What payout means

Current payout is the share of every dollar spent on the game that goes back to players from the prizes still unclaimed, estimated from the tickets we believe remain. A game that launched at 70% payout can drift up (big prizes still out there, many tickets sold) or down (top prizes already claimed).

Who this list is for. It is the single best number for someone who buys a few tickets a week and wants the most value back over time. It is the metric both paid competitor tiers charge for; here it is free.

Its blind spot. Payout says nothing about how often you win. A game can carry a high payout mostly through one enormous prize you will almost certainly not hit.

Movers this week

No game moved more than a tenth of a payout point in the last seven days; Connecticut publishes claims in small batches, so most weeks are quiet.

Frequently asked questions

How is payout calculated?
Current payout is the share of every dollar spent on the game that goes back to players from the prizes still unclaimed, estimated from the tickets we believe remain. A game that launched at 70% payout can drift up (big prizes still out there, many tickets sold) or down (top prizes already claimed).
Who should use the payout ranking?
It is the single best number for someone who buys a few tickets a week and wants the most value back over time. It is the metric both paid competitor tiers charge for; here it is free. Payout says nothing about how often you win. A game can carry a high payout mostly through one enormous prize you will almost certainly not hit.
Which Connecticut game is #1 on payout today?
BEST CHANCE TO BE MILLIONAIRE (#1850, $50) on September 22, 2026. The bottom of the list is DIAMONDS AND GOLD (#1677, $30).
How current are these numbers?
They come from Connecticut Lottery prize figures captured on September 22, 2026 and are recomputed daily. Rankings move when prizes are claimed, especially large ones.
