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 South Carolina Education 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 printed for each game: odds × prizes at the start of the game. From that:

  • odds of any prize = tickets ÷ all prizes printed
  • return at launch = Σ(prize × number printed) ÷ (tickets × price)
  • share sold ≈ claimed ÷ printed for the most common prize, then estimated return now = Σ(prize × prizes left) ÷ (tickets left × price)

Worked example, Winning Spree ($10): 6,081,791 tickets and 1,757,743 prizes, so 1 in 3.46 wins something. The prize money is 76¢ per $1. Of its most common prize ($20), 618,261 of 761,235 are claimed (81.2%), which puts about 1,142,273 tickets still unsold, carrying $9,175,285 in unclaimed prizes: 80¢ 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 South Carolina scratch-off has the best odds?

By the chance of winning any prize, Magnificent Jumbo Bucks ($20): 1 in 3.09. By money paid back, the $20 games pay most: Magnificent Jumbo Bucks returns 78¢ of every $1 at launch, against 62¢ for Triple Red 777 ($1) ($1).

Are South Carolina scratch-offs worth it?

Not as an investment. Every game on sale pays back less than it takes in: between 62¢ and 78¢ per $1 across the prize tables, so the average ticket loses 22¢ to 38¢ of each dollar. Higher-priced games pay back a larger share.

How do I know how many prizes are left?

The South 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 2026-11-09. "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.
