Answers about the best Kansas scratch-offs to buy, odds, price tiers, and how rankings work.
As of October 4, 2026, Extreme Crossword ranks as the best overall Kansas scratch-off among 46 eligible games. Strongest balance among eligible tickets based on published overall odds of 1 in 2.34. It also has the best published overall odds at 1 in 2.34. These rankings do not guarantee a win or profit.
The overall leader on this page — Extreme Crossword — holds the best published overall odds at 1 in 2.34. Overall odds count any prize as a win, including break-even prizes, so they do not necessarily mean the best chance of making a profit.
$50, $100 Or $200 currently shows the most top prizes remaining (3629). Raw remaining counts are not the same as current top-prize odds.
Ruby Red Riches currently leads the $5 tier.
Kansas City Chiefs currently leads the $10 tier.
Not automatically. Higher-priced tickets often have different prize structures and may show stronger published overall odds, but expected value and remaining top prizes vary by game. Compare odds, ROI where available, and prize availability inside each price tier.
Newer games can have more intact prize pools, but a recent launch does not guarantee better ROI or better odds than an older eligible game. Treat “best new” as its own category, not a substitute for expected value.
Eligible active games with at least one top prize remaining and enough published odds or prize-tier data are ranked by category (overall odds, profitable-prize odds, estimated ROI, top prizes remaining, large-prize availability, and newest) and by a composite score when multiple metrics are available. Games with all top prizes claimed, or games where the Kansas Lottery does not publish remaining-prize data, stay in the full scratch-off database but are excluded from rankings. Official lottery data is labeled separately from Lottery Valley calculations. See the methodology section on this page for weights and limitations.
Rankings refresh when underlying Kansas Lottery game and prize data change in Lottery Valley’s database. The date shown on this page reflects the latest game data used for the ranking, not a live feed of every claim.
No. Scratch-off games are random. Stronger comparative metrics improve how tickets compare to each other on published data; they do not identify winning tickets or guarantee a prize or profit.
Published Kansas Lottery game pages, overall odds, ticket prices, top prizes, and top-prizes-remaining figures where available.
Games must be active or ending, have at least one top prize remaining, and include enough published odds or prize-tier data to support ranking. Games with all top prizes claimed, and games where the Kansas Lottery does not publish remaining prize data, stay on the full scratch-off database but are excluded from rankings. Ended and coming-soon games are listing-only as well.
When inputs are available: 45% estimated-ROI percentile, 25% profitable-prize-odds percentile, 20% top-prize-availability percentile, 10% published overall-odds percentile. Missing inputs redistribute weight across remaining metrics. Large prize means ≥$100,000.
Rankings follow this published methodology and are not changed by affiliate relationships. Data analysis by Lottery Valley; reviewed by Jacob Dymond, Founder and Editor.
Overall odds show how often any prize appears across the printed ticket pool. A prize equal to the ticket price may count as a win, so the best overall odds do not necessarily mean the best chance of making a profit.
Calculated from prize tiers where the prize amount is greater than the ticket price, when full tier odds are published.
Stored expected-return figures where available. Labeled estimated when inventory assumptions are involved.
Raw remaining counts and the share of original top prizes still available. That is top-prize availability — not the same as current top-prize odds, which require remaining ticket inventory.
Rankings cannot identify winning ticket locations or change the randomness of scratch-off games. 18+ only.
