Mass RMV Reminds Residents to Enter the 2026 Low Number Plate Lottery

BOSTON - The Massachusetts Registry of Motor Vehicles (RMV) is reminding residents across Massachusetts that applications remain open for the 2026 Annual Low Number Plate Lottery.

Any state resident with an active passenger vehicle registration may apply through the myRMV Online Service Center until 5 p.m. on Friday, August 14, 2026. There is no fee to enter the lottery.  

To date, over 12,000 residents from across Massachusetts have entered the lottery. This year’s lottery includes 237 low-number standard passenger license plates, including the numbers 318, 7575, 8J, 66K, V3 and L99. Winners and alternate winners will be selected electronically through a random number generator and notified by the RMV.  

The lottery applies to standard white Massachusetts passenger plates and is separate from the one-time lottery previously held for commemorative 250th Anniversary plates.

Allendale Pines North Affordable Manufactured Homes Sell Fast

Developer Teton Management cut the ribbon on the first six hopes in the manufactured housing community earlier this year. 

PITTSFIELD, Mass. — Just a few months after Allendale Pines North cut the ribbon on its first six homes in the new manufactured home community, units in the planned development are selling fast with both first and second phases all but sold out.

 

For several years, Teton Management Corp. has been planning to expand its existing Allendale Pines Mobile Community with the development of 22 planned manufactured housing units. The new development has its own entrance at 395 Cheshire Road. 

 

The need for attainable housing has never been higher, Teton President George Whaling said. 

 

"And where we sought the opportunity to help with that demand is, we can get folks into a home at Allendale Pines North for essentially a couple of $100 less than what it would cost for someone to rent a three-bedroom of the same quality," he said. 

 

The corporation took over Allendale Pines, now referred to as Allendale Pines South, about 6 1/2 years ago, Whaling said. 

 

Since then, the corporation has invested $1,000,001 in infrastructure improvements, including replacing all water and sewer lines, paving the community and installing the infrastructure needed for 10 additional units, he said. 

 

Additionally, it has been working to clean up and improve the community, which was lacking during previous ownership, said Jason Nocher, owner of Nocher Realty, which has been hired to help sell the units.
