About Maryland scratch-offs

Maryland sells scratch-offs in price points from $1 to $50, and the Maryland Lottery publishes, for every game, how many prizes it started with, how many are still unclaimed and the overall probability of winning. Those figures come from mdlottery.com and are refreshed daily; each game carries the date its records were last updated. Maryland does not publish the odds of each individual prize level, so the tier odds here are derived by spreading its overall probability across the prize table — the method is set out on our methodology page.

Where to buy: licensed retailers across Maryland, typically convenience stores, grocery stores and gas stations. Retailers can redeem winning tickets up to and including $600. Above that you claim at Maryland Lottery headquarters, which takes appointments only — walk-ins are not permitted — and you will need photo identification and proof of your Social Security or Federal Tax ID number, with the name matching on both.

One thing Maryland does better than most states: it tells you when a game will end. A scratch-off with no last date to claim listed has no end established yet, and when one is set the Lottery announces it with 182 days' notice. That is why some games here are marked as no longer on sale while their prizes can still be claimed, and why an end date can appear on a game you can still buy today.

Tax: Maryland withholds 9.5% state tax from residents (8.75% from non-residents) and 24% federal on prizes over $5,000. Withholding is not the same as what you finally owe, which depends on your total income for the year. For anything large enough to change your tax bracket, talk to an accountant before you claim.

A word on what these numbers can and cannot do. Scratcher outcomes are fixed when the tickets are printed; nothing you read here changes the ticket in your hand. What the data does tell you is which games currently return more of each dollar to players and which still have their big prizes outstanding. Over many tickets that is a real difference in how much you lose. It is never an edge: every Maryland scratch-off returns less than it costs, by design.
