Common questions about Maryland 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 Maryland 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 Maryland scratch-offs?
Every active Maryland 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 Maryland 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 Maryland lottery prize data come from?
Public data published by the Maryland Lottery on mdlottery.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 Maryland Lottery and is not affiliated with the Maryland Lottery.
Does Maryland lottery prohibit scratch-off EV calculation?
EV calculation uses publicly published prize counts, the same numbers anyone can read on the Maryland 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 Maryland Lottery operations.
