Questions people ask

Which scratcher should I buy?
The one that gives the most back per dollar right now in your own state — the only tickets you can buy. Every state lottery designs its own games, so the answer is different in every state and changes as prizes are claimed. Pick your state above for today's ranking at every price, the newest games and the top prizes still left. No scratcher pays back more than it costs on average, so set a budget first.
Are scratch-off odds the same everywhere?
No. Every state lottery designs its own games and prize tables, so two $10 tickets in different states can pay back very different amounts. And the odds on a ticket change after it goes on sale: as prizes are claimed, what is left to win shifts, which is why the odds printed on the back stop being true. We recompute them every day from what is actually left.
How do you know how many prizes are left?
Each lottery publishes how many prizes at each level are still unclaimed, game by game, and most update it daily. We read those official figures every day and work out current odds and payout from them. Sources lists exactly where each state's numbers come from, and methodology shows the arithmetic.
Is this free?
Yes, all of it: every state, every ticket, every number, including the payout and profit odds other sites charge for. No app, no account, no paywall. The site is paid for by the ads on the page.
