue generated from this game goes to help state programs.
Mass Cash
Mass Cash has been available in Massachusetts since 1991. Initially, the drawings were done three times per week. As the game gained popularity among lotto lovers, the drawings went to nightly in 2011.
