As of , Scratch IQ ranks 52 active Illinois scratch-off games by EV/Dollar using public Illinois 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 Illinois 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 Illinois 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 Illinois scratch-offs?
Every active Illinois 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 Illinois 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 Illinois lottery prize data come from?
Public data published by the Illinois Lottery on illinoislottery.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 Illinois Lottery and is not affiliated with the Illinois Lottery.
Does Illinois lottery prohibit scratch-off EV calculation?
EV calculation uses publicly published prize counts, the same numbers anyone can read on the Illinois 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 Illinois Lottery operations.
