New Scratch Games in Wisconsin (October 2026)
As of October 14, 2026, 16 Wisconsin scratch games are new: 16 launched or first listed in the last 90 days. Newest first: 500 HOLIDAY CASH ($5, top prize $500).
No payout figure, on purpose. Wisconsin publishes only the top prize of each game, with how many were printed and how many are left. A payout, an expected value or the odds today each need every prize level and how many were printed, so for Wisconsin we show exactly what its lottery publishes and compute nothing from it. A figure built from part of a table would be wrong, not rough: it is how one state's partial table produced games that appeared to pay back more than they cost. How we treat partial prize tables.

"Flagged new" is Wisconsin's own label on its prizes-remaining list. "First listed" is the day a game first appeared in that list, which we have read since October 14, 2026; a game already there on our first day is not dated at all rather than given our date. Top prizes left and overall odds are Wisconsin's figures, unchanged.
What to expect from a new game
A game on its launch day has every prize unclaimed, so its top prizes are all still in play — the one thing that is certain about a new release and not about an old one. Beyond that a new game is neither a bargain nor a trap: its overall odds are printed on the ticket and do not change, and what a ticket is worth cannot be read from Wisconsin's figures: Wisconsin publishes only the top prize of each game, with how many were printed and how many are left.
Watch the top-prize count over the first weeks. A top prize claimed early is the most common way a new game loses its appeal for a jackpot hunter, and it shows up on the game's page here the day Wisconsin publishes it.
New Wisconsin scratch games: common questions

- Usually most of them, but not always: a big prize can be claimed in a game's first week. The counts below are Wisconsin's own, as of October 14, 2026.
- Why is there no payout for new Wisconsin games?
- Wisconsin publishes only the top prize of each game, with how many were printed and how many are left. A payout cannot be computed from that, for a new game or an old one.
