Scratch-off odds by state: FAQ
＋ － Which state has the best scratch-off odds?
Overall odds are set per game, not per state, but among the states PrizesLeft tracks, the single best published overall odds right now is 1 in 2.82. Better than comparing states is checking a specific game's remaining top prizes, which is what Heat Score does.
＋ － Do scratch-off odds differ between states?
Yes. Each state runs its own games with its own prize structures and payout percentages, so a $5 game in one state can have very different odds and remaining prizes than a $5 game in another. Always look at the specific game.
＋ － How current is this comparison?
PrizesLeft refreshes each state's remaining-prize data daily from official lottery sources. The counts here reflect the latest crawl.
