How we rank
Every morning, our scanning infrastructure ingests the Kentucky 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.

Frequently asked · KY
1Break Fort Knox ($0) at — EV/$ is currently the highest-rated active Kentucky scratch-off with 8 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 Kentucky scratch-off. The ranked list above shows each game with its current remaining-prize count, refreshed daily from the Kentucky Lottery's official published data — so you can see at a glance which games still have top prizes unclaimed.
Yes. The Kentucky 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 Kentucky 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 Kentucky Lottery retailer. Larger prizes require visiting a Kentucky Lottery claim center. Visit the official Kentucky Lottery website for current claim center locations and hours.
