How We Calculate Value

We use real-time remaining prizes data to figure out the Return on Investment (ROI) for every active 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 game is currently profitable on average
  • Negative ROI → expected loss per dollar spent (most games fall here)

Tips for Playing

  • Focus on KY scratch off games with the highest ROI to maximize wins.
  • Focus on KY positive ROI games first.
  • Check back often, ticket data changes daily! New KY games are also updated automatically.
  • Avoid KY games without top prizes.
  • Check KY ending-soon games - You oftentimes have a better chance of hitting top prizes if they have not been sold out.
  • Never play more than you can afford to lose. Even with our data, it is still a game of chance.
