New York scratch-offs by prize size: common questions

Which New York scratch-off has the best odds of winning $1,000 or more?
For the money, MILLIONAIRE MAKER ($20): 1 in 2,959 wins $1,000+ as of October 25, 2026. On a single ticket, $3,000,000 200X CASHWORD ($30) does better, 1 in 2,289, but it costs more.
How is this list ranked?
By cost per win: a ticket's price times its current odds of a prize that size, which is what you would spend, on average, for each one. The odds are the prizes of that size or bigger still unclaimed, divided by the tickets we estimate are left: the same per-prize figures as each game's own page, added up. Per ticket, the priciest games would top every list just because they cost more; per dollar, a $5 game that pays $1,000 one time in 4,000 ($20,000 per win) beats a $30 game that pays it one time in 1,000 ($30,000). Only cash prizes count, not free tickets. A game is not listed at a prize size its own price already reaches, prizes paid over time count at the value the lottery prints, and 25 games whose current figures fail our plausibility check are left out. More on how we calculate odds.
What are the odds of winning $100 or more on a New York scratch-off?
As good as 1 in 5.68 on $100, $200 0R $500 ($30), and 1 in 240.2 on a typical game. Those are today's odds, from the prizes still left, not the ones printed at launch.
Which New York scratch-off gives the best chance of winning $1 million or more?
NEW YORK MILLIONAIRE ($5), both per ticket and for the money: 1 in 477,833 wins $1 million+, 1 left. Odds that long mean almost every ticket misses, whichever game you pick. Play for fun.
Why does $600 matter on a scratch-off?
In most states it is about where the store stops paying. Smaller wins are cash at the counter; bigger ones you claim from the lottery by mail or at an office, with the signed ticket and ID. It is no longer the IRS reporting line, which moved to $2,000 in 2026. See claiming and taxes.
Do expensive scratch-offs have better odds of big prizes?
Per ticket, usually. MILLIONAIRE MAKER ($20): 1 in 2,959 wins $1,000+. DOUBLE TRIPLE CASHWORD (#1708, $5): 1 in 17,831. In New York today the pricier ticket wins per dollar too: about $59,188 per win against $89,157.
Is a game with lots of big prizes left more likely to pay out soon?
Only as much as these odds already say. Every ticket was printed before the game shipped, and the next one wins at the odds shown here: prizes left against tickets left. Nothing is ever "due".
