Maryland Lottery - When to Play
Use this guide to determine when to play a specific game in the Maryland lottery.  This page focuses on the odds of playing any particular game and what I call the "Expected Value" to determine when is the best time to play.
Maryland
Mega Millions - Avoid
Based on the odds of playing the Mega Millions, the Jackpot shoud be at least $143,752,177 before you consider playing.  I do not recommend playing Mega Millions games because the odds are far too astronomical for you to affect.
Bonus Match 5 - Avoid
I am not really sure why the state of Maryland wouldn't offer a rolling jackpot for this lottery game but it doesn't and it's not worth playing.  The jackpot is $50,000 and with these measley odds compared to the prizes you would need a jackpot of $400,000 to play this game.  Here are your lottery odds.
