Which New York scratch-offs have sold lots but paid out few top prizes?

7 today. 100Xtra: 58% sold, only 1 of 4 top prizes claimed; $25,000 EXTRA CA$H: 81% sold, only 6 of 10 top prizes claimed; 9S IN A LINE DOUBLER: 92% sold, only 10 of 13 top prizes claimed.

Does that mean a top prize is about to be won?

No. Every ticket was a winner or not from the day it was printed. What changes is the odds: the top prizes left are spread over fewer tickets, so 6 of these games have better jackpot odds than on launch day. They are still long odds.

How do you decide a game is behind?

A game that has sold half its tickets would, on average, have paid out about half its top prizes. We list a game when at least one whole top prize fewer has been claimed than its share of sales would usually bring, and the share of top prizes left beats the share of tickets left by 5 points or more. For 100Xtra, about 58% sold would usually mean about 2.3 top prizes claimed; 1 has been. The share sold is our estimate from the official prize counts (see methodology).

Could a top prize already be won and just not claimed?

Yes. A prize counts as claimed only once the winner turns the ticket in, and winners have months to do it, so part of any gap is tickets already sold. 1 of the 7 games here had a top prize claimed in the last 30 days.

Are these the best New York scratch-offs to buy?

Not on value: their median payout is 63.3%, against 67.3% for every scratch-off on sale, because top prizes are a small part of most games' prize money. For the most back per dollar, see the payout ranking.

Yes, every day. One paid tier elsewhere sells this as a subscriber alert; here it is a page anyone can read.

New York Scratch-Offs: Lots Sold, Few Top Prizes Claimed (October 2026)

Updated October 25, 2026, 04:11 UTC · 7 behind on top prizes · 17 in their last tickets

As of October 25, 2026, 7 New York scratch-offs have sold lots of tickets but paid out few top prizes. Top of the list: 100Xtra ($10), 58% sold, only 1 of 4 top prizes claimed, with jackpot odds of 1 in 3.1 million, better than 1 in 5.5 million on launch day. 17 games are in their last 10% of tickets with a top prize still waiting.

What it means: fewer top prizes claimed leaves the rest spread over fewer tickets, so the jackpot odds are better than on launch day. It does not make a win any closer: every ticket was a winner or not from the day it was printed, and some top prizes are sold but not cashed yet.
