Our estimate

Average payout

$7.20

Across lots of tickets, we estimate an average of $7.20 back for each $10 ticket.

$0.72 back per $1 spent · -$2.80 after the ticket cost

Prize pool changed
What does this mean?
Think of a big pile of tickets: this is the prize money per ticket on average. It doesn’t tell you what your next ticket will pay.
Our estimate

Payout without the jackpot

$6.46

For a $10 ticket, the estimated average payout is $6.46 when the $100,000 top prize is treated as $0.

Return vs. ticket price, without the jackpot: -35.4%

Prize pool changed
What does this mean?
Big jackpots can make a ticket's average look much better even though winning one is extremely unlikely. This number shows its estimated value if the biggest prize pays $0.

This estimates the chance that a remaining ticket has any published prize. A winning ticket may only break even, so this is not your chance of making money.

Worked out from the lottery’s own numbers.

Our estimate

Our best estimate, using data and assumptions we explain.

Average payout
Think of a big pile of tickets: this is the prize money per ticket on average. It doesn’t tell you what your next ticket will pay.
Return vs. ticket price
How the estimated average payout stacks up against what you spend. A minus sign means the average payout is less than the ticket price.
Payout without the jackpot
Big jackpots can make a ticket's average look much better even though winning one is extremely unlikely. This number shows its estimated value if the biggest prize pays $0.
Chance of Any Prize
This estimates the chance that a remaining ticket has any published prize. A winning ticket may only break even, so this is not your chance of making money.
Top Prizes Left
How many of the game's biggest prizes the lottery says are still unclaimed. This does not establish whether tickets are still for sale.
Estimated Tickets Left
Our estimate of how many tickets may remain. The lottery does not publish this exact number, and sold but unclaimed tickets can affect it.
How reliable is the estimate?
How much trust to put in the estimate. It is not your chance of winning. Unknown means we don’t have a rating.
What does this mean?
Each ticket is a gamble. Better-looking numbers don’t promise a winning ticket.

Model assumptions
  • At least two tiers with 500 or more original prizes estimate remaining ticket inventory, weighted by original prize count; prize claims can lag ticket sales.
  • Missing remaining tier counts are estimated from that tier’s original count and the common remaining fraction; these estimates are separate from official counts.

What goes into this estimate

Uses a partial prize table. Missing rows need extra assumptions.

Original prize table: complete. Remaining prize table: partial or unavailable.

Iowa publishes claimed and unclaimed counts for prizes of $50 and up. Lower-prize remaining counts are unavailable.

Original prize counts, original odds and approximate printed-ticket population come from the linked official game-rules PDF; current claimed and unclaimed counts remain separate observations.

See calculated counts and prize-value assumptions

These are the model’s inputs. A calculated or estimated count is separate from the literal count in the prize table.

About the estimates

Methodology & source

Each lottery publishes different information. We use the available game data and stated assumptions to estimate average payouts and tickets left. An unclaimed prize count is not a count of tickets still for sale.

Published prize observations stay separate from estimates. The model uses this game's reported coverage, ticket inventory and count assumptions; unavailable values retain their source explanations.

Game history

A gap means we don’t have a number

We keep the last update of each day, using Central Time. If a day has no number, we leave a gap. We don’t fill in guesses.

Past numbers include calculations from archived prize reports. This covers the dates we have collected. 7-day change: insufficient history. 30-day change: insufficient history.
