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 Ohio 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 Ohio 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

  • Check Best Value and Best Odds tabs above for the current top performers.

  • Games approaching their end date can sometimes offer interesting opportunities if significant prizes remain unclaimed (see Ending Soon tab when available).
  • Avoid games where all top prizes have been claimed — their ROI drops significantly.
  • 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.
