Ending District of Columbia Scratchers (October 2026)

Data captured · 16 games no longer on sale

Background: Claiming a prize, and the tax that comes with it

16 District of Columbia scratchers have stopped selling but can still be claimed (as of October 14, 2026). 12 of them still list an unclaimed top prize. A game whose sales have ended is worth a look only if you already hold tickets: check the last claim date and whether the prizes you might hold are still unpaid.

When a lottery ends a game it stops shipping tickets first, then closes claims some months later. In between, tickets already in the wild remain winners. The reason to read this page is the second column: if you have a drawer of old tickets, the last claim date tells you how long you have, and the prizes-left figure tells you whether anything worth claiming is still outstanding.

Sales ended, claims only

These can no longer be bought, so there is no payout or odds to quote: each card shows the last claim date and the prizes District of Columbia still lists as unclaimed.

Frequently asked questions

How many District of Columbia scratchers are ending?
16 have stopped selling but still accept claims, as of October 14, 2026.
Can I still claim a prize on an ending game?
Yes, until the last claim date shown for that game. After that the prize is forfeited, no matter how large. If you hold old tickets, check them against this list now.
What happens to prizes nobody claims?
They stay unclaimed. 12 of the games whose sales have ended still list at least one unclaimed top prize, which is money that will most likely never be paid out.
Should I buy a game that is ending?
None of these can be bought: their sales have ended, which is why their cards show only the claim deadline and what is unclaimed. A game still on sale but due to end appears here with its payout and odds as soon as District of Columbia announces it.
