Odds are the overall odds of winning any prize, as printed by the Maryland Lottery. Prize counts are as of October 30, 2026.
What the October 2026 list tells you
The best printed odds in Maryland this month belong to $5,000,000 LUXE (game #789), a $50 ticket at 1 in 2.50 to win any prize. When we refreshed the list, 2 of its 3 $5,000,000 top prizes were still unclaimed. $5,000,000 Fortune is next at 1 in 2.55.
The list runs from 1 in 2.50 to 1 in 2.84, against a median of 1 in 3.76 across all 99 active Maryland games. 10 of the 10 cost $20 or more. That's normal: lotteries print their higher-priced tickets with better overall odds, partly by packing them with small prizes that just return your money. No ticket under $20 made the top 10 this month.
The odds on the ticket never change, but the prizes left in a game do. Members get the odds we recalculate every day for all Maryland games, our rating for each one, and the full analysis behind it.

Maryland best-odds questions
- What Maryland scratch-off has the best odds right now?
- As of the October 2026 refresh, $5,000,000 LUXE (game #789, $50) has the best printed odds of any Maryland scratch-off that still has a top prize left: 1 in 2.50 to win any prize.
- How is this Maryland top 10 picked?
- We take every Maryland scratch-off on sale, remove any game whose top prizes have all been claimed, and sort the rest by the overall odds printed on the ticket. This month that meant 99 games, 1 set aside, and 98 ranked. The 10 with the best odds are listed here.
- How often is this list updated?
- On the 1st of every month. The next refresh is November 1, 2026. Prize counts on this page are as of the refresh date.
- Do more expensive Maryland scratch-offs have better odds?
- Usually, yes. 10 of this month's 10 cost $20 or more. Pricier tickets are printed with better overall odds, but a lot of those wins are small prizes that only return your money, so better odds don't always mean a better ticket.
- Are these the odds Savvy Scratch members see?
- No. This page uses the odds printed on the ticket, which never change. Members see odds we recalculate every day from the prizes and tickets that are actually left, plus our rating and full analysis for every Maryland game.
