Odds and prize counts come from each state lottery's official data, refreshed every morning — newest update Nov 5, 2026.
As of Nov 5, 2026, Georgia's Lucky 7s has the best printed overall odds of any $5 game in the 19 states we track — 1 in 2.94. The table above lists the leader in every 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.
Printed odds say how a game started; the prizes still left say what it is now. Pick your state above for every $5 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.
Prize counts come straight from each state lottery's official data, last refreshed on Nov 5, 2026. SmartScratcher updates every morning.
Prize counts are just the start. SmartScratcher turns them into a ticket value, a 0–100 score, and a straight answer for every game — so you skip the picked-clean ones and play the good ones.
