🔒 This is the day-one ranking. The app re-ranks every Illinois game each morning by what's actually left — ticket value, the SmartScratcher Score, and a straight buy-or-skip answer. Get the app.

Odds and prize counts come from official Illinois Lottery data, refreshed every morning — last update Oct 18, 2026.

Why "best odds" isn't the whole story

Every number in the ranking above was printed before a single ticket was sold. From that moment on, the game only moves in one direction: tickets get scratched, prizes come off the board, and the odds on the back of the ticket never update to say so. A game can advertise great odds for months after the prizes that made it worth playing are gone.

Exhibit A

$2,000,000 Diamond Deluxe sits at #9 of 52 in this ranking, still advertising overall odds of 1 in 3.55. But all 3 top prizes of $1,200,000 have been claimed — the biggest reason to play it no longer exists, and the printed odds will never mention that.

Right now, 5 of the 52 games in this ranking have already lost every top prize.

Printed odds are half the story. SmartScratcher does the other half: it takes the prizes still on the board today and turns them into a ticket value, a 0–100 score, and a fresh ranking for Illinois every single morning — see today's real ranking in the app.

Quick answers

Which Illinois scratcher has the best odds right now?

As of Oct 18, 2026, $1,000,000 Crossword 50X has the best printed overall odds of any active Illinois scratch-off — 1 in 2.96, on a $25 ticket. The full ranking above covers every active game.

What do overall odds like "1 in 2.96" actually mean?

It means that when the game launched, about 1 in every 2.96 tickets was a winner of some prize — counting every tier, including free tickets and prizes that just win your money back. It is not the chance of hitting a big prize; top-prize odds are far longer.

Do the odds change after a game launches?

The printed number never changes — it describes the game on day one, before anyone scratched anything. The reality changes every day as tickets sell and prizes get claimed. A game can keep advertising great odds long after its biggest prizes are gone, which is why this page shows live top-prize counts next to every ranking.

How is this ranking different from the SmartScratcher app?

This page ranks Illinois games by one public number: the overall odds printed at launch. The app starts where that number stops — it uses the prizes actually left today to work out each game's current ticket value and a 0–100 score, then re-ranks every game every morning. Printed odds tell you how a game started; the app tells you what it's worth now.

These numbers tell you what's left.
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.
