South Dakota scratch-off FAQ
What is the best scratch-off ticket in South Dakota right now?
South Dakota doesn't publish live prize-claim data, so we rank by each game's payout as originally printed. By that measure the best ticket is Money Maker, a $30 game that pays back about $0.77 per $1 at launch.
How are South Dakota scratch-off odds and returns calculated?
We use the South Dakota Lottery's published prize amounts and launch odds to estimate the payout per dollar when each game began. Live remaining-prize data is unavailable, so these are launch payouts, not current returns.
How often is the South Dakota scratch-off data updated?
We attempt to collect official South Dakota Lottery data daily. The latest successful collection shown here is Oct 31, 2026. Individual game pages show their own collection dates. Source delays or collection failures can leave older figures in place.
Do better odds mean I will make money on South Dakota scratch-offs?
No. Like all lottery games, South Dakota 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.
