For a long time this website only offered data for lottery scratchers tickets in Virginia. It’s where we live, it’s where we tested out our math. Now, we’ve added tools for you to explore the best scratchers odds in Arizona! Here you can find Arizona scratchers ranked by the best probability of winning a prize, using statistics from the Arizona Lottery website.
Just like with the Virginia scratch-off rankings, every day we gather data on the remaining prizes yet unclaimed posted on the official Arizona Lottery website. We crunch that data down to a ranking by scratcher games with the best probability of winning a prize, the most available prizes, and the highest expected value. You can read more about the methodology here.
You may think that your best shot at winning money are the high profile Arizona Lottery games like Mega Millions, Pick 3, or Powerball. But you’ll find much better odds of winning money if you buy a cluster of scratcher tickets, especially when picking games based on remaining prizes data.
The best strategy: buy as many tickets for one game recommended in “Max Tickets to Buy.” You’ll likely get you at least one winner! This number of tickets is two standard deviations from the mean, giving you a 98% chance of winning at least one prize, and maybe more.
Here’s a little tip for Arizona – if you buy Holiday Scratchers you can enter your losing tickets on the Arizona lottery site for another chance to win when they draw winners for bonus prizes. One of the eligible games is Candy Cane Crossword, which costs $3 per ticket. Even though it’s ranked at number 5 of all Arizona scratchers (as of this writing), if you buy the recommended 7 tickets you’ll likely get one winning prize and have 6 others to enter for a second chance prize drawing.
