🔒 This is the day-one ranking. The app re-ranks every $5 Ohio 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 Ohio Lottery data, refreshed every morning — last update Nov 5, 2026.

What the printed odds don't say

Every number in the ranking above was printed before a single ticket was sold. From then on, tickets get scratched, prizes come off the board, and the odds on the back of the ticket never update to say so.

Still on sale, top prize gone

Joker's Wild — 1 of the 14 $5 games in this ranking has already lost every top prize. The printed odds on that ticket will never mention it.

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 of every $5 Ohio game each morning — see today's real ranking in the app.

Quick answers

Which $5 Ohio scratch-off has the best odds right now?

As of Nov 5, 2026, Bingo Times 25 has the best printed overall odds of any active $5 Ohio scratch-off — 1 in 3.52. It still has 5 of its 12 top prizes of $100,000 unclaimed.

How many $5 scratch-offs does Ohio have?

Ohio has 14 active $5 games with published odds as of Nov 5, 2026, all ranked on this page.

Which $5 Ohio scratch-offs have already lost their top prize?

Joker's Wild. It is still on sale, and the printed odds have not changed, but the biggest prize on the ticket can no longer be won. The table above marks it.

Is the $5 game with the best odds the best $5 ticket to buy?

Not always. The printed odds describe the game on the day it launched. What matters at the counter is what is still left today — how many top prizes remain, and how much of the game has already sold. This page shows both for every $5 Ohio game. The SmartScratcher app goes one step further: it turns today's remaining prizes into a ticket value and a 0–100 score for each game, by our math, and re-ranks them every morning.

How fresh is this data?

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