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.

What does this mean?

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.

PrizeGauge 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.
Chance of coming out ahead
The estimated chance of a prize worth more than the ticket price. Getting your ticket cost back does not count.
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.

Unclaimed prizes by prize amount

These bars show the share of original prizes still unclaimed. They are not your chance of winning. Some unclaimed prizes may already be on sold tickets.

Model assumptions

    What goes into this estimate

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

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

    Original game notice on page 28 of the official consolidated-odds catalog. This archived publication is not a current active-game list or remaining-prize report; sale status, current counts and current models are unavailable.

    Only the explicitly printed game identity, ticket price and original overall odds are extracted. Original prize-table completeness, printed ticket inventory and an exact official report day are not inferred.

    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 preserve the estimates published on each day. This covers the dates we have collected. 7-day change: insufficient history. 30-day change: insufficient history.

    Periods end on the latest recorded day, which may be earlier than today.
