Estimates. No lottery publishes sales by game, so tickets sold are estimated from ScratchCheck's daily record of the New York Lottery's prize counts: prizes reported claimed each week times the game's overall odds (one winning ticket per that many sold). Claims trail sales by days. Games launched in the last 4 weeks are left out of the ranking, because launch weeks always sell fastest, and are marked Hot when they already outsell the #5 game.

ScratchCheck calculates a ValueScore of 0 to 100 for every active New York scratch-off. The rating weighs four factors: Expected Value, Prize Quality, Win Frequency, and Inventory Health. A score of 80 or above is Excellent, 60 to 79 is Good, 40 to 59 is Fair, and below 40 is Poor. The top-rated game in New York right now is the $5,000,000 SPECTACULAR with a score of 91.

How does the Budget & Goal Optimizer rank New York scratch-offs?
The optimizer takes a budget and a goal (Breakeven, Jackpot Chase, or Best EV) and re-ranks all active New York games that cost at or below your budget. Breakeven ranks by the per-ticket probability of winning back at least the ticket price, using published prize odds. Jackpot Chase ranks by expected top-prize dollars per $1 spent, using remaining top prizes and remaining tickets. Best EV ranks by published expected value per dollar. Games with missing inputs sort last. Rankings update live as you move the budget slider.
