Are People of Massachusetts Among Most Thankful States?

Fact Checked by Pat McLoone

Two words that Americans use frequently but still maybe not enough each day: thank you.

BetMassachusetts.com took a break from covering Massachusetts sports betting and decided to look at which states across the United States are the most thankful. While it is hard to objectively decipher thankfulness, we found two key statistics to help us with our research.

BetMassachusetts.com â€“ your source for Massachusetts sports betting apps - utilized two combined data points to develop the ranking of the 50 U.S. states from most to least thankful. We utilized Toast’s data showing the state rankings of highest average tip percentage to restaurants during 2022 and Google Trends search interest of “Thank You Notes” over past 12 months to develop our campaign.

Here is where the birth state of the traditional Thanksgiving holiday ranked.

Hard to Be Thankful Recently

Die-hard Boston sports fans always have had many thankful moments in their individual fandoms, but after the recent performances of the Bruins and the Celtics, it has been difficult to express how appreciative they are.

Despite being big favorites at DraftKings Massachusetts and other sportsbooks, the Bruins and Celtics lost Game 7s at home.

Actually, it has been 1,578 days since the city has raised a trophy and celebrated in any of the four major sports (the New England Patriots in 2018).
