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 Mississippi Lottery.
- Top prizes unclaimed — how many of those the Mississippi 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 Mississippi 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 Mississippi 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 Mississippi game grades.

How long do I have to claim a Mississippi scratch-off?
You have 90 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 Mississippi scratch-offs online or with a card?
Scratch-offs are not sold online in Mississippi, so you have to buy them in a store. In stores, debit and credit cards are accepted if the store chooses. You must be 21 or older to buy. More in our guides to buying scratch-offs online and with a debit card.
Do more expensive Mississippi scratch-offs have better odds?
Mostly, up to $20. The typical (median) game at each price, with its odds of winning any prize and what it pays back per dollar: $1, 1 in 4.78 and about 56 cents; $2, 1 in 4.62 and about 62 cents; $3, 1 in 4.12 and about 65 cents; $5, 1 in 4.05 and about 75 cents; $10, 1 in 3.87 and about 81 cents; $20, 1 in 3.57 and about 80 cents; $30, 1 in 3.84 and about 79 cents. Payback tends to rise with price, but you still lose money on average at every price.

Right now 4 of the 78 Mississippi games on sale are expected to pay back more than they cost: Jumbo Bucks Limited ($10), Colossal Cash ($20), Spectacular Riches ($10) and Red Hot Cash ($10). The typical game returns about 67 cents per dollar. 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 Mississippi games that are ending soon?
Sometimes, when good prizes are still left. No Mississippi games are ending within the next 90 days, so there is no Ending Soon filter on this page right now. Bear in mind that scratch-off tickets do expire: in Mississippi you have 90 days from the date the lottery officially ends the game.
