About Our Data
The NC Lottery releases prize data once daily. We check for updates every hour. Data shown reflects the most recent information availableβ€”not real-time ticket sales.

🎲 How It Works

Think of it like counting cards, but for scratch-offs. Every game starts with a set number of prizes. As people buy tickets, prizes get claimed. We count what's left so you know when a game is hotβ€”and when it's not worth your money.

Score
0-100 Rating

We rate each game from 0-100. Higher scores = better value for your money right now.

"2x Better"
Improved Odds

When you see "2x better," your chances of hitting the jackpot have doubled since the game launched.

πŸ“Š Why Your Odds Change

Here's the thing most people don't realize: your odds aren't fixed. As tickets sell, the math changes.

If lots of tickets sell but the jackpot is still out there? Your odds just got better. Fewer tickets left means less competition for that big prize.

But if the jackpot gets claimed while tons of tickets remain? Skip that game. You'd be playing for the smaller prizes only.

We track this daily so you always know which games are worth playing.

πŸ’‘ Play Your Way

There are 15,488 jackpots out there today. Now you can decide how to play:

The lottery always has an edgeβ€”that's how it works. But checking here before you buy? That's playing smart.
