Compare returns and winning chances across states

State summaries compare expected return, any-prize chance, profit chance and top-prize availability.

Applies to: Arizona, California, Colorado, Connecticut, District of Columbia, Florida, Iowa, Idaho, Indiana, Kansas, Kentucky, Louisiana, Massachusetts, Maryland, Maine, Michigan, Minnesota, Missouri, Nebraska, New Jersey, New Mexico, New York, Ohio, Oregon, South Dakota, Texas, Virginia, Vermont, Washington, Wisconsin, West Virginia

State summaries include available games, ticket-price groups, data coverage and freshness. Expected return per dollar, net return per ticket and the chance of a prize describe different outcomes. Comparisons use compatible estimates at matching ticket prices; missing or stale values remain visible. Catalog averages describe the games we observe, not a sales-weighted statewide return or a guarantee of winning.
