What is ValueScore™?

ValueScore™ grades every scratch off from 0 to 100. Higher is better.

The odds printed on a ticket only tell you how often it wins something, and most of those wins are small prizes or a free ticket. ValueScore™ looks deeper. It also counts how much of your money the game pays back, how big the prizes really are, and how many top prizes are still unclaimed.

That is why the game with the best odds is not always the best buy. If the big prizes are already gone, the printed odds no longer tell the whole story. ValueScore™ catches that.

Newer games typically have the full prize pool intact, so top prize availability and win frequency are at their highest.

How does ScratchCheck rank Illinois scratch-offs?

ScratchCheck calculates a ValueScore of 0 to 100 for every active Illinois scratch-off. The rating weighs four factors: Expected Value, Prize Quality, Win Frequency, and Inventory Health. A score of 80 or above is Excellent, 60 to 79 is Good, 40 to 59 is Fair, and below 40 is Poor. The top-rated game in Illinois right now is the $3 Million Vault with a score of 95. Scores change automatically as prizes are claimed, so a highly-rated game today may drop next week if top prizes run out.

Five-dollar tickets typically offer better prize structures than $1 or $2 tickets, with higher top prizes and more prize tiers. Check the $5 filter on the Illinois page to compare all active $5 games side by side.

How does the Budget & Goal Optimizer rank Illinois scratch-offs?

The optimizer takes a budget and a goal (Breakeven, Jackpot Chase, or Best EV) and re-ranks all active Illinois games that cost at or below your budget. Breakeven ranks by the per-ticket probability of winning back at least the ticket price, using published prize odds. Jackpot Chase ranks by expected top-prize dollars per $1 spent, using remaining top prizes and remaining tickets. Best EV ranks by published expected value per dollar. Games with missing inputs sort last. Rankings update live as you move the budget slider.

How often is Illinois scratch-off data updated on ScratchCheck?

ScratchCheck pulls odds and prize data directly from the official Illinois Lottery and refreshes it daily, so the remaining-prize counts and odds you see match the lottery's latest published figures.
