JUMBO BUCKS — $10 Connecticut Scratch Game #1843
JUMBO BUCKS (#1843) was a $10 Connecticut scratch game launched on August 30, 2025. Its final figures, from November 2, 2026, were 123.0% payout ($12.30 expected back per ticket), 1 in 1.71 for any prize and — for the top prize. Since launch the payout has risen 53.9 points (69.0% at launch) and your chance of winning something has risen 112.6% (1 in 3.65 at launch). 0 of 3 top prizes of $100,000 were never claimed, and we estimate 98.6% of its tickets had sold. JUMBO BUCKS is no longer on sale in Connecticut; the figures below are final as of November 2, 2026 and prizes can be claimed until November 1, 2026. Note: a payout above 100% means the unclaimed prizes are worth more than the remaining tickets cost. That is genuinely possible this far into a game's run, but it is also where our ticket-count estimate is weakest, so read it as "unusually rich", not as a guarantee (how we calculate this).
