Behind the estimates
New York Lottery publishes remaining prize counts but does not generally publish the exact number of unsold tickets. PrizeGauge estimates remaining inventory using published game information and observed prize depletion.
Pretax launch EV uses verified official original counts and printed tickets where available, otherwise published inception odds. Current EV uses backend-estimated remaining inventory and complete daily cash prize tables. Unknown prize values suppress EV.
Understand our methodology →A look back
We keep the last update of each day, using New York time. If a day has no number, we leave a gap. We don’t fill in guesses.
Past numbers use the current calculation method. 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.
