Common questions about California scratch-offs
Which California games still have the biggest jackpots up for grabs?
The list above ranks active California scratch-offs by the absolute count of top-tier prizes still unclaimed. Games near the top of the list have one or more headline jackpots still in circulation; games further down have already had most or all of their top prizes claimed.
How often is the California top-prizes-remaining list updated?
Every day. Scratch IQ collects California Lottery remaining-prize data once daily and recomputes the per-tier counts for every active game. A game drops in rank as soon as one of its top-tier prizes is claimed and the California Lottery publishes the new count.
What counts as a "top prize" on Scratch IQ?
The top prize is the single highest-dollar tier on each scratch-off — what most players think of as the headline jackpot. It excludes secondary tiers and free-ticket prizes. The remaining count comes directly from the California Lottery's published prize-tier data.
Where do I claim a top prize in California?
Top-prize claim procedures are set by the California Lottery, not by Scratch IQ. The official California Lottery website (calottery.com) documents the claim process, including any required tax forms, deadlines, and in-person versus mail-in options. Scratch IQ is informational analytics and does not process or facilitate claims.
