Frequently asked questions

How is top-prize odds calculated?
Top-prize odds are the chance that a ticket bought today is one of the remaining top-prize winners, from unclaimed top prizes against tickets we estimate remain.
Who should use the top-prize odds ranking?
For players who only care about the biggest prize on the ticket. These odds are in the millions for most games; small differences between games are real but do not change the fact that you will almost certainly not win it.
Which California game is #1 on top-prize odds today?
$100 or $200 (#1687, $20) on October 25, 2026. The bottom of the list is Crossword Xtreme (#1726, $30).
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.
