Questions
Has a top prize been claimed on a California scratch-off recently?
Yes. In the last 30 days the California lottery's published data showed 28 top prizes of $25K or more claimed. The largest was $10M on 200X, first shown on October 30, 2026.
Which California scratch-offs have no top prize left?
5 California scratch-offs are on sale with every top prize already claimed, including Celebrate 2026, $5,000,000 Superstar, Instant Prize Crossword. They still pay their smaller prizes, but cannot pay the prize on the poster.
How current is this news?
Each story is written when the California lottery's own published prize data changes, which this site reads several times a day. Lotteries publish with a lag, so a change can trail the actual claim by a day or more, and the data never says who claimed a prize or where.
Does a claimed top prize make a ticket a better or worse buy?
A game with no top prize left can no longer pay what it advertises, which is worth knowing before you buy. But no scratch-off is a good bet: every game returns less than it takes in, whatever is left in it.
