Question 1

How often is Illinois scratch-off data updated?

Accepted Answer

We work to keep scratch-off prize data aligned with official public lottery sources as they update. The last sync timestamp is shown on each state page.

Question 2

Where does Illinois remaining-prize data come from?

Accepted Answer

We rely on Illinois Lottery official remaining-prizes data. We map and sort what the lottery publishes — we do not estimate remaining prizes.

Question 3

What does percentage of top prizes left mean?

Accepted Answer

It is the ratio of remaining top-tier prizes to the original top-tier prize pool for that game. A higher percentage means more of the largest advertised prizes are still unclaimed according to official records.
