Partial prize data
Most lotteries publish, for every prize tier, how many prizes existed and how many are still unclaimed. A few publish remaining counts only for their top prizes. Pages for those states carry a Partial data tag. This page says, state by state, what is the lottery’s number and what is ours.
The one method we use
Published numbers are always shown as published. For a tier the lottery does not report, we take the share of the published top prizes that have already been claimed and apply it to that tier:
claimed share = claimed top prizes ÷ total top prizes estimated left = tier total × (1 − claimed share)
The estimate is only as good as the published tiers behind it. If a game’s published tiers cover fewer than 20 prizes in total there is no usable signal, and the game is left off the rankings rather than guessed at. No fixed assumption about sales ever stands in for missing data, and every state below uses this same method. The rest of the math is on the methodology page.

Partial data since October 6, 2026
- The lottery publishes
- Every game’s full prize structure (each tier’s value and how many prizes it started with) and the overall odds, on the game pages. Remaining counts only for each game’s top three or four tiers, in a daily "Top Prizes Remaining" sheet.
- We estimate
- Remaining counts for every tier below the published ones, from the share of the published top prizes already claimed. The published tiers are shown exactly as the lottery reports them.
