Some prizes, such as lifetime payments or free tickets, don’t have a confirmed cash value. We can’t show a full average payout.

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.

Why we can’t show it: Some prizes, such as lifetime payments or free tickets, don’t have a confirmed cash value. We can’t show a full average payout.

Return vs. ticket price, without the jackpot: Unavailable

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.

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
  • The complete original winning-prize counts and published overall odds describe one unchanged print cohort.
  • 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.

What goes into this estimate

Uses the complete prize table and changes in prize counts.

Original prize table: complete. Remaining prize table: complete.

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

Our estimate

A separate look at free-ticket prizes

This scenario counts a free ticket at its spending value. A free ticket is not cash. These figures stay separate from cash payouts and comparisons.

Include ticket face value
Average spending value per ticket
$3.61
Spending value per $1 spent
$0.72
Chance of value above ticket cost
12.9%
Original spending value per ticket
$3.61

Value above ticket cost includes assumed free-ticket value. It is not the chance of making a cash profit.

Free-ticket values and assumptions
  • TICKET: assumed spending value $5.00.

A ticket prize is valued at its published face amount, or the same game’s ticket price when the source only says Ticket or Free Ticket. This estimates spending value; a ticket prize is not cash income.

Profit probability in this scenario treats assumed ticket spending value as a return and is not the chance of a cash profit.

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.

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.
