New York scratcher odds, explained
Every scratch‑off prints its overall odds — your chance of winning any prize — on the back of the ticket. But those are the odds the day the game launched. As the top prizes get claimed, a game's real odds and payoff drift, usually for the worse.
We pull the official New York prize data every day and recompute the current odds from the prizes still available — that's the "Any‑prize odds" column above, and what the ranking is built on. One catch worth knowing: the best odds of winning something and the best value aren't always the same game — a ticket can win often yet mostly just hand back your stake. The table ranks by real value so you can weigh both.
Frequently asked questions
What are the odds on New York scratchers?
Each New York scratch‑off prints its overall odds of winning any prize, but those are the launch odds. We recompute the current odds from the prizes still remaining — the "Any‑prize odds" column above — so you see the real odds today, game by game.
Which New York scratchers still have prizes available?
Every game page breaks down each prize tier — printed, claimed, and still available — from the official New York Lottery feed. The rankings above are built on those still-available prizes, so higher-ranked games have more of their prize pool left to win.
Which New York scratcher is the best value right now?
VIP MILLIONS currently ranks #1 by overall value among active New York scratch‑offs, based on its current odds and the prizes still remaining.
How often is this updated?
Daily, from the official New York Lottery feed. This page was last updated August 6, 2026.
Do the odds change after a game launches?
Yes. As prizes are claimed, a game's real odds and return shift. These rankings use the prizes still remaining, not the launch odds printed on the ticket.
