Every active Ohio scratcher, ranked by the value left in it right now, based on prizes still unclaimed, not the printed odds. We re-rank when the lottery posts new claims.
Printed odds are set on day one and never change, but value does. As tickets sell and prizes get claimed, some games quietly become great buys and others become duds. We recompute each game's expected value from the prizes still in the field and rank the whole state, every day.
Full methodology →Right now it's the top-ranked game on this board. Rankings shift as prizes get claimed, so check the live list above rather than a static article.

Expected value: the long-run cents returned per dollar spent, computed from prizes still unclaimed. An 80% EV game returns $0.80 per $1 on average. Higher is better.
