What payout means

Current payout is the share of every dollar spent on the game that goes back to players from the prizes still unclaimed, estimated from the tickets we believe remain. A game that launched at 70% payout can drift up (big prizes still out there, many tickets sold) or down (top prizes already claimed).

Who this list is for. It is the single best number for someone who buys a few tickets a week and wants the most value back over time. It is the metric both paid competitor tiers charge for; here it is free.

Its blind spot. Payout says nothing about how often you win. A game can carry a high payout mostly through one enormous prize you will almost certainly not hit.

Frequently asked questions

How is payout calculated?
Current payout is the share of every dollar spent on the game that goes back to players from the prizes still unclaimed, estimated from the tickets we believe remain. A game that launched at 70% payout can drift up (big prizes still out there, many tickets sold) or down (top prizes already claimed).
Who should use the payout ranking?
It is the single best number for someone who buys a few tickets a week and wants the most value back over time. It is the metric both paid competitor tiers charge for; here it is free. Payout says nothing about how often you win. A game can carry a high payout mostly through one enormous prize you will almost certainly not hit.
Which Maryland game is #1 on payout today?
Ace of Spades (#766, $30) on November 5, 2026. The bottom of the list is THE BIG SPIN (#791, $5).
How current are these numbers?
They come from Maryland Lottery prize figures captured on November 5, 2026 and are recomputed daily. Rankings move when prizes are claimed, especially large ones.
