VIP Millions — $50 Ohio Scratch-Off #1008
VIP Millions (#1008) is a $50 Ohio scratch-off launched on January 7, 2025. As of October 14, 2026 it ranks #1 of 69 active games on current payout (108.3%, $54.16 expected back per ticket) and #1 of 5 $50 games, #11 on any-prize odds (1 in 3.18) and #9 on top-prize odds (1 in 95,471). Since launch the payout has risen 18.2 points (90.1% at launch) and your chance of winning something has risen 26.5% (1 in 4.02 at launch). 4 of 50 top prizes of $1,000,000 ($40K/YR FOR 25 YRS) remain, and we estimate 381,884 tickets are still unsold (92.6% sold). That puts it among the best Ohio scratch-offs to buy right now. A caution on the current figures: the any-prize odds have moved from 1 in 4.02 to 1 in 3.18, further than a game's odds really move. Its prize tiers disagree about how many tickets are left (between 0.37 million and 0.51 million), usually because small prizes are claimed late, and the current odds and payout lean on that disagreement. The printed odds are the safer guide, and our summaries do not name this game the best of anything (how we estimate). Note: a payout above 100% means the unclaimed prizes are worth more than the remaining tickets cost. That is genuinely possible this far into a game's run, but it is also where our ticket-count estimate is weakest, so read it as "unusually rich", not as a guarantee (how we calculate this).
