Comparison tools
ScratchBest Decision Lab
Compare games side by side, see which games fit a neutral comparison budget, and explore equal-dollar statistical outcomes. Current EV and remaining top prizes describe current public data; published overall odds and starting payout describe the game at launch.
Budget Explorer
Choose the metric you care about and see how many tickets a fixed dollar amount represents, including actual comparison spend and leftover—not a suggestion to spend.
Select a state to load its current public game catalog. ScratchBest will not silently choose one for you.
How the simulations differ
Published Odds uses each lottery's original published prize odds and runs in your browser. Current ScratchBest is available with a free account and uses ScratchBest's estimated statewide remaining inventory securely on the server.
Equal-budget simulations are statistical examples. A retailer or pack is not equivalent to random statewide sampling. Results do not predict future tickets. Lottery games remain games of chance.
