Winner map

Where winners were sold.

Every claimed prize the lottery publishes with a store, plotted by where the ticket was bought.

What changed

The board, operated on.

Games down to their last top prize, top prizes just claimed, new games and big jackpots, straight from today's data.

Value board

What a $1 really buys back.

Estimated payback per dollar on every scratch-off, using the prizes still unclaimed.

Honest math: every ticket pays back less than it costs on average. A "best" game just loses less per dollar. Past winning stores aren't luckier; they usually just sell more tickets. Estimates assume unclaimed prizes are still unsold, which the lottery can't confirm.

Prizes left

What's still out there.

Every active scratch-off, its top prizes remaining and how much of the prize pool is left. Tap a column to sort.

Draw results

Latest numbers. Next jackpots.

Free tools

Four tools. All real data.

Work out a jackpot's real take-home, check old tickets against actual draws, find the stores with the most recent wins, and put scratch-offs side by side.

Tool 01 · Jackpot take-home

What would you actually keep?

Lump sum vs annuity after federal withholding, the extra federal tax due at the top bracket, and your state's tax.

Estimate, not tax advice. Real tax depends on your filing status, deductions, where you live (your home state can tax a ticket bought elsewhere), and local taxes like New York City's. Talk to a tax professional before you claim.

Tool 02 · Ticket checker

Did your old ticket win?

Enter your numbers and we'll check them against every real draw we have, newest first, with the prize tier for each match.

Tool 03 · Store finder

Winning stores near you.

Use your location or type a ZIP or city. Stores are ranked by how many $600+ prizes they sold and how big, from the official winners list.

Honest note: a store that sold winners isn't luckier. Every ticket's result is fixed when it's printed, and busy stores sell more winners simply because they sell more tickets.

Tool 04 · Scratch-off compare

Two to four games, side by side.

Price, odds, top prize, how many top prizes are left, how much of the prize pool is left, and the estimated value per $1, all from the official prizes-remaining data.

Value per $1 is an estimate that assumes unclaimed prizes are still unsold. * = low-confidence: the game is near the end of its run.

How it works

Scan. Map. Alert.

01

We scan the data

Every morning we pull each state lottery's official prizes-remaining, winners and draw data. Nothing is guessed. If a state doesn't publish it, we say so.

02

We map the winners

Claimed prizes with a store get plotted by where the ticket was sold, so you can see what's hitting near you and which games still have big prizes left.

03

You get the alert

When a game drops to its last top prize, a big win is sold nearby or a new game launches, you hear about it first.

Coverage

State by state.

Gold states have live data loaded. The rest are coming soon as we connect each lottery's official feeds.

FAQ

Quick answers

Where does the data come from?

Each state lottery's own published data: prizes-remaining reports, winner lists and draw results. Each state page lists its sources and when they were last updated. Lotteries update on their own schedules, so a prize can be claimed before it shows here.

Does a store that sold a winner sell more winners?

No. Every ticket's outcome is set when it's printed. Stores with lots of winners usually just sell lots of tickets. The map shows where wins happened, not where they will.

What does "value per $1" mean?

It's the estimated average amount paid back for each dollar spent, based on the prizes still unclaimed. It's always under $1. Use it to compare games, not to expect a profit.

Why is my state "coming soon"?

We only show real, official numbers. Some lotteries don't publish winner locations or full prize tables, or we haven't connected their feed yet. We'd rather show nothing than make something up.

Is Lotto Surgeon part of the lottery?

No. We're independent and not affiliated with, endorsed by, or connected to any state lottery or MUSL. Always confirm winning numbers and prize status with your official state lottery.
