Two $15 million prizes remain in the “Supreme Millions” game, the Mass. Lottery’s second $30 instant ticket.  Twenty-nine of the game’s sixty-six $1 million instant prizes have been claimed to date.  Additionally, four $1 million prizes have been awarded through the game’s Second Chance Drawings, which allow players to enter non-winning tickets online for opportunities to win substantial cash prizes.  Two $1 million prize winners are selected in each of the five Second Chance Drawings in this game.  There are three drawings remaining.

“Supreme Millions” is the Lottery’s second $30 instant ticket, joining “World Class Millions,” which launched in April of 2014 and has produced three $15 million winners to date.
