BOSTON – The Massachusetts Department of Transportation (MassDOT) is announcing that the Registry of Motor Vehicles will hold the 2021 Low Plate Lottery drawing on Wednesday, September 8, 2021, during a virtual event which will begin at 9:30 a.m. The drawing will be livestreamed on Mass.Gov at 2021 Massachusetts RMV Low Plate Lottery on Livestream (livestream.com/mbta/2021-low-plate-lottery).

This year, a record number of applications were submitted online - 17,017 applications were submitted for 197 available low number plates. Some of this year’s low plate characters are 210, 2762, 1H, 24L, F1, J25 and X25. The complete list of available plates is online at Mass.Gov/RMV. 

Applicants were informed there is no fee to apply. However, should the applicant be selected as a winner, there is a fee that will be required, as the fee is required of all new license plates, as well as a standard registration fee.
