Fast Play tickets print right at the counter. No scratching, you know on the spot. Behind the scenes each game is a set pool of tickets with a set number of prizes, just like a scratcher. We track what's left in every pool and score each game from 0 to 100.
3 of the 19 games have a jackpot that grows as tickets sell and starts over when somebody hits it. Each jackpot belongs to one game.
The small line on each card shows how that jackpot has grown since we started tracking it. When somebody wins a jackpot, it starts over at its starting amount. The odds on each card are for one ticket, today.
Longer bar, more money back on average. Each bar is an average across every ticket left in that game. It is not what one ticket pays.
Blue is the part of that average that sits in regular prizes. Gold is the part tied up in the jackpot. A lot of gold means much of the game's value depends on a few jackpot tickets.
A ticket that wins the jackpot pays the whole jackpot, far more than any bar here. Nearly every other ticket gets none of the gold part. Where a game has several jackpot tickets left, one is counted at today's jackpot and the rest at the amount the jackpot starts over at.
Scratchers have the bigger top prize at every price. Fast Play gives one ticket the better odds of winning the top prize on $1 and $2 tickets. Scratchers give one ticket the better odds of winning the top prize on $5, $10 and $20 tickets. The typical Fast Play game pays back more than the typical scratcher on $1, $2 and $5 tickets. The two pay back about the same on $10 and $20 tickets.

The highlighted side is the better one at that price. "Biggest prize" is the biggest Fast Play prize still unclaimed (a jackpot, where the game has one) next to the biggest scratcher top prize nobody has claimed yet. "Best odds" is the game on each side that gives one ticket the best odds at its top prize. "Money back per $1" is the game in the middle on each side, with the lowest and highest game underneath. The scratcher numbers cover every Kansas scratcher on sale at that price. Which scratcher is the best one is in the app.

"Money back per $1" is the average across every ticket still unsold, jackpot included. Most single tickets pay less than that, and a few pay far more. Tap any game for the full breakdown.
Fast Play games are sold at Kansas Lottery retailers and print from the lottery terminal when you buy one. There's nothing to scratch and no drawing to wait for. The ticket shows right away whether it's a winner.
No. Each game is a set pool of tickets with a set number of prizes at every level, the same way a scratcher is. The lottery publishes how many prizes are left, and that's what lets us work out what a ticket is worth today.
No. Some games have a progressive jackpot that grows as tickets sell and starts over when somebody wins it. The rest have a fixed top prize. The "Top prize" column marks which is which.
No. In Kansas each progressive game has its own jackpot, fed only by its own ticket sales. Each game also has its own pool of tickets, so the odds of winning the top prize are different from game to game.
It depends on the price. The "Fast Play or a scratcher?" table on this page compares the two at every ticket price, using today's numbers for both.
It's the same 0 to 100 SmartScratcher Score the app uses for scratchers. Most of it comes from how much a game pays back per dollar. The rest comes from how many top prizes are left and whether the odds have gotten better or worse since the game started.
Twice a day, in the morning and again in the late afternoon. The jackpots keep growing in between, so the amount at the counter may be a little higher.
Not yet. We're testing it here first, and it's free while we do. The app covers scratch-offs today.
Fast Play is a free beta here on the site. In the SmartScratcher app you get the same scores, ticket values and rankings for scratch-offs in 19 states, refreshed every morning.
