* Approximate odds are derived from the original game design using total tickets printed and prize counts. They match the “1 in X” style odds published by Michigan Lottery and do not change as prizes are claimed.
** Estimated odds remaining use our model of tickets still in circulation and the current prize counts. These are unofficial estimates meant to show how the game looks today, not guaranteed chances of winning.
Key GoldBlue Definitions
- Heat score (0–100): A combined rating of remaining prize value, prize distribution, and difficulty. Higher scores suggest stronger remaining value compared to similar games.
- Play grade: A simple letter grade summarizing overall value vs. risk based on the remaining prize pool.
- Prize value remaining %: The share of the original prize money that still appears to be in circulation based on published prize counts.
- Approx. odds (by tier): “1 in X” odds based on the original print run and prize counts. These are fixed for the life of the game and line up with the official odds style.
- Estimated odds remaining: A live model that divides our estimate of tickets still in circulation by the number of prizes still listed for each tier. These numbers change as games sell and prizes are reported.
- Why can “estimated odds remaining” look worse over time? As big prizes are claimed, fewer top-tier winners are left compared to the number of tickets still in circulation. Our model reflects that by showing tougher “1 in X” estimates for the best prizes, even when the official printed odds and the overall prize value remaining still look solid.
- Value score (per prize tier): A 0–100 scale showing how attractive each prize tier looks compared to other tiers in the same game. Scores near 0.0 usually mean that tier is standard or weak value, not that the data is broken.
- Estimated tickets printed / sold: Calculated from overall odds and the number of winning tickets that existed at launch. These are modelled estimates, not official print runs.
- Expected return per $100: A long-term average based on the remaining prize pool and estimated tickets still in circulation. You can still lose your entire stake even when the expected return is high.
Data & accuracy disclaimer: All calculations on this page are based on publicly available Michigan Lottery data and our own models. Numbers are estimates only and may change without notice. There is always a chance of losing on any ticket, even when the stats look strong.
Odds & Value FAQ
Do the odds change as prizes are claimed?
The official odds printed on each ticket are based on the original game design and do not change over time. Our “Approx. odds” column reflects this fixed math, not live ticket sales.
What is the difference between Approx. odds and Est. odds remaining?
Approx. odds show the long-term “1 in X” odds from the full print run. Est. odds remaining use our model of tickets still in circulation and today’s prize counts to show how the game looks right now. The second number is helpful for comparison, but it is not an official Michigan Lottery figure.
Can these numbers guarantee I will win?
No. All of these metrics are averages across millions of tickets. You can still win big on a weak-looking game or lose money on a strong-looking game. Always treat scratch-offs as entertainment and set a firm budget before you play.
Where does your data come from?
We pull prize and odds data from public Michigan Lottery sources and refresh it regularly. When numbers change or a game ends, our charts update on the next feed refresh.
