"Thanks to our customers, employees, and statewide retail partners, we were once again able to deliver over $1 billion to our cities and towns," said Mark William Bracken, Executive Director of the Mass Lottery. "Massachusetts continues to offer one of the strongest portfolios of games available to players, and our record-setting prize payout percentage underscores that player success is at the heart of our operations."
With a record prize payout percentage of 74.1, Mass Lottery players won $4.416 billion in prizes in FY 2025.
