Overview
- The Massachusetts State Lottery activated Mass Lottery Online on Monday, July 27, 2026, for residents aged 21 and older, using a website and mobile app for in-state play.
- The platform offers familiar draw games such as Mega Millions and Powerball plus more than 20 new eInstant titles and two online-only daily draws called Mass 3 and Mass 4, while Keno and some retail games remain in stores.
- State officials estimate about $70 million in net profit in the first year and project substantially higher revenue in later years, with online proceeds earmarked for early childhood education grants.
- Account registration requires full identity verification including a nine-digit Social Security number, multi-factor authentication and device checks, and players can set deposit limits, session timers and self-exclude to promote responsible play.
- The system runs under a five-year, revenue-share contract with Aristocrat Interactive capped at 5%, prohibits credit-card payments, and requires online prizes of $50,000 or more to be claimed in person at Lottery headquarters in Dorchester.
