About Rhode Island instant games

Rhode Island sells Instant Games — its own name for scratch tickets — in price points from $1 to $50, and the Rhode Island Lottery publishes, for every game, how many prizes of each level it started with, how many have been paid, and how many tickets were printed. Those come from rilot.com. Because Rhode Island publishes the print run, the odds of every prize level here are exact — tickets printed divided by prizes at that level — rather than estimated. Rhode Island's own feed lists the same prize amount several times when it can be won several ways (three separate "$10" rows on one $2 game); here each amount is one prize level, which is how a ticket pays it. The method is on our methodology page.

Two things about Rhode Island's figures are worth knowing. The "overall odds" figure in its feed does not describe the games — it reads 1 in 1.56 on a game where one ticket in 4.4 wins — so the overall odds shown here are the ones the prize table itself implies. And one game, Wild Money, pays a quick pick for the Wild Money draw game on most of its tickets; that is not cash and its value is not published, so it is left out of that game's odds and payout, which are therefore understated rather than flattering.

Where to buy: licensed retailers across Rhode Island, typically convenience stores, grocery stores and gas stations. Prizes under $600 can be claimed at any Lottery retailer or at Lottery headquarters at 1425 Pontiac Avenue in Cranston. Prizes of $600 and over are claimed through Lottery headquarters, with a valid government-issued photo ID and your Social Security number. Instant Game prizes can be claimed for up to one year after the announced end of the game, and once Rhode Island announces an end you will find the last day to claim on that game's page here.

Tax: a lottery prize is taxable income, and Rhode Island withholds state and federal tax as the law requires — federal withholding is 24% on prizes over $5,000. Withholding is not the same as what you finally owe, which depends on your total income for the year. For anything large enough to change your tax bracket, talk to an accountant before you claim.

A word on what these numbers can and cannot do. Instant Game outcomes are fixed when the tickets are printed; nothing you read here changes the ticket in your hand. What the data does tell you is which games currently return more of each dollar to players and which still have their big prizes outstanding. Over many tickets that is a real difference in how much you lose. It is never an edge: every Rhode Island Instant Game returns less than it costs, by design.
