Terms of Use
Effective date: September 3, 2026
These Terms of Use govern access to and use of scratchoddsusa.com. By using the site, you agree to these terms. If you do not agree, please do not use the site.
Independent informational service
ScratchOdds USA is an independent information and comparison website. We are not affiliated with, sponsored by or endorsed by any state lottery, government agency, ticket retailer or game operator. We do not sell tickets, accept wagers, process claims or provide a way to play the lottery online.
Lottery names, logos, game names and related trademarks belong to their respective owners. References are used to identify and discuss publicly available games and data.
Adults and lawful use
The site is intended for adults. Lottery age requirements and rules vary by jurisdiction. You are responsible for following the laws and official lottery rules that apply where you live or purchase a ticket.
No guarantee of winning
Scratch-off tickets are games of chance. No ranking, score, odds figure, remaining-prize count, retailer, ticket number or strategy can guarantee a winning ticket. The ScratchOdds Score is a comparison method based on published inputs; it is not a prediction, financial advice or recommendation to spend money.
Published overall odds usually describe the original game design. Remaining-prize counts are time-sensitive snapshots and do not reveal the number or location of all unsold tickets. Read our methodology before relying on a comparison.
Accuracy and official sources
We aim to present public lottery information accurately and show when it was updated. However, sources may change, updates may be delayed and technical or human errors may occur. We do not warrant that every figure is complete, current or error-free.
The issuing lottery is the final authority for game status, prize availability, rules, ticket validation, claim deadlines and payments. Always verify important information on the official lottery website before acting on it.
Responsible use
Use the site for general information and comparison. Set a budget, never spend money needed for essentials and do not chase losses. If gambling is causing harm or feels difficult to control, stop and seek help through an appropriate responsible-gambling service.
Acceptable use
You may view and use the site for personal, lawful purposes. You may not:
- Attempt to disrupt, damage or gain unauthorized access to the site or its systems.
- Use automated requests in a way that imposes an unreasonable load or bypasses access controls.
- Misrepresent site content as official lottery information or as your own service.
- Use the site to facilitate unlawful gambling, fraud, abuse or deceptive claims.
- Copy, republish or commercially exploit substantial original site content except as permitted by law or written permission.
External links and advertising
The site links to official lotteries and other third-party services. We do not control their availability, content, privacy practices or terms. A link does not necessarily imply endorsement. Advertisements will be distinguishable from editorial content and do not influence the ScratchOdds Score.
Intellectual property
Except for third-party names, marks and source data, the site's original text, structure, scoring explanation, design and branding are owned by or licensed to ScratchOdds USA and are protected by applicable law. Limited quotation and linking are permitted where allowed by law and with appropriate attribution.
Disclaimers
To the fullest extent permitted by law, the site is provided “as is” and “as available,” without warranties of any kind, express or implied. We do not promise uninterrupted access, a particular search ranking, financial results, or any lottery outcome.
Limitation of liability
To the fullest extent permitted by applicable law, ScratchOdds USA and its operators will not be liable for indirect, incidental, special, consequential or punitive damages, or for losses arising from reliance on site information, ticket purchases, third-party services, interrupted access or unauthorized use. Some jurisdictions do not allow certain exclusions, so parts of this limitation may not apply to you.
Changes and availability
We may update these terms, change site features, correct content or suspend access when reasonably necessary. The effective date above identifies the latest version. Continued use after an update means you accept the revised terms to the extent permitted by law.
