Quick answers

Which state has the best $25 scratch-off odds right now?

As of Nov 5, 2026, Georgia's Super-sized Bucks Power 25X has the best printed overall odds of any $25 game in the 3 states we track — 1 in 2.34. The table above lists the leader in every state.

Why do $25 scratch-off odds differ from state to state?

Each state lottery designs its own games and decides how many prizes to print per ticket. The overall odds are printed on the ticket and never change after launch; what changes is how many prizes are left, which is the other column on this page.

Which $25 scratch-off should I buy?

Printed odds say how a game started; the prizes still left say what it is now. Pick your state above for every $25 game ranked, and the SmartScratcher app turns what is left today into a ticket value and a 0–100 score for each one, by our math.
