New Scratch Games in Idaho (October 2026)
As of October 14, 2026, 15 Idaho scratch games are new: 15 launched or first listed in the last 90 days. Newest first: Starry Night ($10, top prize $100,000).
No payout figure, on purpose. Idaho publishes how many of each prize were printed, but how many are left only for prizes of $25 and up. A payout, an expected value or the odds today each need every prize level and how many were printed, so for Idaho we show exactly what its lottery publishes and compute nothing from it. A figure built from part of a table would be wrong, not rough: it is how one state's partial table produced games that appeared to pay back more than they cost. How we treat partial prize tables.

"Flagged new" is Idaho's own label on its prizes-remaining list. "First listed" is the day a game first appeared in that list, which we have read since October 14, 2026; a game already there on our first day is not dated at all rather than given our date. Top prizes left and overall odds are Idaho's figures, unchanged.
What to expect from a new game
A game on its launch day has every prize unclaimed, so its top prizes are all still in play — the one thing that is certain about a new release and not about an old one. Beyond that a new game is neither a bargain nor a trap: its overall odds are printed on the ticket and do not change, and what a ticket is worth cannot be read from Idaho's figures: Idaho publishes how many of each prize were printed, but how many are left only for prizes of $25 and up.
Watch the top-prize count over the first weeks. A top prize claimed early is the most common way a new game loses its appeal for a jackpot hunter, and it shows up on the game's page here the day Idaho publishes it.

- Usually most of them, but not always: a big prize can be claimed in a game's first week. The counts below are Idaho's own, as of October 14, 2026.
- Why is there no payout for new Idaho games?
- Idaho publishes how many of each prize were printed, but how many are left only for prizes of $25 and up. A payout cannot be computed from that, for a new game or an old one.
