How ValueScore is built
ValueScore blends the four signals that actually decide whether a scratch off is worth buying. No single published metric captures all of them, which is why two games with the same overall odds can score very differently.
- Expected Value (40%). Published per-ticket return across the full prize structure.
- Prize Quality (25%). Share of payout in meaningful tiers, not tiny reprints.
- Win Frequency (20%). Probability of any prize per ticket.
- Inventory Health (15%). Top prizes remaining versus tickets remaining.
Scores recompute after every successful Maryland scrape, so a game listed at the top last week may have moved. See the national ValueScore ranking for cross-state context.
Frequently Asked Questions
What does the Best ValueScore™ Scratch-Offs ranking measure?
This page ranks Maryland scratch-off by ScratchCheck ValueScore, a 0 to 100 composite that weighs Expected Value (40%), Prize Quality (25%), Win Frequency (20%), and Inventory Health (15%). A score of 80 or above is Excellent, 60 to 79 is Good, 40 to 59 is Fair, and below 40 is Poor. ValueScore updates as prizes are claimed, so the top pick can shift week to week.
Which Maryland scratch-off is currently #1 for best valuescore™ scratch-offs?
The $5,000,000 LUXE ($50) currently ranks first with overall odds of 1 in 2.50 (ValueScore 95 of 100). Prize payout is 78.8%. Rankings update automatically as prize counts change, so the top pick can move. Open the game page for the full prize-tier breakdown and remaining counts.
How often does this ranking update?
Game data for Maryland is re-scraped on a daily schedule. Whenever remaining-prize counts change, ValueScore and every dependent ranking are recomputed automatically. The "updated daily" stamp on the page reflects the most recent successful scrape.
How should I pick between the top few games in Maryland?
Rankings are a starting point, not a verdict. Two tickets that sit next to each other often differ on a dimension the headline metric ignores: price, top-prize size, or remaining inventory. Use the Budget & Goal Optimizer or the side-by-side Compare tool to weigh Breakeven probability, Jackpot Chase value, or published EV against your actual spend and goal.
Are these values official or estimated?
ScratchCheck uses official published odds and prize counts wherever the state makes them available. A small number of states publish only limited prize breakdowns; for those games ScratchCheck estimates Expected Value and related metrics from industry price-point averages and flags them with an "~Est." tag next to the number. Official figures always take precedence.
