Welcome to Michigan, Maryland, Washington, South Carolina, Virginia, Missouri — and everyone else just joining. The app does the math; this is how to read it. Five moves, five minutes, and the scratcher case at your corner store stops being a mystery.
Tap the state selector up top and choose yours. Everything in the app — every list, every score, every prize count — instantly switches to your state’s games. That’s it. That’s the setup.
Every game gets one number, 0 to 100, built from what’s actually left in it today — remaining prizes, estimated tickets left, current value. The list opens ranked. The top of the list is the point of the app.
The pepper-and-flame icons are the fast read: a game running hot still has its good prizes in play. A cold one has been picked over — but it’s still sitting in the case, still selling, still taking money. Now you know which is which before you pay.
If you’re a $5 player, tap the $5 chip and compare $5 games against $5 games. A great $5 ticket and a mediocre $20 ticket are different questions — the filters keep you comparing apples to apples.
Tap the heart on games you actually buy. Then check back each morning — the data refreshes daily, and each game’s Daily Deep Dive tells you what changed overnight in plain English. Yesterday’s smart pick isn’t automatically today’s.
Every active game gets a single ranking based on prizes remaining, estimated tickets left, and overall value. No math required.
At-a-glance signals for which games are heating up (good prizes still in play) and which are running cold (drained out, but still selling).
The estimated return per ticket at the game's current state — not the launch state. Because that number changes every single day.
The app pulls fresh prize data from each state lottery every day. Wake up, check the app, see what changed.
Free to download. Premium features include a 3-day free trial. If you've already got the app, just hit the state selector — the new ones are right there.
