    Frequently Asked Questions

    Everything you need to know about ScratchOdds

    What are the best South Dakota scratch-offs right now?
    The best South Dakota scratch-offs are the ones with the highest odds of winning back at least what you paid. The rankings above sort all 29 active South Dakota games by those odds, recalculated daily from official South Dakota Lottery remaining-prize data — so the top of the list changes as prizes get claimed. Pick your goal (break even, biggest prizes left, newest games) and your budget, and the order updates to match. This is different from the odds printed on the ticket, which never change and assume every prize is still available.
    Which South Dakota scratch-offs have the best odds?
    It depends which outcome you care about. For getting your money back, the "Breakeven" ranking above shows the games with the best odds of winning at least the ticket price — currently the strongest option in South Dakota is at the top of that list. For a shot at the largest prizes, the "Remaining Top Prizes" view reorders the same 29 games by what's still unclaimed. Ticket price matters too: South Dakota games run from $1 to $30, and cheaper tickets often have better breakeven odds while expensive ones carry the bigger jackpots.
    How do I check if a South Dakota scratch-off still has prizes left?
    Every game on this page shows its remaining prizes, updated daily from the South Dakota Lottery's own claim data. Right now every active South Dakota game still has its top prize unclaimed. The remaining-prizes page lists all of them side by side so you can see which games are worth playing before you buy, rather than after.
    How often is South Dakota scratch-off prize data updated?
    We pull South Dakota Lottery data every day and the page shows exactly when it last synced — see the "Updated" badge at the top. That matters because remaining prizes move constantly: a game that looks good today can lose its last top prize tomorrow, and the ticket's printed odds will never tell you. Rankings recalculate on every sync, so what you see here reflects the current state of each game rather than the day it launched.
    Where can I cash a winning South Dakota scratch-off?
    Smaller prizes can be claimed at any authorized South Dakota Lottery retailer — the same shops that sell the tickets. Above a certain amount you'll need to claim at a South Dakota Lottery district or claim office, or by mail, and the largest prizes usually have to be claimed in person. The exact cutoffs and the claim deadline are set by the South Dakota Lottery and change from time to time, so check their official site before travelling. Always sign the back of a winning ticket first — an unsigned ticket is a bearer instrument.
    How much do South Dakota scratch-offs cost?
    South Dakota currently sells scratch-offs from $1 up to $30. Higher-priced tickets advertise bigger top prizes, but they don't automatically give better odds — several South Dakota games at the lower end have stronger breakeven odds than the expensive ones. You can filter the rankings above by budget to compare only the tickets you'd actually buy, and each price point has its own page ranking just those games.
    How do I pick a good South Dakota scratch-off?
    1. Decide what winning means to you before you compare anything. No scratch-off is good or bad on its own — it is good for one outcome and usually poor for another. The same South Dakota game can sit near the top of the state for winning back your money and near the bottom for winning $100,000. This page opens on the odds of winning back at least what you paid; the goal picker switches it to a target prize amount or the biggest jackpots left. 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 South Dakota scratch-off 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 29 active South Dakota 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-off, 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 what the game still pays out per dollar. Add up every prize left in a game and divide by what it would cost to buy the tickets still out there. That is the game's current payout, and it is the closest thing to one number for whether value is still sitting in it. It falls as the big prizes get claimed, so a game can look healthy on prize counts — thousands of small prizes left, none of the big ones — and still be a poor buy. 5. Or read it off a ranking that already did the maths. ScratchOdds recomputes all of the above for every one of the 29 active South Dakota games each day from official South Dakota 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 South Dakota. The app adds your budget, working out how many of which ticket to buy.
