Launch dates are Mississippi's own. Payout now is what the prizes still unclaimed return per dollar of the tickets still unsold — the number the Mississippi hub ranks by — and EV / ticket is the same thing in dollars. See the methodology.

What to expect from a new game

A game on its launch day has every prize unclaimed, so the odds and payout you see are the printed ones. They start moving the moment prizes are claimed: the payout drifts down as top prizes are hit and up as ordinary tickets are sold without hitting them. That means a new release is neither a bargain nor a trap on its own; it is simply a game with no history yet. What a new game does offer is certainty. The top prizes are definitely still available, which is not true of a game that has been on shelves for a year.

Frequently asked questions

How many new Mississippi scratch-offs launched recently?
11 in the last 90 days, 4 of them in the last 30, as of November 6, 2026.
Are new scratchers better than older ones?
Not automatically. A brand-new game has every prize unclaimed, so its odds match the printed values, but an older game whose top prizes are still out there and whose tickets are mostly sold can carry a higher current payout. Compare on the Mississippi hub rather than assuming.
What should I check before buying a new game?
The printed overall odds, the payout, and whether the price tier is one you would normally buy. On a new game these are the launch numbers; nothing has moved yet.
How quickly do you list new games?
Within hours of the Mississippi Lottery publishing them: we re-read its official prize data four times a day.
