ScratchBest Data Sources & Update Status
ScratchBest organizes published scratch-off information from official state lottery sources. This page shows the data through date, collection status, and source for every state we support.
State update status
Data through = the latest imported ScratchBest game snapshot. It is separate from collector status.

What “updated” means
“Current” means ScratchBest has accepted the latest source information under that state’s collection method. It does not mean real-time ticket sales or retailer inventory. Some lotteries publish changes daily; others publish an updated source version on their own schedule.
Official data vs. ScratchBest calculations
Game facts, published starting odds, and reported remaining prizes come from lottery sources. Rankings, estimated remaining ticket inventory, and Current Expected Value are ScratchBest calculations based on the latest available source data.
Why source dates differ by state
Each lottery controls what it publishes and when. Data through is the latest imported ScratchBest game snapshot for that state; it does not represent real-time source freshness or retailer inventory.
Retailer inventory is not known
ScratchBest cannot see which tickets are stocked or sold at a particular retailer. Estimated remaining-ticket figures are model outputs, not official inventory counts. Read the methodology for calculation details.
