Mass Lottery Instant Ticket Ripoff

The Massachusetts State Lottery has introduced a new instant ticket called “World Class Millions” and this $30 ticket is a world-class ripoff. Players would probably get more pleasure, do more good, and get the same return on investment if they walked down the street and handed out their money to strangers.

I first heard about this game a couple of months ago while waiting in line at the West Acton Mobil. A customer in front of me purchased about $200 worth of these tickets, which was a real eye-opener. I had no idea that “instant tickets” had turned into high-stakes gambling. But $10, $20 and now $30 instant tickets are available at every local convenience store and gas station.

It’s not just that these tickets are a poor gambling value. I also believe the Lottery is intentionally misleading the public about these instant games in order to boost their revenue. They can get away with this probably because most people assume that “the state” would not willingly and knowingly rip off its citizens. If you feel that way, you might want to think again.

People who purchase Mass Lottery instant tickets are wasting their money. The goal of this article is to explain what a poor investment these tickets are and to suggest that gamblers indulge their desires in more productive and entertaining gambling alternatives. I hope that anyone who ever regularly purchases Mass Lottery Instant Tickets will carefully read this article and change their behavior immediately.
