On June 22, 2015, Maryland Lottery launched it's newest $1 million dollar prize scratch off game. The game is called Hit It BIG. The game offers 3 $1 million dollar prizes (the $1 million dollar prize is paid over 20 years in an annuity, a lump sum payment is available BUT the winner will receive less than $1 million dollars in that case) as well as prizes of $50,000, $10,000, $5,000, $1,000 and lesser amounts. At the time of this posting, all the big prizes are up for grabs i.e. none have been claimed.
The game features 2 different games on each ticket. In the first game, you have the standard 6 numbers where you try to match any or all of them in the 21 numbers beneath them. There is an instant win chance. When you see the word BIG, you win the prize below it. In the second game, you have 7 dice rolls. If your dice add up to 7 or 11, you win the prize below them. This game also has an instant win chance on it. If you see on any of the dice the symbol DBL, you win double the prize below it.
The odds of winning in this game are 1 in 2.97. Please remember, this is the OVERALL odds. You can do better and, you can do WORSE. I've personally seen both.
The game is eligible for lottery reward points. There isn't any kind of 2nd chance drawing with this game.
Overall, it's an all right game. Personally, I like the Instant Millionaire game better as you can find out a lot faster if you won something (see my review on that game).
Do remember to gamble responsibly. The odds are not in your favor of hitting it rich.
Lastly, all information for the review came from the game ticket I bought with my OWN money and the game page on the Maryland Lottery website. I don't have any connection with the Maryland Lottery and any opinions on this review are my own. Good luck!
