OLG Scratch Tickets: Remaining Prizes and Payout
Payout and overall odds for OLG scratch tickets from the official fact sheets, and the top prizes still unclaimed in the latest OLG report, with its date.
A $2 ticket returns $1.26 on average, counted over all 2,652,000 tickets printed. Most wins are small: the chance of a prize of at least the ticket price is lower than the chance of “any prize”.
Top prizes still unclaimed (October 29, 2026)
On what is left, the payout is about 62.91% ($1.26 a ticket) instead of 62.96% at launch.
Assumptions: tickets in stores are estimated from the share of reported prizes still unclaimed (77.0% of the print run); prizes missing from the report are left in the same share; unclaimed is not the same as unsold.
