Chance of Any Prize

Unavailable

The lottery reports don’t give us enough reliable information to show this number.

What does this mean?

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

    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.

    The current claimed-plus-unclaimed counts differ from the original rule PDF for one or more prizes; current inventory estimates cannot combine these print cohorts.

    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

    See how the numbers have changed

    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.
