What the October 2026 list tells you
The best printed odds in New Jersey this month belong to Jackpot Millions (game #1941), a $30 ticket at 1 in 3.40 to win any prize. When we refreshed the list, 2 of its 3 $3,000,000* top prizes were still unclaimed. It's tied on odds with Crossword Xtreme, and wins the tiebreak as the lower game number.
The list runs from 1 in 3.40 to 1 in 3.61, against a median of 1 in 4.22 across all 134 active New Jersey games. 9 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.
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 New Jersey games, our rating for each one, and the full analysis behind it.

- How is this New Jersey top 10 picked?
