Mississippi Lottery Schedules October 6 Launch for $5 Ghostbusters Scratch-Off and Two Additional Games
Mississippi Lottery launches $5 Ghostbusters scratch-off on October 6, 2026 with $100,000 top prize, themed characters, and multiple win symbols. Second-chance promo offers 13 prizes up to $10,000. Tic Tac Multiplier ($2, up to $20,000) and Six Figures ($20, up to $100,000) debut simultaneously.
SCCG Take — Themed lottery products timed to holidays can refresh instant-game portfolios. Regulators and operators should track sales data from this coordinated trio for evidence of engagement lift.
The Mississippi Lottery Corporation will make a $5 Ghostbusters scratch-off ticket available at retailers across the state starting October 6, 2026. The game ties directly into Halloween and draws on the popular franchise for its design and appeal.
Tickets feature the Ghostbusters logo, the Echo-1 car, the Stay Puft Marshmallow Man, and Slimer. Four scenes from the original film appear on each ticket. According to reporting by GamblingNews, the lottery promoted the release with a direct message to players.
Core Game Mechanics and Top Prizes
The $5 Ghostbusters game carries a top prize of $100,000. It offers multiple ways to win, including an instant-win Star, a 5X symbol, and a Bonus Spot. The lottery described it as “a $5 game with a top prize of $100,000 and multiple ways to win, including an instant-win Star, a 5X symbol, and a Bonus Spot. These festive tickets feature four scenes from the haunted Hollywood classic film.”
Non-winning tickets qualify for a second-chance promotion. That drawing distributes 13 prizes: one $10,000 prize, six $5,000 prizes, and six $1,000 prizes.
Concurrent Release of Tic Tac Multiplier and Six Figures
Two other new games reach retailers on the same October 6, 2026 date. Tic Tac Multiplier is a $2 ticket in which players scratch to match three Xs or Os in a row for prizes up to $20,000. The Six Figures game uses a $20 ticket price and offers a top prize of $100,000.
All three titles were confirmed together in the lottery’s announcement. The coordinated launch gives players distinct price points and play styles on the same day.
