Ranked by the odds printed on the ticket, and only games that still have a top prize left.
For October 2026, we started with all 39 Minnesota scratch-off games currently on sale, found that every one still had at least one top prize left, and ranked all 39 by the overall odds printed on the ticket. These are the 10 Minnesota tickets most likely to pay out something, and each still has a top prize to play for.
Odds are the overall odds of winning any prize, as printed by the Minnesota Lottery. Prize counts are as of October 30, 2026.
The best printed odds in Minnesota this month belong to Mystery Prize Crossword (game #2115), a $20 ticket at 1 in 2.76 to win any prize. When we refreshed the list, 3 of its 3 $300,000 top prizes were still unclaimed. It's tied on odds with Money, and wins the tiebreak as the cheaper ticket.
The list runs from 1 in 2.76 to 1 in 3.31, against a median of 1 in 3.69 across all 39 active Minnesota games. 7 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 $10 made the top 10 this month.
