Connecticut Scratch Games: Best Tickets to Buy Right Now (November 2026)

Updated November 6, 2026, 09:30 UTC · 57 games on sale · 26 ending

As of November 6, 2026, the Connecticut scratch game with the best odds of winning anything is $250,000 CA$HWORD 2ND EDITION ($20) at 1 in 2.84 — recomputed from the prizes actually left, not taken from the back of the ticket. Next best is MILLIONAIRE MAKER ($30) at 1 in 2.95. The list below puts $30,000 CA$HWORD ($3) first at 1 in 2.63, but that figure comes from prize tiers that disagree about how many of its tickets are left (printed odds 1 in 3.74), so we do not lead with it. For the most money back per ticket rather than the most frequent win, it is $100, $200 OR $500 ($20) at 79.9% — $15.98 back on a $20 ticket. All 57 games on sale are ranked below, none of them paywalled, updated every day from the official Connecticut Lottery figures. 0 of 57 have no top prize left; 8 launched in the last 30 days.

About Connecticut scratch games

Connecticut sells Scratch Games in price points from $1 to $50, and the Connecticut Lottery publishes everything the analysis on this page needs: how many prizes each game started with, how many are still unclaimed, the overall odds, and — unusually — how many tickets were printed. That last figure is why the odds here are exact rather than estimated. Most states give one overall odds figure and we spread it across the prize table; Connecticut gives the ticket count, so each prize level's odds are simply tickets divided by prizes at that level. Across all 74 games the two figures agree to within a fifth of a percent. The method is on our methodology page.

Where to buy: licensed retailers across Connecticut, typically convenience stores, grocery stores and gas stations. Prizes up to $599 can be claimed at any retailer. Larger prizes are claimed at the Connecticut Lottery headquarters in Rocky Hill or by mail; the back of the ticket carries the exact instructions, and you have one year from the announced end of the game to claim.

Tax: Connecticut withholds 6.99% state tax and 24% federal on prizes over $5,000. Withholding is not the same as what you finally owe, which depends on your total income for the year. For anything large enough to change your tax bracket, talk to an accountant before you claim.

A word on what these numbers can and cannot do. Scratch game outcomes are fixed when the tickets are printed; nothing you read here changes the ticket in your hand. What the data does tell you is which games currently return more of each dollar to players and which still have their big prizes outstanding. Over many tickets that is a real difference in how much you lose. It is never an edge: every Connecticut Scratch Game returns less than it costs, by design.
