* The top prize is paid over time (for life, or yearly for a set number of years) and the lottery gives no fixed cash value for it, so it counts in the odds but not in the return.
By ticket price
| Ticket price | Games | Average return at launch | Average odds of any prize |
|---|---|---|---|
| $1 | 12 | 63¢ | 1 in 4.82 |
| $2 | 17 | 64¢ | 1 in 4.73 |
| $3 | 8 | 63¢ | 1 in 3.99 |

| $30 | 8 | 71¢ | 1 in 3.98 |
Pricier tickets pay back a bigger share of what they cost, but each one costs more, so the money lost per ticket still grows with the price.
How the numbers are worked out
For each game the New York Lottery lists, for every prize amount, how many were printed and how many have been claimed. It does not publish the number of tickets printed, so that is worked out from the overall odds on each game's page: odds × prizes printed. From that:
odds of any prize = tickets ÷ all prizes printedreturn at launch = Σ(prize × number printed) ÷ (tickets × price)share sold ≈ claimed ÷ printedfor the most common prize, thenestimated return now = Σ(prize × prizes left) ÷ (tickets left × price)
Worked example, X SERIES: 200X ($30): 21,568,829 tickets and 5,958,240 prizes, so 1 in 3.62 wins something. The prize money is 74¢ per $1. Of its most common prize ($50), 3,588,622 of 3,779,138 are claimed (95.0%), which puts about 1,087,340 tickets still unsold, carrying $30,611,675 in unclaimed prizes: 94¢ per $1.
The estimate cannot see winning tickets that were sold but not yet cashed, and games near the end can swing either way. A higher return still means losing money on average.
Questions
Which New York scratch-off has the best odds?
By the chance of winning any prize, $300,000,000 CASH PAYOUT ($20): 1 in 3.55. By money paid back, the $30 games pay most: X SERIES: 200X returns 74¢ of every $1 at launch, against 62¢ for 9S IN A LINE DOUBLER ($1).
Are New York scratch-offs worth it?
Not as an investment. Every game on sale pays back less than it takes in: between 62¢ and 74¢ per $1 across the prize tables (games with a top prize paid over time left out), so the average ticket loses 26¢ to 38¢ of each dollar. Higher-priced games pay back a larger share.
How do I know how many prizes are left?
The New York Lottery publishes, for every game, how many prizes of each amount were printed and how many have been claimed. The table below uses the figures as of 2026-11-09. "Top prizes left" is printed minus claimed for the biggest prize.
What does "estimated return now" mean?
An estimate for the tickets still in stores. The share of the most common prize already claimed stands in for the share of tickets sold; the prizes still unclaimed are then spread over the tickets left. Winning tickets that were sold but not yet cashed make it approximate, so treat small differences as noise.
