See how Maryland compares to all 43 states
Prize Activity Summary
Over the past 31 days, scratch-off games in this state paid out approximately $53.6 million in prizes, averaging $1.7 million per day across 79 active games. Diamonds & Gold leads in prize activity with $3.7 million claimed ($30 ticket). 2 top prizes remain. Rose Gold follows with $3.4 million in claims.
Smart Combo Strategies by Price Tier
Our analysis found that some Maryland scratch-off tickets can be beaten by buying a combination of cheaper tickets with higher total expected value. Here's a breakdown by price tier.
| Price Tier | Games Improved | Avg EV Improvement | Best Combo Example |
|---|---|---|---|
| $2 | 3 of 8 games (37.5%) | +8.0% | 2x Triple Red 7s ($1) |
| $5 | 1 of 19 games (5.3%) | +5.8% | 1x Diamond Bingo ($3) + 1x Triple Red 7s Doubler ($2) |
| $10 | 2 of 20 games (10.0%) | +0.6% | 2x Lucky 7s Tripler ($5) |
| $20 | 7 of 9 games (77.8%) | +3.6% | 2x Double Your Money ($10) |
| $25 | 1 of 1 games (100.0%) | +2.9% | 1x Triple Red 777s ($20) + 1x Lucky 7s Tripler ($5) |
| $30 | 2 of 8 games (25.0%) | +1.5% | 1x Triple Red 777s ($20) + 1x Double Your Money ($10) |
| $50 | 2 of 2 games (100.0%) | +3.2% | 1x Mega Money ($30) + 1x Triple Red 777s ($20) |
Expected value improvement is calculated from current remaining prizes. Combo strategies use the best-performing game at each cheaper price tier.
Games With Better Alternatives
These games have a cheaper ticket combination that delivers more expected value for the same price.
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 Maryland 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 Maryland 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 Maryland Scratchers
- Focus on Maryland scratchers with the highest ROI and expected value to maximize your wins.
