Answers about the best Wisconsin scratch-offs to buy, odds, price tiers, and how rankings work.
As of October 3, 2026, CROSSWORD MILLIONAIRE ranks as the best overall Wisconsin scratch-off among 48 eligible games. Strongest balance among eligible tickets based on 100% of original top prizes remaining. These rankings do not guarantee a win or profit.
$2 MILLION ROYALE currently has the best published overall odds at 1 in 2.90. 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.
$50S & $100S EXPLOSION currently shows the most top prizes remaining (43034 of 74646). Raw remaining counts are not the same as current top-prize odds.
EXTEND YOUR CASH currently leads the $5 tier.
$10 PACKERS 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 Wisconsin 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 Wisconsin 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 Wisconsin 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 Wisconsin 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.
