Can I use remaining prizes to pick the best Connecticut scratch ticket?
Not by itself—this is a common mistake that costs players thousands of dollars. Remaining prizes data is essential, but it only tells half the story. Here's why: Game A might have 50% of prizes remaining while Game B only has 10% remaining. Most people assume Game A is better—but if Game A has 10 million tickets left and Game B only has 100,000 tickets left, Game B actually has far better odds. You need THREE pieces of data to calculate real odds: (1) remaining prizes (shown above), (2) estimated tickets still in circulation (NOT published by Connecticut Lottery), and (3) your budget. ScratchOdds calculates all of this automatically and shows you the actual probability of winning based on how much you're spending. Some games with only 10% of prizes left have 1,000x better odds than games with 90% of prizes left—you'd never know this from remaining prizes alone.
Which Connecticut scratch tickets still have big prizes left?
Currently, Connecticut has 52 active scratch tickets (scratch-off games) with prizes ranging from $1 to $50 tickets. The biggest prize still available is $2.4M. Most games still have top prizes available. Use the table above to see exactly which games have their grand prizes, top prizes, and major wins still unclaimed. Look for games with high percentages of prizes remaining—these haven't been heavily played yet.
Are Connecticut Scratch Tickets the same as scratch-offs?
Yes — Connecticut scratch tickets and Connecticut scratch-offs are the same thing: a paper lottery ticket you scratch to reveal whether it wins. The Connecticut Lottery lists them under "Scratch Games" on its own site. "Scratch Tickets" is simply what most players in Connecticut call them, while "scratch-off" and "scratch ticket" are the terms used in other states. Every game ranked on this page is the same physical ticket, whichever name you use for it.
How often are Connecticut lottery scratch tickets remaining prizes updated?
We update Connecticut lottery scratch tickets remaining prizes data daily by pulling official data from the Connecticut Lottery website. The page shows exactly when data was last synced (see "Updated X hours ago" at the top), so you always know how fresh the information is. This daily tracking ensures you never buy tickets from a game that's already had all its top prizes claimed.
Why should I check remaining prizes before buying Connecticut scratch tickets?
Many lottery scratch-off games continue selling tickets even after all major prizes have been claimed. If you buy a $20 ticket from a game where the jackpot is already gone, you're playing at a massive disadvantage—you literally cannot win the advertised top prize. Checking remaining prizes helps you avoid these "dead" games and focus on tickets where big wins are still possible.
What are remaining prizes for Connecticut scratch tickets?
Remaining prizes show exactly which top prizes, jackpots, and major wins are still available to win in each Connecticut scratch-off game. When the Connecticut Lottery prints scratch-off tickets, they include a set number of prizes at each tier. As people buy tickets and claim prizes, those prizes are removed from the pool. For example, a game might start with 4 prizes of $1,000,000, but if 2 have been claimed, only 2 remain. ScratchOdds tracks which prizes are left so you can avoid games where all the top prizes have already been claimed.
How is this different from the Connecticut Lottery website?
The Connecticut Lottery website publishes raw remaining prize data, but it's spread across multiple confusing pages and difficult to interpret. ScratchOdds organizes this data into a clean, sortable table showing all 52 games at once. You can instantly see which games have the most top prizes left, filter by ticket price ($1-$50), sort by various criteria, and compare games side-by-side—turning hours of manual research into 30 seconds. Plus, we highlight new games (9 currently) and games ending soon.
What information can I see about Connecticut scratch tickets remaining prizes?
For each of the 52 active Connecticut scratch tickets, you can see: exact number of remaining prizes by tier (grand prizes, top prizes, mid-tier prizes), percentage of original prizes still available, ticket price ($1-$50), game name and image, start/end dates, and when the data was last updated. You can sort by highest top prize, most prizes left, price, or game name. Filter by ticket price to find games in your budget. Games are color-coded to show prize availability at a glance.
Should I buy a Connecticut scratch ticket with no top prizes left?
Generally, no. If a game's top prizes are all claimed, you're playing for significantly smaller wins and worse odds. However, some games without grand prizes might still have good odds for mid-tier prizes ($500-$10K). The best approach is to use ScratchOdds app, which calculates your actual probability of winning based on ALL remaining prizes and tickets left, not just the advertised odds. This shows you which games are actually worth playing, even if some top prizes are gone.
How do I use remaining prizes data to pick better tickets?
Start by avoiding games with 0% remaining on top prizes—these are "dead" games. Look for games where top-tier prizes still have a high percentage remaining (60%+ is ideal)—these games haven't been heavily played yet and still offer the advertised jackpots. New games (marked with 🆕) are great options since all prizes are still available. However, more prizes left doesn't always mean better odds. For the best results, combine this remaining prizes data with the ScratchOdds app's odds calculator (on the main Connecticut page), which factors in both remaining prizes AND tickets left to calculate your actual probability of winning. The app ranks all games and tells you exactly which ticket gives you the best chance based on YOUR budget and goals.
How do I check if my Connecticut scratch ticket is a winner?
To check a ticket you already bought, use the official Connecticut Lottery channels: most state lotteries include a ticket scanner in their official mobile app, any authorized retailer can scan it on their terminal, and the winning numbers and prize tables are published at https://www.ctlottery.org. ScratchOdds does not scan tickets — there is no barcode reader here, and we cannot tell you whether a ticket in your hand won. What we scan is the Connecticut Lottery's prize data, before you buy: which of the 52 active games still have their top prizes, and what the odds are now that some have been claimed. A scanner tells you whether you already won. This page tells you which ticket to buy next.
How do I tell which Connecticut scratch tickets still have prizes left?
1. Decide what winning means to you before you compare anything. No scratch ticket is good or bad on its own — it is good for one outcome and usually poor for another. The same Connecticut game can sit near the top of the state for winning back your money and near the bottom for winning $100,000. This page ranks by the largest prizes still unclaimed, which is the right view if you are playing for a jackpot rather than to break even. 2. Use odds from prizes and tickets left, not the odds printed on the ticket. Printed odds are fixed the day a game launches and never change. Real odds are the prizes still unclaimed divided by the tickets still out there, and both move daily as the game sells — which is why a Connecticut scratch ticket can be worth buying one week and not the next with nothing on the ticket changing. Doing this by hand means recalculating it for all 52 active Connecticut games every day. 3. Check the odds for the prize amount you are actually after. Odds to win any prize and odds to win $1,000 are different numbers on the same scratch ticket, and a game can be strong at one and weak at the other. Look up the odds for your target specifically — $50, $100, $500, $1,000, $5,000 and up — rather than assuming good overall odds carry over to the prize you care about. 4. Check which grand prizes are still unclaimed. A Connecticut scratch ticket whose top prizes have all been won stays on the shelf at full price, and nothing on the ticket says so. What matters is the largest prize still available, not how many prizes remain in total — a game can have thousands of small prizes left and no jackpot. 5. Or read it off a ranking that already did the maths. ScratchOdds recomputes all of the above for every one of the 52 active Connecticut games each day from official Connecticut Lottery data — odds per prize tier, odds to break even, odds to win $50 through $5M, current payout and grand prizes left — then ranks the games by whichever outcome you picked in step one. The ranking on this page is that answer for the biggest prizes still unclaimed. The app adds your budget, working out how many of which ticket to buy.
