Which state has the best $30 scratch-off odds?
It varies by state and changes as prizes are claimed. Pick your state above to see its current #1 ranked $30 game. We rank every active $30 scratcher by a composite score built from return rate, remaining prize pool, and prize distribution, updated daily.
Are $30 scratch-off tickets worth buying?
The best $30 scratchers return meaningfully more per dollar than the worst, and the gap is often large. By checking remaining prize data before you buy, you can consistently pick the better games. Our rankings show which $30 tickets still have the most prize value left.
How often are these $30 rankings updated?
Daily. We pull the latest remaining-prize data from each state lottery and recompute every game's score, so a $30 game that was #1 last week may have dropped as its top prizes get claimed.
