Ohio · Best ValueScore™ Scratch-Offs

Last updated October 19, 2026

Ohio's #1 scratch-off right now is Millionaire Blowout with a ValueScore™ of 95/100. ValueScore™ combines expected value, prize quality, win frequency, and inventory health into a single 0 to 100 rating, updated daily.

76 active Ohio scratch off games are scored, with 5 rated Excellent (80 or above) and 21 rated Good (60 to 79). Statewide average ValueScore is 48.3.
Score bands: 80+ Excellent · 60 to 79 Good · 40 to 59 Fair · below 40 Below Average.
Why not just use the odds printed on the ticket?

Printed odds are set the day a game ships and never change, but the game itself does. Every week tickets sell and prizes get claimed, and the ticket can't tell you any of that. ValueScore™ re-scores every Ohio game from live prize data, so it knows when the top prizes are already gone from a game that still advertises great odds, and when a quiet game is sitting on all of its big prizes. Higher is better; details below the table.

How ValueScore is built

Most people judge a scratch off by two numbers: the overall odds printed on the ticket, and maybe how many prizes are left. Both are easy to read, and both mislead on their own. Overall odds only tell you how often any prize hits, and most of those are break-even reprints. A ticket can advertise 1 in 3 and still be a bad buy once the prizes worth winning are gone. Remaining-prize countshave the opposite blind spot: “400 prizes left” means nothing without the price, the odds, and how many of the top prizes are actually still in the pool.

ValueScore reads all of it at once and rates what those two numbers can’t see on their own. It blends the four signals that actually decide whether a ticket is worth buying, which is why our top pick in Ohio often looks nothing like the game with the flashiest odds:

  • Expected Value (weighted most heavily). Published per-ticket return across the full prize structure, not just the headline odds.
  • Prize Quality. How much of the payout sits in prizes worth winning versus tiny break-even reprints.
  • Win Frequency. Your probability of any prize per ticket.
  • Inventory Health. Top prizes still unclaimed versus tickets remaining. This is the one the ticket can’t show you: a game with great printed odds whose jackpots are already gone. (Exact weighting is proprietary.)

Scores recompute after every successful Ohio 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 Ohio scratch-off by ScratchCheck ValueScore, a 0 to 100 composite that weighs 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. ValueScore updates as prizes are claimed, so the top pick can shift week to week.
Which Ohio scratch-off is currently #1 for best valuescore™ scratch-offs?
The Millionaire Blowout ($50) currently ranks first with overall odds of 1 in 2.73 (ValueScore 95 of 100). Prize payout is 81.7%. 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 Ohio 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 Ohio?
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.
