An independent, non-commercial hobby project that turns Florida's public scratch-off data into something you can actually read — odds, remaining prizes, expected value, winners, and retailers.
Where the numbers come from
- Games, odds & prizes remaining — the Florida Lottery's own public game data feed, refreshed nightly. Every prize tier's odds, total, remaining, and paid counts are theirs, unmodified.
- Winners — the Florida Lottery's public "Top-Prize Winners with Retailer Information" reports, parsed automatically. Recent winners of $250,000+ may show as anonymous for 90 days under Florida Statute 24.1051, then their names appear.
- Retailers — the Florida Lottery's public store locator, sampled statewide (13,500+ locations).
- Home/store locations — mapped to city/ZIP centroids (GeoNames); county populations are U.S. Census estimates.
How the analysis works
- Expected value (EV/$) is the average payout per $1 for a random remaining ticket. Every game is negative-EV; the best sit around $0.80–0.92. Figures use advertised face values — most jackpot winners take the ~63% cash option, so real returns run lower.
- Estimated tickets are inferred from each tier's
odds × prize count(robust to missing tiers). Games with decommissioned/degenerate odds tables are shown without EV. - Retailer "lift" is winners ÷ that chain's actual store count, versus the statewide average. It's a sales-volume proxy, not luck — every ticket is independent and random. No store or town is "due."
The honest disclaimers
Not affiliated with, endorsed by, or sponsored by the Florida Lottery or the State of Florida. This is a fan-made statistics project. All game names and figures are referenced factually from public records.
Odds and prize counts change constantly — always verify on the official Florida Lottery site or app before buying. Nothing here improves your odds; scratch-offs are a form of entertainment with a built-in house edge, and every ticket's outcome is independent.
