Connecticut LotteryScratch GamesOverall Odds

The top remaining scratch off prizes, ranked from largest to smallest top prize, are as follows. For a complete list of remaining prizes for all games, visit our Connecticut Lottery Remaining Prizes page.

The Overall Odds on scratch games refer to the odds of winning ANY prize, including breakeven prizes and free tickets. If the Overall Odds of winning are 1 in 3.6, that does not mean if you purchased four tickets that one of them will definitely be a winner. The Overall Odds are the odds of winning any prize, on average, over the course of the entire game.

It’s important to remember when playing the lottery that it is a game of chance. Winning takes a combination of planning and luck. Players are encouraged to:

1. Make a Plan – Decide on your prize target for the day. Avoid being a player that wants to “win anything” and have a plan in mind. Remember that the smaller your prize goal, the better the odds of winning.
2. Set a Budget – Having a budget will help determine the ticket price and how many tickets you are able to purchase.
3. Choose Wisely – Focus on games with the best odds according to prize goal and budget.

Players asking this question are often referring to which game has the best Overall Odds. That is because they aren’t aware prize level odds data is available. The “BEST” game to play is going to vary player to player depending on the prizes they are chasing.

When Players ask which scratch off wins the most, they often are referring to one of two common meanings:

Overall Odds – The best overall odds will have the most “wins”; however, these games often are packed with smaller, breakeven prizes. Players may see more wins, but often they will just be winning their money back.

Prize Payout – The higher a game’s Prize Payout, the larger proportion of ticket sales are paid out as prizes to players. Typically higher priced games will payout more prize money than the less expensive games.

In Connecticut, scratch game prizes expire and must be claimed within 180 calendar days from the announced end of the game date. The specific end date can be found on the CT Lottery’s website.
