Answers about the best South Dakota scratch-offs to buy, odds, price tiers, and how rankings work.
As of October 4, 2026, Diamond Deluxe ranks as the best overall South Dakota scratch-off among 32 eligible games. Strongest balance among eligible tickets based on profitable-prize odds of 1 in 3.47, 100% of original top prizes remaining. These rankings do not guarantee a win or profit.
$200,000 Winning 7s currently has the best published overall odds at 1 in 3.36. 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.
Lots of $100’s currently shows the most top prizes remaining (500 of 1593). Raw remaining counts are not the same as current top-prize odds.
Hidden Gems currently leads the $5 tier.
$1,000 Frenzy 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 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 South Dakota 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.
Rankings refresh when underlying South Dakota 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 South Dakota Lottery game pages, overall odds, ticket prices, top prizes, and top-prizes-remaining figures where available.
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 South Dakota 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.
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.
