How ScratchPulse Ranks North Carolina Scratch Tickets

ScratchPulse tracks active North Carolina scratch tickets using current NC Education Lottery prize data instead of relying only on the original posted odds. The goal is to help compare which scratch offs currently show stronger estimated value, current odds, and remaining prize availability.

  • Best Value rankings compare estimated return with ticket cost
  • Best Odds rankings compare the estimated chance of winning selected prize sizes
  • Remaining prize and top-prize data comes from lottery reporting

Rankings are estimates for comparison only. They do not predict individual results, and lottery outcomes are always random. Most scratch tickets still have negative expected value.
