North Carolina · Top Prizes Remaining

Ranks games by the number of top-tier prizes that have not yet been claimed. A game can start with ten top prizes and drop to zero mid-run. Once they're gone, the top prize you see advertised is not actually claimable. This ranking helps you find games where the top prize is still realistically on the table.

The $100,000 Cash Payday ($30) currently ranks first with overall odds of 1 in 3.49 (ValueScore 80 of 100). Prize payout is 77.9%. 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.

Game data for North Carolina is refreshed from official sources 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 update.

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.

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.
