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

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

Unavailable

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

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.

Why we can’t show it: The lottery reports don’t give us enough reliable information to show this number.

Our estimate

Chance of Any Prize

Unavailable

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

What does this mean?
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.

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.

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.

Minnesota publishes remaining counts for prizes of $500 and up; unpublished lower-tier remaining counts remain null.

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.

Estimated average payout Last update of each day · Central Time
No daily comparison

We need more daily numbers to chart estimated average payout. At least two days with available values are needed.
