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

Can I buy South Carolina scratch-offs online or with a card?

Do more expensive South Carolina scratch-offs have better odds?
Mostly, up to $10. The typical (median) game at each price, with its odds of winning any prize and what it pays back per dollar: $1, 1 in 4.84 and about 61 cents; $2, 1 in 4.41 and about 67 cents; $3, 1 in 4.02 and about 66 cents; $5, 1 in 3.95 and about 70 cents; $10, 1 in 3.48 and about 74 cents; $20, 1 in 4.38 and about 78 cents. Payback tends to rise with price, but you still lose money on average at every price.
Are South Carolina scratch-offs worth it, or do any pay back more than they cost?
Not as an investment. Right now 0 of the 33 South Carolina games on sale are expected to pay back more than they cost. The best, 200X ($20), still returns about 96 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 South Carolina games that are ending soon?
Sometimes, when good prizes are still left. The Ending Soon filter on this page lists the South Carolina games ending within the next 90 days. Bear in mind that scratch-off tickets do expire: in South Carolina you have 90 days from the date the lottery officially ends the game.
