New York scratch-off FAQ
What is the best scratch-off ticket in New York right now?
As of our latest update, the New York scratch-off with the highest expected return is INSTANT TAKE 5, a $1 ticket returning about $0.97 per $1. Rankings change daily as prizes are claimed, so the table above always shows the current order.
How are New York scratch-off odds and returns calculated?
We take the official remaining-prize data published by the New York Lottery and divide the value of all unclaimed prizes by the estimated number of tickets remaining. That gives each game's expected return per dollar spent.
How often is the New York scratch-off data updated?
Every day. We refresh New York prize data daily from the official New York Lottery source, so the rankings reflect prizes claimed since the game launched.
Do better odds mean I will make money on New York scratch-offs?
No. Like all lottery games, New York scratch-offs carry a negative expected return on average — a higher-ranked ticket simply loses you less, not nothing. Play for fun, not for income.
