What top-prize odds means

Top-prize odds are the chance that a ticket bought today is one of the remaining top-prize winners, from unclaimed top prizes against tickets we estimate remain.

Who this list is for. For players who only care about the biggest prize on the ticket.

Frequently asked questions

How is top-prize odds calculated?
Top-prize odds are the chance that a ticket bought today is one of the remaining top-prize winners, from unclaimed top prizes against tickets we estimate remain.
Who should use the top-prize odds ranking?
For players who only care about the biggest prize on the ticket. These odds are in the millions for most games; small differences between games are real but do not change the fact that you will almost certainly not win it.
Which California game is #1 on top-prize odds today?
$100 or $200 (#1687, $20) on September 12, 2026. The bottom of the list is $5,000,000 Superstar (#1709, $20).
How current are these numbers?
They come from California Lottery prize figures captured on September 12, 2026 and are recomputed daily. Rankings move when prizes are claimed, especially large ones.
