Prize Activity Summary
Over the past 31 days, scratch-off games in this state paid out approximately $26.2 million in prizes, averaging $843,668 per day across 81 active games. Instant Millionaire leads in prize activity with $3.4 million claimed ($50 ticket). 2 top prizes remain. $50, $100, & $500 Blowout follows with $2.4 million in claims.
Smart Combo Strategies by Price Tier
Our analysis found that some Kentucky scratch-off tickets can be beaten by buying a combination of cheaper tickets with higher total expected value. Here's a breakdown by price tier.
| Price Tier | Games Improved | Avg EV Improvement | Best Combo Example |
|---|---|---|---|
| $2 | 1 of 8 games (12.5%) | +3.6% | 2x $1 Break Fort Knox ($1) |
| $10 | 1 of 19 games (5.3%) | +12.6% | 2x Wild 7's ($5) |
| $20 | 6 of 15 games (40.0%) | +6.9% | 2x Kentucky Jackpot ($10) |
| $30 | 3 of 5 games (60.0%) | +4.8% | 1x Mega Cash ($20) + 1x Kentucky Jackpot ($10) |
| $50 | 2 of 3 games (66.7%) | +4.8% | 1x Deluxe Gold ($30) + 1x Mega Cash ($20) |
Expected value improvement is calculated from current remaining prizes. Combo strategies use the best-performing game at each cheaper price tier.
Games With Better Alternatives
These games have a cheaper ticket combination that delivers more expected value for the same price.
How We Calculate Value & ROI
We use real-time remaining prizes data to figure out the Return on Investment (ROI) for every active scratchers game.
Expected Value (EV) = total dollar amount you can expect to win back per ticket, based on:
- Every remaining prize tier
- Current probability of hitting each prize (remaining count ÷ estimated tickets left)
ROI = (EV − ticket price) ÷ ticket price × 100%
- Positive ROI (e.g., +12%) → the scratchers game is currently profitable on average
- Negative ROI → expected loss per dollar spent (most games fall here)
This situation changes frequently as players claim prizes and the Kentucky Lottery updates official data. We recommend checking back regularly, as new games and updated prize data can create fresh opportunities.
Odds vs ROI – What Actually Matters?
Odds tell you the chance of winning any prize on a single lottery ticket. For example, 1 in 4 odds means you have about a 25% chance of winning something (any amount) on average. It's based on the total prizes and tickets printed by the Kentucky Lottery, and it doesn't change much as prizes are claimed.
ROI (Return on Investment) measures how much money you can expect to get back per dollar spent on scratchers, after accounting for the current remaining prizes and their values. It's basically expected value minus ticket price.
In short:
- Odds = probability of winning something
- ROI = actual money value of the game based on what's left to win
Smart Tips for Playing Kentucky Scratchers
- Focus on Kentucky scratchers with the highest ROI and expected value to maximize your wins.
- Check Best Value and Best Odds tabs above for the current top performers.
- New releases (see Newest tab) start with all prizes intact and typically give you the best chance of winning a big prize.
- Games approaching their end date can sometimes offer interesting opportunities if significant prizes remain unclaimed (see Ending Soon tab when available) — just check how long you have to claim before the game closes.
- Avoid games where all top prizes have been claimed — their ROI drops significantly.
- A higher ticket price does not automatically mean better value. See how the tiers actually compare and what the most expensive ticket in each state returns.
- Buying several tickets from the same pack? It helps to know how many winning tickets are in a roll and why a full roll never guarantees a profit.
- Check back often — ticket data changes daily!
- Never play more than you can afford to lose. Even with our data, it is still a game of chance.
Current Kentucky Scratch-Off Insights
There are currently 13 games with all top prizes claimed.
11 games are approaching their end dates.
Why play new releases? Recently launched games start with all prizes intact and often give you the best mathematical edge.
When top prizes are gone, the expected value of remaining tickets drops — focus instead on games still showing strong ROI in the table above.
Frequently Asked Questions
What are the best scratch-off tickets to buy in Kentucky?
Our data shows that lottery scratchers with the highest ROI give you the best chance among Kentucky instant win games. Use the Best Value tab above to see the current top performers.
Why Play Kentucky Scratch Offs?
The Kentucky Lottery offers a variety of scratch-off tickets and instant games, with jackpots up to millions of dollars. Check remaining prizes on these lottery tickets to avoid duds.
What is the difference between odds and ROI?
Odds tell you the chance of winning any prize on a single lottery ticket. ROI (Return on Investment) measures how much money you can expect to get back per dollar spent, after accounting for remaining prizes. In short: Odds = probability of winning something; ROI = actual money value of the game based on what's left to win.
Are there any Kentucky scratchers with positive ROI right now?
Currently no games show positive ROI, but this changes frequently. Check back soon!
Should I play ending-soon games?
Sometimes yes — when significant prizes remain, these can offer great value. See the Ending Soon tab (when data is available for Kentucky). Bear in mind that a closing game starts the clock on claiming: scratch-off tickets do expire, and the deadline runs from the game's end date rather than the day you bought it.
What are the best $5 scratch-off tickets in Kentucky?
Right now, $30 Set For Life leads the $5 category with 3.51:1 overall odds and 0.0% ROI. It has 3 top prizes remaining. Use the price filter above to see all $5 games ranked.

Which Kentucky scratch-off wins the most?
Right now, Win Big ($10 ticket) is the top performer in Kentucky based on expected return on investment (0.0% ROI). It has 2 top prizes of $200,000 still available. This changes daily as prizes are claimed — use the Best Value tab above for the current rankings.
Which Kentucky scratch-offs should I avoid?
Avoid games where all top prizes have been claimed — there are currently 13 such games still on shelves in Kentucky. These tickets sell at full price but their biggest payouts are gone, significantly reducing expected value. See the "Top Prizes Claimed (Avoid)" tab above for the full list.
How do I claim a winning Kentucky scratch-off?
Smaller prizes can usually be cashed at any lottery retailer, while larger amounts have to go through a district office or lottery headquarters — the cut-off varies by state. Our guide to where to cash scratch-off tickets covers the thresholds and the documents you need. Above certain amounts the prize is reported and withheld against, so it is worth reading up on taxes on scratch-off winnings before you claim.
Can I buy Kentucky scratch-offs online or with a card?
It depends on the state. A handful run official iLottery platforms with digital instant games, and the rest are retail-only — see whether you can buy scratch-offs online for the current list. Payment rules vary too: some states and retailers are cash-only, which is covered in our guide to paying with a debit card. Age limits differ as well — most states require 18, a few require 21.
