Maryland Lottery Royal Gems Game Review
Six days ago, the Maryland Lottery launched its latest $1,000,000 prize scratch off game called Royal Gems. Like all $1,000,000 prize ($50,000 a year paid over 20 years, a lump sum is available but will be less than $1,000,000) games, the tickets cost $20 each.
The game offers an instant winner at the upper left of the corner under a gem studded throne. Scratch any amount under that and, you win it instantly.
In the main part of the ticket, you get 5 numbers where you can match between 1 and all 5. Here, they offer another instant win. If you scratch a 5X symbol, you win 5 times the prize shown below example: scratch a 5X symbol and have reveal a $100 prize, you actually win $500.
Top prizes offered are $1,000,000 (3 of them), $50,000 (5 of them), $10,000 (20 of them), $5,000 (25 of them) and $1,000 (283 of them of them). At the time of this post, only two $1,000 prizes had been won so, this game has LOTS of big prizes out there.
Odds of winning OVERALL (you can do better and you can do worse) in this game are 1 in 2.99.
The game does qualify for Maryland Lottery Reward points and has a box you can scan at the lower right corner if you want to find out if you won anything without scratching the whole ticket. Also, thanks to this box, you can scan the ticket with Maryland Lottery's new Rewards app for smart phones and save yourself having to enter the ticket the hard way i.e. having to enter both sets of numbers. I've used the new app. It is very good and, it's FREE.
Overall, the game is a decent game. If you like sparkly game tickets, you may be drawn to this game as it does sparkle.
Disclaimer: I don't have any association with the Maryland Lottery. All remarks are my own. Statistics for the game came from either the ticket I bought with MY own money or the Maryland Lottery website (www.mdlottery.com). Please do remember to gamble responsibly. Good luck!
