How We Calculate Value, ROI & Grades
Every game on this page shows the same four figures and a letter grade. Here’s what each one means.
- Top prize — the game’s largest advertised prize, as published by the Oregon Lottery.
- Top prizes unclaimed — how many of those the Oregon Lottery has not yet recorded as claimed. An unclaimed prize may already be sitting on a ticket someone has bought, so this doesn’t guarantee one is still on a shelf.
- Published odds — the Oregon Lottery’s original “1 in X” chance of winning any prize, which includes winning back just the ticket price. These are the odds set when the game was printed, not a recalculation of the odds among unsold tickets.
- Est. ROI — the estimated average gain or loss against what you spend. −20% means roughly 80¢ back per $1. We work it out from the prize counts the lottery reports and an estimate of how many tickets remain, so it’s a model rather than a measurement, and any single ticket can land far from the average.
- Grade — our 0–100 score shown as a letter, A being 85 or above. The largest single factor is whether a game still has unclaimed top prizes. Among the games that do, the grade is driven mostly by estimated return and by how the top-prize odds have moved since launch.
We read official Oregon Lottery prize reports daily. ROI and grades are our own calculations, not official lottery ratings. Read our full methodology for how we source data, estimate remaining tickets, and calculate expected value, ROI and the Oregon game grades.

Frequently Asked Questions
What are the best Oregon scratch-offs to buy right now?
Our three top-graded Oregon scratch-offs today are 50X ($20), Jackpot Spin ($10) and Cash Frenzy ($10). Each still has at least one top prize left. Rankings change daily as prizes are claimed.
Which Oregon scratch-off is most likely to win?
The Oregon game with the best odds of winning any prize is Phoenix Crossword ($20) at 1 in 2.74. It still has 1 top prize of $175,000 left. Most of those wins are small, often just your ticket price back, so good odds are not the same as a good buy.

Prizes up to $600 can be cashed at any lottery retailer in Oregon, and larger prizes at a Prize Payment Center (Salem headquarters or Wilsonville). Prizes over $50,000 must be claimed in person, by appointment, at the Salem or Wilsonville Prize Payment Center (call 800-766-6789). You can also claim by mail for prizes up to $50,000; our guide to where to cash scratch-off tickets covers the forms and ID you need. Federal tax of 24% is withheld on prizes over $5,000, and Oregon taxes lottery winnings as income at up to 9.9% (more on taxes on scratch-off winnings).
How long do I have to claim an Oregon scratch-off?
You have 365 days from the date the lottery officially ends the game, not from the day you bought the ticket. Check a game's end date before you buy, especially if it is ending soon. Our guide to whether scratch-off tickets expire lists every state's deadline.
Can I buy Oregon scratch-offs online or with a card?
Scratch-offs are not sold online in Oregon, so you have to buy them in a store. You must be 18 or older to buy. More in our guides to buying scratch-offs online and with a debit card.
Do more expensive Oregon scratch-offs have better odds?
Mostly, up to $20. The typical (median) game at each price, with its odds of winning any prize and what it pays back per dollar: $1, 1 in 4.83 and about 56 cents; $2, 1 in 4.55 and about 60 cents; $3, 1 in 4.44 and about 65 cents; $5, 1 in 4.00 and about 67 cents; $10, 1 in 3.73 and about 72 cents; $20, 1 in 3.07 and about 73 cents; $30, 1 in 3.28 and about 74 cents. Payback tends to rise with price, but you still lose money on average at every price.
Are Oregon scratch-offs worth it, or do any pay back more than they cost?
Right now 1 of the 51 Oregon games on sale is expected to pay back more than it costs: 50X ($20). The typical game returns about 67 cents per dollar. A scratch-off that pays back more than it costs is rare and does not last long, so play for fun with money you can afford to lose. More on whether scratch-off tickets are worth it.
Should I buy Oregon games that are ending soon?
Sometimes, when good prizes are still left. The Ending Soon filter on this page lists the Oregon games ending within the next 90 days. Bear in mind that scratch-off tickets do expire: in Oregon you have 365 days from the date the lottery officially ends the game.
