What any-prize odds means
Any-prize odds are the chance that one ticket wins something, including free tickets, estimated from the prizes still unclaimed against the tickets still in circulation.
Who this list is for. Best for players who want frequent small wins and the fun of scratching a winner, rather than chasing the jackpot.
Its blind spot. Many of those wins are break-even prizes: a free ticket or your money back. Check the cash-odds and profit-odds lists before deciding.
As of September 9, 2026, the California scratchers leading on any-prize odds are Royal Jackpot ($40, 1 in 2.58 for any prize), Crossword Xtreme ($30, 1 in 2.68 for any prize) and 200X ($30, 1 in 2.79 for any prize).

Frequently asked questions
- How is any-prize odds calculated?
- Any-prize odds are the chance that one ticket wins something, including free tickets, estimated from the prizes still unclaimed against the tickets still in circulation.
- Who should use the any-prize odds ranking?
- Best for players who want frequent small wins and the fun of scratching a winner, rather than chasing the jackpot. Many of those wins are break-even prizes: a free ticket or your money back. Check the cash-odds and profit-odds lists before deciding.
- Which California game is #1 on any-prize odds today?
- Royal Jackpot (#1718, $40) on September 9, 2026. The bottom of the list is $50 or $100 (#1738, $10).
- How current are these numbers?
- They come from California Lottery prize figures captured on September 9, 2026 and are recomputed daily. Rankings move when prizes are claimed, especially large ones.
