What Colorado charges, and what you get for it
Higher-priced tickets almost always carry better overall odds and a higher payout rate, because the prize pool scales faster than the ticket price. This table is the state's own catalog, grouped by price.

How fast Colorado top prizes get claimed
We snapshot every game's remaining prize counts daily, so we can show depletion rather than just the current number. This counts the drop in top prizes remaining each month across 82 tracked games whose top prize is $10,000 or more, 62 claimed in total over the window. No other site publishes this.
Top prizes claimed per month. A game that launched mid-window only contributes claims recorded after its first snapshot, so its opening month reads low.
ValueScore spread across Colorado
Our ValueScore™ rates each game 0-100 on expected value, prize quality, win frequency and remaining inventory. Scores are ranked within the state, so a 60 in Colorado means good relative to what else is on the shelf here.
