There are also plenty of picked-over ones still for sale months after their top prizes were claimed. Our daily ranking of every active $10 game in 36 states sorts one from the other.

Why are $10 scratch-offs so popular?
$10 tickets hit the sweet spot: they typically offer top prizes between $250,000 and $2 million, better overall odds than cheaper tickets, and the cost is still manageable for casual players. Most state lotteries have more $10 games in circulation than any other price point.
Which $10 scratch-off has the best odds right now?
Check the table above for the current #1 ranked $10 game in your state. Rankings change frequently as prizes are claimed, so a game that was #1 last week might have dropped. Our data updates daily to reflect the latest prize availability from each state lottery.
Are $10 scratch-offs worth the money?
The best $10 scratch-offs typically return 65-75 cents per dollar, which is comparable to or better than other price points. But the worst $10 games can return much less. By checking which games still have top prizes available, you can avoid games that are past their prime and stick with the highest-value options.
