Questions

Has a top prize been claimed on a Iowa scratch-off recently?

Yes. In the last 30 days the Iowa lottery's published data showed 20 top prizes of $25K or more claimed. The largest was $500K on 500X, first shown on October 24, 2026.

Which Iowa scratch-offs have no top prize left?

None right now: every Iowa scratch-off this site tracks still has at least one top prize left.

How current is this news?

Each story is written when the Iowa 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.
