What has been your biggest payout on a scratch-off winner? I once had a game piece that paid out $100, but usually any payouts I get are between $1 and $10. Some folks have scored some major payouts over the past few years. Earlier this year, someone in Wells won $100,000 on a scratch-off ticket. Likewise, a $25K winning ticket was purchased at the Brookshire Brothers Express in Hemphill. So, even though the odds are stacked against you, sooner or later, someone wins the big jackpot.

Two Tickets That Are Giving The Best Odds

If you're looking to win big scratch-off jackpots, these are the two games you should be looking for.

This $5 scratch-off ticket features 5 top payouts of $100,000, none of which have been won. Approximately 48% of this game's tickets have been purchased, meaning the odds of winning one of the jackpots have increased to around 91%. Granted, the chances of winning are 1 in 751,000, but that's much better than what it was (1 in 1.44 million).

This $10 scratch-off ticket features 6 top payouts of $250,000, none of which have been claimed. Approximately 30% of these game tickets have been purchased, increasing the odds of winning a top jackpot by 42%. Once again, the odds are only 1 in 945,000 of buying a $250,000 winning ticket, but you might as well go for the games that are giving you the best chances. This game also features 16 $10,000 winning tickets that remain unclaimed.
