How Are These Numbers Calculated for Scratch-Off Games?

The odds and statistics for 's scratch-off games are based on official lottery data, processed through advanced statistical models. These insights help players understand their chances of winning in 's scratch-off games. Here's how each key metric is determined:

• Starting Odds: These are the official odds provided by the lottery at the scratch-off game's launch. They indicate the probability of winning any prize when all tickets are still in circulation.
• Estimated % Tickets Remaining: The lottery does not disclose the exact number of remaining scratch-off tickets, so we estimate this figure based on the number of claimed prizes compared to the game's original prize structure. For instance, if a game started with 10 million scratch-off tickets and half of the top prizes are gone, we estimate that about 50% of the scratch-off tickets have been sold.
• Odds to Win $100/$1,000/$10,000 or More: These odds reflect the likelihood of winning higher-tier prizes in scratch-off games. We calculate them by summing the probabilities of all applicable prize amounts using the current odds.
• Odds to Win the Grand Prize: This metric represents the probability of winning the game's largest prize, adjusted for estimated remaining tickets and updated odds.

By analyzing these factors, you can make informed decisions about which scratch-off games might offer better chances of winning based on remaining prizes and estimated ticket sales.
