Are $30 scratch-offs worth the money?
A $30 game is only worth it while its major prizes are still in play. These games sell slowly, so more than at any cheaper tier, a ticket can look brand new while the jackpots are long gone. The rankings above are refreshed daily for exactly that reason.
Which $30 scratch-off has the best odds?
Your state's top-ranked $30 game is first in the table above. Check the remaining top prizes column alongside the return rate; at this price both numbers have to look good.
What are the odds of winning on a $30 scratcher?
Published overall odds on $30 games are usually among the best on the shelf, often in the neighborhood of 1 in 3 of winning something. Most of those wins are small, and the printed odds never change as tickets sell, which is why remaining-prize data is the number to watch.
