Question 1

How does Scratch Better rank California scratch-offs?

Accepted Answer

We pull remaining-prize and overall-odds figures from official California Lottery feeds, then label each game Great, Okay, or Skip. That label is relative among games on sale now, not a promise you will profit.

Question 2

Which California scratch-off wins the most?

Accepted Answer

No single California scratch-off wins the most on every ticket. Each game's printed odds are fixed; what changes is which prizes are still unclaimed. This page lists every active game by official overall odds, each game page shows its prizes left, and the Scratch Better iOS app ranks them Great, Okay, or Skip from the full leftover mix.

Question 3

Are California $20 and $30 scratch-offs better than $1 tickets?

Accepted Answer

Higher-price games often publish stronger overall odds, but the best ticket still depends on which prizes are left. Check the ranked list for this state rather than picking by price alone.

Question 4

Is Scratch Better the official California Lottery website?

Accepted Answer

No. Scratch Better is an independent ranking app. We do not run the lottery and we do not sell tickets. Confirm numbers on the official California Lottery site.

Question 5

What is the difference between overall odds and remaining prizes?

Accepted Answer

Overall odds are the published chance any prize hits on a full print. Remaining prizes show how many of those prizes are still unclaimed. Both can move as tickets sell.

Question 6

How do I use Pro on the web?

Accepted Answer

Pro is sold on iPhone. Download Scratch Better, or sign in on /app with the same Apple or Google account you used in the App Store.
