Festive $500s — $5 Kansas Scratch Ticket #501
As of October 14, 2026, Festive $500s ($5, #501) still has 1,419 $500 top prizes unclaimed. It is #40 of 46 Kansas scratch tickets on our list (games with a top prize still unclaimed first, by the size of that top prize, then by how many are left, then by the better overall odds). Kansas prints its overall odds as 1 in 3.59.
No payout figure, on purpose. Kansas publishes how many prizes are left at each level of a game, but not how many it started with. A payout, an expected value or the odds today each need every prize level and how many were printed, so for Kansas 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.
Prizes remaining, as Kansas publishes them
This is a partial prize table. Kansas publishes the seven prize levels of Festive $500s and how many of each are left. It does not publish how many of each were printed, so how much of the game has been claimed cannot be read from it. Nothing in this table is an estimate. For the complete prize structure see the game's page on the Kansas Lottery site.
