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: DC Lottery — DC Scratchers. Source data as of October 21, 2026. Retrieved October 21, 2026. The DC Lottery publishes the complete prize table for every game (total, paid and remaining per tier), so every percentage on the page is computed from the source. A game is included when it is in the Lottery's Active availability filter and its page has no Last Date to Claim; the Lottery does not publish a sales-end date. Odds are printed as 1:X and normalized to the site's 1-in-X format. DC publishes no sales-end date; games that started more than three years ago are treated as ended because the Lottery leaves old pages in its Active filter. Always confirm with the official state lottery before buying.
