Four states rolled out new scratch-offs over the first week of June 2026: Washington DC on June 3, Maine on June 4, Vermont on June 5, and Rhode Island on June 6. That's 14 new games across four lotteries. Here's the full rundown, organized by state.
Washington DC (June 3)
DC launched three games from $1 to $10. Note that DC's odds are estimated rather than official, so the odds figures below are ScratchCheck estimates.
Red Hot 10s ($10)

Red Hot 10s is by far the strongest DC launch, opening with a ValueScore of 91.1. Estimated odds of 1 in 3.27, a 73.6% payout rate, and 2 top prizes remaining. The VS of 91.1 puts it near the top of the DC catalog at launch. If you're buying in DC right now, this is the clear pick of the three.
$100 Loaded! ($2)

$100 Loaded! is a $2 game with a VS of 48.6, estimated odds of 1 in 4.34, a 64.2% payout, and 2 top prizes remaining. Typical $2 numbers with a payout on the lower end. A casual buy.
$50 Loaded! ($1)

$50 Loaded! rounds out the DC launches at $1 with a VS of 43, estimated odds of 1 in 4.47, and a 60.4% payout. Standard $1 numbers, the weakest price tier as always. A low-stakes impulse buy.
Maine (June 4)
Maine launched four games from $1 to $10. Maine doesn't publish payout rates, so those figures aren't available, but the odds are official.
Color Blast Crossword ($10)

Color Blast Crossword is the best Maine launch with a ValueScore of 59, overall odds of 1 in 3.15 (the tightest of any game in this entire roundup), and 4 top prizes remaining. The crossword format plus those tight odds make it the standout in Maine and a strong $10 option for players who like frequent wins.
Big Money Spectacular ($2)

Big Money Spectacular is a $2 game with a VS of 56.7, odds of 1 in 4.16, and 6 top prizes remaining. The 6 intact top prizes give it a healthy pool at launch for the price point. A reasonable low-cost option.
High Card Poker ($5)

High Card Poker covers the $5 tier with a VS of 44.2, odds of 1 in 3.91, and 4 top prizes of $10,000,000 remaining. The poker theme and a $10 million top prize give it appeal, though the VS is on the lower side. A fine mid-range buy.
Grab a Grand ($1)

Grab a Grand is a $1 game with a VS of 48.1, odds of 1 in 4.43, and 12 top prizes of $100,000 remaining. The 12 intact top prizes are the most of any game in this roundup, giving it a fully stocked pool at launch. A casual $1 buy with a surprisingly deep prize pool for the price.

Bingo X20 ($3)

Bingo X20 is the best Vermont launch with a ValueScore of 63.5, odds of 1 in 3.83, and 9 top prizes remaining. The bingo format tends to deliver frequent mid-tier wins, and 9 intact top prizes give it the strongest pool of the Vermont arrivals. The pick of the four.
Wild Side ($10)

Wild Side covers the $10 tier with a VS of 55.4, odds of 1 in 3.6, and 4 top prizes of $4,000,000 remaining. Solid odds for the price and an intact prize pool. The best higher-priced option among the Vermont launches.
Lucky Stars ($5)

Lucky Stars is a $5 game with a VS of 32, odds of 1 in 4.27, and 4 top prizes of $2,500,000 remaining. The VS is on the low side, with looser odds than the rest of the Vermont group, though the intact prize pool helps. A middling option.
Find the 5s ($2)

Find the 5s is a $2 game with a VS of 39.4, odds of 1 in 4.52, and 10 top prizes remaining. The looser odds pull the VS down, but the 10 intact top prizes are a strong pool for a $2 game. A casual buy.
Rhode Island (June 6)
Rhode Island launched three games from $5 to $20, all with official odds and payout rates.
Cash Crown ($20)

Cash Crown is the strongest Rhode Island launch with a ValueScore of 90.3, the highest of the three. Overall odds of 1 in 3.51, a 73% payout rate, and 2 top prizes remaining. The VS of 90.3 makes it a strong $20 buy and the clear pick of the Rhode Island arrivals.

Thunder Struck covers the $10 tier with a VS of 75.3, odds of 1 in 3.77, a 70.2% payout, and 2 top prizes of $5,000,000 remaining. A solid $10 option with a reasonable payout for the price. A good middle choice in Rhode Island.
