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. While there is no fee to enter, winners in the standard plate lottery will be required to pay the special plate fee in addition to the applicable standard vehicle registration fee.

15 People Displaced in Pittsfield Home Fires

Staff Reports11:35AM / Sunday, October 11, 2026

PITTSFIELD, Mass. — Fifteen people were displaced after 2-alarm home fires this weekend on Springside Avenue and Elaine Drive.

On Friday evening, the Fire Department responded to a structure fire at 209 Springside Ave., which took a four-hour battle to extinguish and resulted in a partial roof collapse. The next day, on Saturday evening, crews knocked down a fire at 121 Elaine Drive in about an hour.

The garage and part of the single-family home on Elaine Drive were gutted to the frame, along with a vehicle parked in the driveway. On Springside Avenue, the top level and porch of the multifamily were burned through.

A GoFundMe has been started for the family of the Elaine Drive home, which includes several young children. The fundraiser, with a $5,500 goal, explains they lost their home and all of their belongings. (iBerkshires.com does not confirm or endorse fundraisers; they are provided as information only.)

There were no civilian or firefighter injuries, and both incidents are under investigation. One dog was rescued on Springside Avenue.

On Oct. 10, around 6:15 p.m., PFD responded to the Springside Avenue home for a reported structure fire and saw a 2 1/2-story wood frame multifamily with a heavy blaze showing from the second-floor front porch, extending out.

The building suffered a partial roof collapse, which prolonged extinguishment. The fire was brought under control after about four hours.

“An aggressive offensive attack was mounted by first arriving crews stretching hose lines into the building as well as primary searches that proved negative. Ladders were placed around the structure to provide access as well as escape if needed. An off-duty Fire Captain had also been on scene early in the incident to help evacuate the structure and rescue a dog,” PFD wrote in a press release.
