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 Kentucky Lottery.
  • Top prizes unclaimed — how many of those the Kentucky 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 Kentucky 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 Kentucky 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 Kentucky game grades.

Cheaper combinations that beat a single ticket

For some Kentucky tickets, spending the same money on two or more cheaper tickets gives a higher total expected value. These are the ones where that is currently true.

Biggest difference right now +12.0% expected value
$50, $100, & $500 Blowout ticket Instead of $50, $100, & $500 Blowout $10 Money Train ticket Buy instead 2× Money Train $5

Both cost $10, but the pair carries about +12.0% more expected value than the single ticket.

$10 1 of 19 have a cheaper combination worth more +12.0% avg
$20 3 of 15 have a cheaper combination worth more +1.1% avg
$30 4 of 4 have a cheaper combination worth more +2.5% avg
$50 2 of 3 have a cheaper combination worth more +0.8% avg

Expected value is an average across many tickets, not a prediction for any single purchase, and every one of these games still returns less than it costs on average. Figures are recalculated daily from remaining prizes.

Frequently Asked Questions

What are the best Kentucky scratch-offs to buy right now?

Our three top-graded Kentucky scratch-offs today are Mega Cash ($20), Lucky Streak ($20) and Instant Millionaire ($50). Each still has at least one top prize left. Even these pay back less than they cost on average. Rankings change daily as prizes are claimed.

Which Kentucky scratch-off is most likely to win?

The Kentucky game with the best odds of winning any prize is Fastest Road to $3 Million™ ($30) at 1 in 2.60. It still has 2 top prizes of $2,514,835 left. Most of those wins are small, often just your ticket price back, so good odds are not the same as a good buy.

What's the best Kentucky scratch-off at each price?

Our top-graded pick at each price today: $1: $1 Set For Life; $2: Kentucky Humane Society™; $3: Witches Brew Bucks; $5: Mega Super Hot 7s; $10: $1000 Loaded!; $20: Mega Cash; $30: Deluxe Gold; $50: Instant Millionaire. The price filter on this page ranks every game at each price.

Which Kentucky scratch-offs should I avoid?

12 Kentucky games are still on sale even though every top prize has been claimed: Cash Bonus, Jackson, $5,000,000 Fortune, Wild Cash 100X, Wild Cash 200X, Hot Money Multiplier, Wild Cash Multiplier, Wild Cash 50X, Money Maker, Bingo Crossword and 2 more. You pay full price with no chance at the top prize. The Top Prizes Claimed (Avoid) filter on this page lists them.

How do I claim a winning Kentucky scratch-off?

Prizes up to $600 can be cashed at any lottery retailer in Kentucky, and prizes up to $25,000 at an Authorized Super Cashing Agent (Authorized Cashing Agents pay up to $5,000). Over $25,000 must be claimed at Kentucky Lottery Headquarters, 1011 W Main St, Louisville. You can also claim by mail for prizes up to $99,999; 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 Kentucky taxes lottery winnings as income at up to 3.5% (more on taxes on scratch-off winnings).

How long do I have to claim a Kentucky scratch-off?

You have 180 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 Kentucky scratch-offs online or with a card?

Yes, online: Kentucky Lottery Online (Instant Play) sells digital instant games in Kentucky, though those are separate games from the paper tickets sold in stores. At self-service lottery machines, debit and credit cards are both accepted. The lottery does not publish a rule for paying by card at the store counter, so ask the clerk. 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 Kentucky scratch-offs have better odds?

Mostly, up to $30. 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 61 cents; $2, 1 in 4.65 and about 60 cents; $3, 1 in 3.86 and about 64 cents; $5, 1 in 3.71 and about 68 cents; $10, 1 in 3.46 and about 71 cents; $20, 1 in 3.58 and about 74 cents; $30, 1 in 2.87 and about 78 cents; $50, 1 in 2.98 and about 80 cents. Payback tends to rise with price, but you still lose money on average at every price.

Are Kentucky scratch-offs worth it, or do any pay back more than they cost?

Not as an investment. Right now 0 of the 48 Kentucky games on sale are expected to pay back more than they cost. The best, Mega Cash ($20), still returns about 83 cents per dollar, and the typical game about 70 cents. 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 Kentucky games that are ending soon?

Sometimes, when good prizes are still left. The Ending Soon filter on this page lists the Kentucky games ending within the next 90 days. Bear in mind that scratch-off tickets do expire: in Kentucky you have 180 days from the date the lottery officially ends the game.
