🔒 Popular isn't the same as worth it. Sales say what people are buying. The app weighs the prizes still on the board against what's left to sell, and gives each California game a 0–100 score and a straight buy-or-skip answer. Get the app.

Estimates, by our count: the drop in unclaimed prizes times each game's printed odds, averaged over the last four complete weeks (fewer for a young game). Pace compares those weeks with the four before. Prizes are counted when they are claimed, so a busy week shows up a few days late. 4 games with under three weeks of history are not ranked yet. Last update Nov 5, 2026.

Quick answers

What is the best-selling scratch-off in California?

By our count, Mystery Crossword (a $10 ticket) is bringing in the most money: about 1,300,000 tickets a week over the last 4 weeks, roughly $12.7M a week, as of Nov 5, 2026. That is an estimate from prizes claimed times the game's printed odds.

Is the best-selling game the best one to buy?

Not necessarily. Sales say what people are buying, not what is left on the board. A game can sell fast because of its name, its price, or because it just launched. The SmartScratcher app weighs the prizes still unclaimed against what is left to sell and scores every California game 0 to 100 each morning, by our math.

How does SmartScratcher estimate sales?

The California Lottery publishes how many prizes are still unclaimed at every prize level. The drop from one day to the next, times the overall odds printed on the ticket, is our estimate of tickets sold. Prizes are counted when they are claimed, so a busy week shows up a few days late, and the numbers here are a pace, not a sales report.

Why are some California scratchers missing from this ranking?

4 active games have less than three weeks of tracked sales, usually because they just launched. They will show up here after a few more weeks.

How fresh is this data?

Prize counts come straight from official California lottery data, last refreshed on Nov 5, 2026. SmartScratcher updates every morning.

The app tells you what's worth it.

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.
