What is the MA Lottery?
MA Lottery is the widely used abbreviation for the Massachusetts State Lottery, the official lottery operated by the Commonwealth of Massachusetts. It offers draw games like The Numbers Game, Mass Cash, Megabucks, Mega Millions and Powerball, as well as instant tickets and Keno, all regulated and administered by the state.[7]
The Lottery publishes daily winning numbers, prize amounts and game rules on its official website, helping players understand how each game works and how to check their tickets. This central platform serves as the authoritative source for results, game updates and information on how lottery revenue is distributed to local communities.[7]
Recent draws, results and jackpots
Daily games such as The Numbers Game and Mass Cash post new winning combinations every day, with detailed archives that let players browse results by calendar month and year. Independent result calendars for 2025 show each draw’s winning numbers in a structured grid, making it easy for frequent players to review patterns or verify older tickets.[1][2]
Mass Cash maintains a straightforward format, drawing five numbers for a top prize of $100,000, and result pages list how many winners hit each prize tier in every draw. At the same time, Powerball draw results show when no jackpot tickets are sold, causing the grand prize to roll over and reach headline-making levels that attract more Massachusetts players to the next drawing.[3][4]
How players check numbers and follow winners
Players can check their MA Lottery numbers through multiple official channels, including an online past-results lookup that lets them select a specific game and date to confirm winning numbers. This tool, combined with televised and streamed drawings, gives players near real-time access to outcomes and reduces uncertainty about whether a ticket has won.[5][7]
The Lottery also publishes recent big winners and their selling locations, highlighting prizes won on games like Keno and other draw products at retailers across the state.[6] These announcements not only celebrate individual winners but also draw attention to participating local businesses and reinforce the broader benefit of lottery revenue to Massachusetts communities through local aid funding.[6][7]
