Which Tennessee scratch-offs win the most?

Which Tennessee scratch-offs win the most?

"Which scratch-off wins the most" comes down to how often a ticket pays any prize, and in Tennessee that means reading the overall odds, the lower the number, the more often it wins. These figures are as of this writing on August 14, 2026.

By that measure, these Tennessee games win the most often:

GamePriceOdds of any winValueScore™
Mega Play Jumbo Bucks Crossword$201 in 2.5767.7
The Fastest Road To A $1 Million$501 in 2.6467.1
$3,000 Loaded$301 in 2.7477.8
Jumbo Bucks Extravaganza$501 in 2.7654.6
$2,000 Frenzy$201 in 3.0074.8

Mega Play Jumbo Bucks Crossword tops the list at 1 in 2.57, meaning it returns some prize on nearly two of every five tickets. But the standout is $3,000 Loaded: it wins nearly as often at 1 in 2.74 and also carries the highest ValueScore in the state at 77.8, so it leads on both how often it pays and how much it gives back. That combination is rare, and it is the one Tennessee ticket on this list worth singling out.

But there's a catch, and it matters more in Tennessee than in most states. Tennessee does not publish full prize-tier counts, so unlike Florida or Texas we cannot calculate a payout percentage, the share of every dollar a game returns as prizes. That is usually the best measure of "winning the most," so without it the overall odds and the top prizes remaining carry more weight, and a couple of high-frequency games here rate only in the low 50s on value because their money sits in hard-to-reach top prizes.

The other thing to keep in mind is what a frequent win actually is. A game that pays 1 in 2.57 is handing back a lot of small prizes, often close to the ticket price, not a stream of bigger prizes. Winning often and winning big are different, which is the whole reason best odds and best value are not the same thing.
