The numbers behind it
- 🛑 5 of the 80 games tracked here have had every top prize claimed and are still on sale.
- ⏳ Half of them have been on sale at least 39 days since the lottery's own data first showed no top prize left.
- 📅 5 have been on sale at least 30 days since then.
- 🕰️ The longest: Celebrate 2026 in California, at least 39 days.
- 🏆 The largest prize nobody can win any more is $7.5M, and the advertised top prizes on this list add up to $17M that is already gone.
- 💸 The dearest ticket on the list still costs $25, the same as it did when its jackpot was available.

What this means at the counter
A California game on this list can still pay its smaller prizes, and it still has the overall odds it was printed with — those describe the whole run, including every prize already claimed. What it cannot do is pay the prize on the poster. The lottery is not required to pull it, and generally does not.

What this does not say
That the other 75 games are worth buying. Every scratch game returns less than it takes in, and a full prize ladder does not change that. This tells you which tickets can no longer pay what they advertise.
