Stop Guessing.
Start Scratching Smarter.
The lottery data is public. Most players just don't know where to find it — or how to use it. ScratchBest does both, every single day.
The Scratch-Off Problem Nobody Talks About
Most people pick scratch-off tickets by gut feeling — lucky numbers, whatever looks good at the counter. Official lottery sources publish useful game facts such as prize structures, published odds, and remaining prize counts, although available fields and update timing vary by state. ScratchBest organizes the available public data and labels calculations separately from official source fields.
ScratchBest regularly refreshes that data and provides rankings that make games easier to compare. The calculations support comparison; they cannot predict an individual ticket.
⚙️ How We Rank Tickets
Remaining Prize Pools
Remaining prizes are evaluated in context with the original prize distribution and, where modeled, estimated remaining ticket inventory.
Ticket-to-Prize Ratios
Estimated remaining ticket inventory is a ScratchBest model output, not an official retailer inventory count.
Expected Value Scores
Starting and current expected-value calculations are comparison tools, not guarantees of profit.
Top Prize Availability
See the latest published count of remaining top prizes and the date of the source data.
The result: a leaderboard based on available source data and clearly identified ScratchBest calculations.
Who ScratchBest Is For
- ✓You buy scratch-offs regularly and want to stop wasting money on dead-end tickets
- ✓You love data and want to know why one ticket beats another, not just which one to pick
- ✓You want to filter by price point, prize tier, or state — and see the math behind it
- ✓You're tired of buying a ticket only to find out the top prizes were claimed months ago
ScratchBest won't make scratch-offs a guaranteed profit. But if you're playing anyway, you might as well use the data.
Why This Was Built
This started as a personal frustration. After reading about groups who applied statistical analysis to lottery games and walked away with real profits, the question became obvious: why isn't this data organized somewhere useful?
State lottery sites technically have the info — but it's scattered across dozens of game pages, refreshed inconsistently, and completely unranked. Useful data made useless by poor presentation. So we built the tool that should have already existed.
