Frequently asked questions

How is cash odds calculated?
Cash odds exclude free-ticket prizes and count only tiers that pay money, again from what is still unclaimed today.
Who should use the cash odds ranking?
For players who do not want to be handed another ticket instead of a prize. The smallest cash prize is usually the ticket price itself, so a cash win is often still a break-even.
Which California game is #1 on cash odds today?
$1 Million California Cash (#1749, $40) on October 25, 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 October 25, 2026 and are recomputed daily. Rankings move when prizes are claimed, especially large ones.
