Overall odds

How to read “prizes remaining.” These counts are what the lottery still lists as unclaimed. A prize can be in a ticket that has already been sold but not yet claimed, and claims take time to post — so a remaining prize is not a guarantee a winning ticket is still in a store. A game’s printed overall odds come from its original prize structure and do not update as prizes are claimed.

Source: New Jersey Lottery — Instant games prize tiers. Source data as of October 21, 2026. Retrieved October 21, 2026. Every prize tier comes from the New Jersey Lottery's public instant-games feed, the same JSON the scratch-offs page uses, so the all-prize percentages cover the whole game. On sale means validationStatus ACTIVE and inside the Lottery's own ACTIVE-tab window: launched on or before today and today is before disableDate minus one year (the claim window). Games in that final year, and DISABLED/EXPIRED games, are dropped. Free-ticket tiers are counted but have no cash value, so a game with one shows prize counts only. Annuity top prizes use the advertised total (for example $1,000,000 paid in 25 annual installments), not the cash option. The feed publishes no overall odds and no as-of date, so odds stay null and asOf is the fetch date. Always confirm with the official state lottery before buying.
