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.

PrizeGauge estimate

A minus sign means the estimated average payout is below the ticket cost. It does not predict the result of one ticket.

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.

PrizeGauge estimate

Chance of coming out ahead

11.6%

Estimated chance of a prize worth more than the ticket price. Getting your ticket cost back does not count.

PrizeGauge estimate

Payout without the jackpot

$2.67

For a $5 ticket, the estimated average payout is $2.67 when the $100,000 top prize is treated as $0.

Return vs. ticket price, without the jackpot: -46.5%

<$0.01 highervs Oct 22, 2026

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.

Compare the price and average payouts

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.

How this estimate was made

Launch basis: official initial structure. Inventory basis: official initial structure.

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

Model assumptions

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.

Tickets ordered is an explicitly published original ticket population, not current tickets remaining. Unclaimed prizes do not establish unsold ticket inventory.

Original overall odds are published as game-inception odds; collection time does not establish a new official report.

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.

A gap means we don’t have a number

We keep the last update of each day, using Eastern 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.
