How we rank
Every morning, our scanning infrastructure ingests the District of Columbia Lottery's published remaining-prize counts and overall-odds data for every active scratch-off game. We compute expected value per dollar by weighting each prize tier's residual count against the estimated ticket pool. Ties are broken by the percentage of top-tier prizes outstanding. Read the full methodology, browse the glossary, or learn how scratch-off odds work.
Frequently asked · DC
$50, $100, & $500 BLOWOUT ($10) at — EV/$ is currently the highest-rated active District of Columbia scratch-off with 46 top prizes still unclaimed, as of our most recent daily scan. Rankings update every morning automatically.
Tirage tracks the top prizes remaining for every active District of Columbia scratch-off. The ranked list above shows each game with its current remaining-prize count, refreshed daily from the District of Columbia Lottery's official published data — so you can see at a glance which games still have top prizes unclaimed.
Yes. The District of Columbia Lottery publishes both the overall odds and the remaining-prize counts for every active scratch-off game. Our autonomous scanning infrastructure catalogs these daily and computes expected value for each.
Expected value per dollar (EV/$) is the probability-weighted average return per $1 spent, given the prizes still in play. An EV/$ of 0.72 means you statistically get back $0.72 per dollar. An EV/$ above 1.00 means the game is theoretically profitable — rare, but it happens when top prizes are mostly unclaimed late in a game's lifecycle.
Every morning, automatically. Our scanning infrastructure ingests the District of Columbia Lottery's published remaining-prize data once per day, recomputes expected value across all active games, and updates the rankings. Game launches, top-prize claims, and EV crossings are detected on every scan.
Smaller prizes (typically up to $599) can be claimed at any authorized District of Columbia Lottery retailer. Larger prizes require visiting a District of Columbia Lottery claim center. Visit the official District of Columbia Lottery website for current claim center locations and hours.
