ScratchCheck calculates a ValueScore of 0 to 100 for every active Montana 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 Montana right now is the Prime Time Slingo Trio with a score of 55. Scores change automatically as prizes are claimed, so a highly-rated game today may drop next week if top prizes run out.

The optimizer takes a budget and a goal (Breakeven, Jackpot Chase, or Best EV) and re-ranks all active Montana 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.

Montana publishes official overall odds and prize amounts, but it does not publish prize inventory (how many of each prize were printed or how many remain). Because of that, the number of top prizes left and prize-inventory scoring aren't available for Montana. The odds and prize figures shown are official, not estimated.

Montana scratch-off data is updated 2 to 3 times per week from official Montana Lottery publications. Odds and prize amounts are official; Montana does not publish prize inventory (remaining/total counts), so those metrics are unavailable.
