Estimates. No lottery publishes sales by game, so tickets sold are estimated from ScratchCheck's daily record of the Maryland Lottery's prize counts: prizes reported claimed each week times the game's overall odds (one winning ticket per that many sold). Claims trail sales by days. Games launched in the last 4 weeks are left out of the ranking, because launch weeks always sell fastest, and are marked Hot when they already outsell the #5 game.

Which Maryland scratch-off has the best odds of winning?
The 30X Cash ($30) currently has the best overall odds in Maryland at 1 in 2.83. The state average across all 90 active Maryland scratch-offs is 1 in 4, so this ticket gives you significantly better odds than a typical game. It carries a ValueScore of 93 out of 100.

What are the newest scratch-off games in Maryland?
The most recently released Maryland scratch-off games are Cozy Cash ($1, released October 16, 2026); Season's Greetings ($2, released October 16, 2026); and Peppermint Payout ($3, released October 16, 2026). Release dates come directly from official Maryland Lottery publications when available. Newer games typically have the full prize pool intact, so top prize availability and win frequency are at their highest.
How does ScratchCheck rank Maryland scratch-offs?
ScratchCheck calculates a ValueScore of 0 to 100 for every active Maryland 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 Maryland right now is the 30X Cash with a score of 93. Scores change automatically as prizes are claimed, so a highly-rated game today may drop next week if top prizes run out.
What is the best $5 scratch-off in Maryland?
Among $5 tickets in Maryland, the Deluxe Crossword currently has the best overall odds at 1 in 3.45 with a ValueScore of 68 out of 100. 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 Maryland page to compare all active $5 games side by side.
How does the Budget & Goal Optimizer rank Maryland scratch-offs?
The optimizer takes a budget and a goal (Breakeven, Jackpot Chase, or Best EV) and re-ranks all active Maryland 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 Maryland scratch-off data updated on ScratchCheck?
ScratchCheck pulls odds and prize data directly from the official Maryland Lottery and refreshes it daily, so the remaining-prize counts and odds you see match the lottery's latest published figures.
