📖 How the Ranking Score is Calculated
Each game receives a composite score from 0–100 built from four weighted components. The final score determines the daily rankings.
True EV from Prize Tiers (25%)
Rather than estimating EV from aggregate prize pool ÷ estimated tickets, we compute EV exactly: sum of (prize_amount × 1/odds_denom) for every tier in the prize table, minus ticket price. No estimation — this uses the exact printed odds per tier.
Mid-Tier Value (15%)
EV from prizes in the $100–$10,000 range — prizes players can realistically win. A game where the $500 tier (1-in-39) and $100 tier (1-in-5) are 88%+ intact is far more valuable day-to-day than one where only unclaimed $25M jackpots drive the EV number.
Jackpot Access (20%)
True probability of winning a top prize, summed directly from each top tier's odds_denom — no estimation. Multiplied by an availability factor (jackpot % ÷ 50%) so a game with 19% jackpots left can't rank highly even if its absolute odds look good.
Tier Consistency (10%)
Standard deviation of per-tier depletion rates. If every tier is ~88% remaining, the game is depleting uniformly — healthy signal. If the jackpot tier is 20% remaining but small-prize tiers are 95% intact, that means prize hunters targeted it — the best value is already gone.
Game Freshness (20%)
Overall prizes remaining with a ^1.5 power curve. A game at 20% fresh scores 0.089; a 90% fresh game scores 0.854. The curve penalises stale games hard below 40% while barely affecting very fresh games.
Win Odds (10%)
Overall 1-in-X win frequency, now derived from per-tier probability sums when not in stored data. Normalized from 1-in-10 (worst) to 1-in-2 (best). Rewards games where you're likely to win something — important for casual players who value frequency over jackpot size.
Hard Jackpot Penalties
<15% jackpots remaining → score ×0.50; <25% → ×0.70; <40% → ×0.88. These gates prevent depleted games from cracking the top 5 regardless of other scores. >80% remaining → ×1.05 bonus for very fresh pools.

How is the overall score calculated?
Each game gets a score from 0–100 built from six factors: True EV (25%), Mid-Tier Prize Value (15%), Jackpot Access (20%), Tier Consistency (10%), Game Freshness (20%), and Win Odds (10%). All six use exact per-tier prize table data — not estimates. Hard penalties apply for games with <40% of jackpots remaining. See the score breakdown inside any expanded pick card for the exact contribution of each component.
What does expected value (EV) mean for a scratch-off?
EV is the average return per ticket from the current remaining prize pool. A ticket with EV −$1.50 on a $10 game returns $8.50 on average (losing $1.50). All scratch-offs have negative EV by design, but some are much less negative than others. We rank so you find the best relative value.
Do Florida scratch-off odds change over time?
The overall 1-in-X odds printed on the ticket are fixed at launch. However, the probability of hitting a top prize changes daily as jackpots are claimed. A game with 1 jackpot left out of 10 original is mathematically much riskier than one with 9 of 10 still available — even though the printed odds look the same.
What does "freshness" mean?
Freshness is the percentage of total prizes still unclaimed. A 90% fresh game has nearly all its winners still in circulation. A 15% fresh game has most prizes gone — you're chasing very few remaining winners among mostly losing tickets. Higher freshness correlates with better real-world odds.
