Maryland Scratch-Off Buying FAQs

Answers about the best Maryland scratch-offs to buy, odds, price tiers, and how rankings work.

What is the best Maryland scratch-off ticket right now?

As of October 4, 2026, 30X Cash ranks as the best overall Maryland scratch-off among 92 eligible games. Strongest balance among eligible tickets based on 100% of original top prizes remaining. These rankings do not guarantee a win or profit.

Which Maryland scratch-off has the best overall odds?

$5,000,000 LUXE currently has the best published overall odds at 1 in 2.50. Overall odds count any prize as a win, including prizes equal to the ticket price, so they do not necessarily mean the best chance of making a profit.

Which Maryland scratch-off has the most top prizes remaining?

Win $50, $100 or $ (#806) currently shows the most top prizes remaining (10721 of 18893). Raw remaining counts are not the same as current top-prize odds.

What is the best $5 Maryland scratch-off?

Deluxe Crossword (#816) currently leads the $5 tier.

What is the best $10 Maryland scratch-off?

$100,000 Crossword (#815) currently leads the $10 tier.

Are higher-priced Maryland scratch-offs better?

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.

Are newer Maryland scratch-offs better?

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.

How does Lottery Valley rank Maryland scratch-offs?

Eligible active games need published odds or prize-tier data. A game with a published top-prize count ranks only while at least one top prize remains. When the Maryland Lottery does not publish remaining counts, active games are ranked on those odds. Games with all top prizes claimed 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.

How often are Maryland scratch-off rankings updated?

Rankings refresh when underlying Maryland 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.

Do better odds guarantee a win?

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.

How Lottery Valley Ranks Maryland Scratch-Offs

Data sources

Published Maryland Lottery game pages, overall odds, ticket prices, top prizes, and top-prizes-remaining figures where available.

Eligibility

Games must be active or ending and include enough published odds or prize-tier data to support ranking. A game with a published top-prize count ranks only while at least one top prize remains. When the Maryland Lottery does not publish remaining counts, active games are ranked on those odds. Games with all top prizes claimed stay on the full scratch-off database but are excluded from rankings. Ended and coming-soon games are listing-only as well.

Composite score weights

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.

Independence

Rankings follow this published methodology and are not changed by affiliate relationships. Data analysis by Lottery Valley; reviewed by Jacob Dymond, Founder and Editor.

What Maryland Scratch-Off Odds and Rankings Mean

Overall odds

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.

Profit odds

Calculated from prize tiers where the prize amount is greater than the ticket price, when full tier odds are published.

Estimated ROI / EV

Stored expected-return figures where available. Labeled estimated when inventory assumptions are involved.

Top prizes remaining

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.

Responsible play

Play responsibly in United States

Lottery draws are chance-based. Predictions, generators, and strategy content do not guarantee winnings — and age or access rules depend on local law and the official operator.

If gambling stops feeling fun, free confidential support is available in United States. The helpline beside this section is a good place to start.
