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 South Dakota 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 South Dakota 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
