Odds, Prizes & Rankings
Quick answer
The Iowa Lottery currently has 76 active scratch-off games priced from $1 to $50. Scratch IQ tracks each game's odds, prices and remaining prizes from official lottery data and ranks all 76 by expected value per dollar — rankings are rebuilt every day as the lottery publishes new remaining-prize counts.
As of , Scratch IQ ranks 76 active Iowa scratch-off games by EV/Dollar using public Iowa Lottery data, updated daily.
EV/Dollar is the statistical return per $1 spent given the prizes still left in circulation. Prize Ratio tracks how fast top prizes are depleting versus tickets overall — a ratio above 1.0 means top prizes are depleting more slowly. See the methodology for the formula and per-state data sources. You can also compare the biggest unclaimed prize in every state.

Common questions about Iowa scratch-offs
Are scratch-off odds the same when fewer prizes remain?
Not exactly. The probability of winning any prize on a single ticket stays close to the published overall odds, but the remaining prize pool shifts as winners are claimed. When the headline top prize on a Iowa game has already been won, the remaining tickets still pay smaller prizes, so the expected return per dollar drops. Scratch IQ tracks remaining prize counts daily and recomputes EV/Dollar so you see the current value, not the launch-day value.
How does Scratch IQ rank Iowa scratch-offs?
Every active Iowa scratch-off is ranked by EV/Dollar, the statistical return per $1 spent, using the prizes still left in circulation. The formula and per-tier inputs are documented on the methodology page. Rankings update once daily as new Iowa Lottery data is published. Top Prize Ratio adds context: when it exceeds 1.0, top prizes are depleting more slowly than tickets overall.
Where does Iowa lottery prize data come from?
Public data published by the Iowa Lottery on ialottery.com. The lottery posts each game's overall odds, prize tiers, total prizes printed, and prizes remaining. Scratch IQ collects those public numbers daily and applies the same EV formula to every state it covers. Scratch IQ does not receive private data from the Iowa Lottery and is not affiliated with the Iowa Lottery.
Does Iowa lottery prohibit scratch-off EV calculation?
EV calculation uses publicly published prize counts, the same numbers anyone can read on the Iowa Lottery's website. Calculating expected value from public data is a long-standing practice in lottery analysis taught in university statistics courses and used in retail player communities. Scratch IQ's analysis is informational, is not gambling advice, does not modify lottery outcomes, and does not interfere with Iowa Lottery operations.
