$15M, $1M grand prizes unclaimed as 23 Mass. lotto games near expiration

Prizes for 23 different scratch ticket games sold in Massachusetts will expire next month as sales for the nearly two dozen games come to an end.

Players have less than one month to claim prizes for the games — many of which have large grand prizes remaining to be claimed, like "Jaws" with one $1 million prize left as of March 16.

Another game that will come to an end next month, called "$15,000,000 Money Maker," still has one $15 million top prize remaining to be claimed.

The launch years for the 23 games range from 2021 to 2024, which are coming to an end as part of the Lottery's standard procedures, according to an announcement from the Massachusetts State Lottery.

The decision to end any game is usually made when a game's top prize or grand prizes have been claimed, or when the ticket is out of stock.

Games may also come to an end for other reasons, such as if "sales are no longer economically practical or the rate of sales are negatively impacting Second and Bonus Chance drawings," the Lottery said.

All claims for prizes must be received by the Massachusetts State Lottery before 5 p.m. on the date of the final day to redeem.

Any prize that expires becomes part of the next profit returned to the state by the lottery each year. Prizes under $601 can be claimed at any lottery agent location in the state and those under $5,000 can be claimed on the MA Lottery app.

Prizes up to $103,000 can be claimed at Lottery claim centers, which are located in Braintree, Dorchester, Lawrence, New Bedford, West Springfield and Worcester. All prizes over $103,000 must be claimed at Lottery headquarters in Dorchester.
