MMC payouts for the final drawing were pari-mutuel, and were much higher than the fixed payouts for each prize tier. In late March 2015, MMC returned as a scratch-off game; as of April 6, there were nine lotteries offering it. Pennsylvania had committed to offering the $5 instant game; as with the draw game, players of the MMC scratch ticket could win a trip-for-two to Las Vegas to participate in a taping of the MMC television game show, which was hosted by Mike & Molly's Billy Gardell, a native of Pittsburgh.
