About 480,000 tickets printed originally, according to the lottery.
Tickets left are an estimate. Unclaimed prizes don’t tell us exactly how many tickets are still for sale.
We use lottery data to estimate average payouts and tickets left. These are estimates, not promises about your next ticket. See how we work it out →

A smaller “1 in” number means a higher chance. Any prize includes prizes that only return the ticket cost. Original odds may be rounded; current values are estimates, not guaranteed outcomes.
Here’s how the ticket price compares with the average prize payout we estimate. Your ticket could pay more, less, or nothing.

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

About the estimates
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.
How we work it out →Game history
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.
We need more daily numbers to chart estimated average payout. At least two days with available values are needed.
