About ScratchOdds USA
ScratchOdds USA is an independent information and comparison website for US scratch-off lottery games. We organize public data from official state lotteries so readers can review ticket prices, published odds and remaining prizes in a clear, consistent format.
We are not a lottery operator, retailer, ticket seller or government agency. We do not sell scratch-off tickets, process claims or know where winning tickets are located. Lottery names, game names and trademarks belong to their respective owners.
What ScratchOdds USA does
- Collects publicly available game information from official state lottery sources.
- Creates individual pages with ticket price, overall odds, top prizes and complete prize tiers when available.
- Records when the data was last updated and links back to the official source.
- Organizes games by state, price, release timing and remaining-prize information.
- Provides a transparent comparison score with published weights and clear limitations.
- Connects state hubs, comparison guides and individual game pages so readers can explore related information easily.
Why we built it
Official lottery websites are the authoritative source, but each state presents its information differently. One state may use a table, another may use individual game cards, and update dates are not always shown in the same place. ScratchOdds USA makes those public facts easier to scan while preserving links to the original source.
Our goal is not to encourage more spending. It is to make the available information easier to understand for adults who already choose to look at scratch-off games.
Our editorial principles
Official sources first
Game facts are traced to the issuing state lottery. Individual pages display a source link and update date whenever the source provides usable information.
Dates and context matter
Remaining prizes are time-sensitive. We show when data was checked and explain that published overall odds are generally original game odds, not a calculation based on every ticket currently unsold.
Transparent comparisons
The ScratchOdds Score uses visible inputs and documented weights. Readers can inspect the underlying price, odds and top-prize counts instead of relying on an unexplained label. See the full ScratchOdds USA methodology.
No guaranteed-win claims
Scratch-offs are random games of chance. We do not claim that a score, prize count, retailer, ticket number or buying strategy can guarantee a win. The word “best” describes a structured comparison, not a promise of profit or a prediction about the next ticket.
How the site is funded
ScratchOdds USA plans to earn revenue from clearly identified advertising. Advertising does not influence the ScratchOdds Score, the underlying lottery data or our explanation of a game. We do not accept payment to improve a ticket's ranking.
Information about cookies, advertising technologies and privacy choices will be provided in our Privacy Policy and Cookie Policy.
Data ownership and accuracy
Lottery game information may be changed or corrected by the issuing lottery. We aim to reproduce public facts accurately, but delays, source changes and human or technical errors can occur. The official state lottery remains the final authority for game rules, prize availability, deadlines, validation and claims.
References to a lottery or game do not imply sponsorship, endorsement or affiliation. All third-party marks are used only to identify the relevant state, lottery or game.
Responsible play
Only adults who meet the legal age requirement in their jurisdiction should play. Set a budget before buying tickets, never use money needed for essentials and do not chase losses. If lottery play stops being entertainment or feels difficult to control, pause and seek help through your state lottery's responsible-play resources or a recognized problem-gambling support service.
Corrections and contact
Accuracy improves when readers flag discrepancies. If you find a value that does not match the official lottery page, contact us with the state, game name, source link and a short description of the issue. We will review confirmed errors and update the page when appropriate.
