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 Illinois 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 Illinois 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 Illinois Scratchers
- Focus on Illinois 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.

How do I claim a winning Illinois 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 Illinois 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.
