Frequently Asked Questions

Which Illinois scratch-off has the best odds right now?
Right now, the top-ranked game is HOLIDAY CA$H ($1), returning 66¢ per dollar and ranked #1 overall. Rankings change daily as prizes get claimed, so always check before you buy.
How do I know which instant tickets to avoid?
Check our Instant tickets to Avoid section. Right now 0 of Illinois's active games return less than 60 cents per dollar and 5 have no top prizes left. Those are the first tickets to skip, because your money goes further in almost any other game on this page.
How often is the Illinois scratch-off data updated?
We pull new data from the Illinois Lottery every night, and the lottery publishes updated prize counts daily. Rankings, scores, and remaining prize counts refresh automatically. Signed-in members, free and paid, see the newest data; without an account the tables show an older snapshot.
What prizes can you cash at a Illinois retailer?
Retailers in Illinois can pay prizes up to $600. Anything bigger is claimed directly from the lottery, and those wins can take longer to appear in the published prize counts. That lag is one reason remaining-prize numbers are worth checking before you buy.
Which Illinois instant tickets still have top prizes remaining?
Several Illinois games still have a high percentage of top prizes unclaimed: HOLIDAY CA$H (175 of 175 left, 100%), REINDEER RICHES (4 of 4 left, 100%), ADD IT UP (4 of 4 left, 100%). Games with more remaining top prizes give you a better shot at the biggest payouts. Check our Top Prizes Remaining section above for the full list, updated daily.
