Odds don't tell you what's left to win
Overall odds are printed on the ticket and never change for the life of the game, even after every top prize has been claimed. A New Mexico game can still show great odds when the biggest prizes are long gone. ValueScore™ updates daily as prizes are won, so it reflects what is actually still in the game, not just how it looked at launch.

Frequently Asked Questions
What does the Best Overall Odds ranking measure?
Games are ranked by overall odds of winning any prize, based on the official odds published by the lottery. Lower "1 in N" is better. Overall odds cover every prize tier, including small wins, so games with strong overall odds aren't necessarily the ones with big jackpots.
Which New Mexico scratch-off is currently #1 for best overall odds?
The MYSTERY CROSSWORD ($10) currently ranks first with overall odds of 1 in 2.92 (ValueScore 68 of 100). Prize payout is 60.5%. 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 New Mexico 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.
How should I pick between the top few games in New Mexico?
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.
