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 North Carolina Education Lottery lists, for every prize amount, how many were printed and how many have been claimed, with the odds of each prize. It does not print the number of tickets, so it is worked out from those odds: odds × prizes printed, taking the middle value over the larger prize levels. 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, $1,000,000 Bonus Match ($10): 7,398,202 tickets and 1,968,633 prizes, so 1 in 3.76 wins something. The prize money is 75¢ per $1. Of its most common prize ($20), 751,786 of 788,786 are claimed (95.3%), which puts about 347,031 tickets still unsold, carrying $3,284,810 in unclaimed prizes: 95¢ 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 North Carolina scratch-off has the best odds?
By the chance of winning any prize, 200X The Cash ($30): 1 in 2.93. By money paid back, the $50 games pay most: 500X The Cash returns 82¢ of every $1 at launch, against 60¢ for Hit $50! ($1).
Are North Carolina scratch-offs worth it?
Not as an investment. Every game on sale pays back less than it takes in: between 60¢ and 82¢ per $1 across the prize tables, so the average ticket loses 18¢ to 40¢ of each dollar. Higher-priced games pay back a larger share.
How do I know how many prizes are left?
The North Carolina Education 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 2026-11-08. "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.
