The Iowa lottery's own prizes-remaining data shows a top prize of $500K claimed on 500X, a $50 scratch-off. 4 of the 12 printed now remain.

The change appeared in the published data on October 24, 2026. Lotteries publish with a lag, so the prize itself may have been claimed a day or more earlier. The figures do not say who claimed it or where, and neither do we.

Overall odds on 500X are 1 in 4.33. They were fixed at printing and describe the whole run, including every prize already claimed.
