Maryland Lottery offers many games for citizens of the state to play. But which are the best games to play? It all depends on what you are looking for. You would fall into one of two different categories of lotto players. The first category of players prefer games that offer massive jackpots; the second category of players prefer games that have good odds so that their chances of winning are better, even if it means lower jackpots.

If you fall into the first category of lotto players, your game of choice from Maryland Lottery would be Mega Millions. Mega Millions is an interstate game which Maryland Lottery is a part of. Because of the huge population that play the game, jackpots tend to be massive. It is not uncommon for Mega Millions jackpots to reach $100 million plus. But, of course, the odds of winning the jackpot are bad. The odds are approximately 1-in-175-million.

If you fall into the second category of lotto players, you probably think that you have no chance in hell of winning Mega Millions. You just want to win something, anything. In that case, Bonus Match 5 is the game for you. In Bonus Match 5, you need to match 5-out-of-39 numbers to win the jackpot. Winning the jackpot nets you $50,000. The odds of winning the jackpot are approximately 1-in-575,000. You could also win the second prize by matching 4-out-of-5, plus the bonus number, which would net you $600. The odds of winning the second prize are approximately 1-in-115,000.

Of course, Maryland Lottery offers many more games including instant scratch-offs like Spicy Hot Cash, Money Bags, Deuces Are Wild, Super Slots, Hershey’s Kisses & Cash, Deal Or No Deal, Ultimate Payday, and more.
