North Carolina scratch-offs by prize size: common questions

Which North Carolina scratch-off has the best odds of winning $1,000 or more?
For the money, Extreme Money Blowout ($20): 1 in 781.8 wins $1,000+ as of October 25, 2026. On a single ticket, Massive Cash Blowout ($30) does better, 1 in 776.3, 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 3 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 North Carolina scratch-off?
As good as 1 in 4.02 on $8 Million Supreme ($50), and 1 in 94.6 on a typical game. Those are today's odds, from the prizes still left, not the ones printed at launch.
Which North Carolina scratch-off gives the best chance of winning $1 million or more?
$1,000,000 Bonus Match ($10), both per ticket and for the money: 1 in 365,393 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. Extreme Money Blowout ($20): 1 in 781.8 wins $1,000+. Jungle Cashword ($5): 1 in 52,394. In North Carolina today the pricier ticket wins per dollar too: about $15,636 per win against $261,971.
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".
