SMART PICKS

Know which tickets have the best odds right now

Smart Picks ranks every active scratch ticket using a Value Score — the total remaining prize money divided by ticket price. A higher score means more prize dollars are still up for grabs per dollar you spend.

Browse the top 10 by value, the biggest jackpots still in play, the slowest-depleting games, and the newest releases — all in one place. Stop guessing and start picking with data.

How Smart Picks work: We calculate a Value Score for each active ticket based on prizes still unclaimed, top prize availability, ticket price, and (when data exists) depletion rate. The slower prizes deplete, the better your odds relative to others buying tickets.

How Scratch Ticket Prize Data Works

Every scratch ticket sold in Canada is part of a fixed print run — a set number of tickets, each with a predetermined prize distribution. Unlike draw-based lotteries, scratch ticket prizes are allocated in advance and reduce as tickets are redeemed. Canada's four major lottery corporations — WCLC, BCLC, OLG, and Loto-Quebec — all publish remaining prize counts publicly on their websites, updated regularly as tickets are claimed.

Scratchers Edge pulls this data for every active ticket across all four provinces and territories, tracking it over time. The result is a dashboard that shows you not just which prizes remain today, but how quickly they're being depleted — week over week. A ticket where the top prize hasn't moved in months is a fundamentally different buy than one where it's disappearing fast. That difference is invisible if you're just looking at a ticket on a rack.

This site covers scratch tickets from WCLC (Alberta, Saskatchewan, Manitoba, and the territories), BCLC (British Columbia), OLG (Ontario), and Loto-Quebec (Quebec). Prize data is sourced directly from each lottery corporation's public website and updated regularly. Scratchers Edge is independent and not affiliated with any lottery corporation.

Frequently Asked Questions

Scratchers Edge tracks live remaining prizes for every active scratch lottery ticket across Canada — WCLC, BCLC, OLG, and Loto-Quebec — updated daily. Switch between lottery regions using the tabs at the top. You can see current odds of winning each prize tier, how many unclaimed prizes are left, and how quickly prizes are disappearing — all before you buy.
The dashboard's Smart Picks section highlights tickets where top prizes are still unclaimed for your selected lottery region. Scratchers Edge covers WCLC (AB, SK, MB, YT, NT, NU), BCLC (BC), OLG (ON), and Loto-Quebec (QC) — browse all active tickets and filter by prize status to find games with remaining jackpots.
Printed odds on scratch lottery tickets are set at launch and quickly go stale — they don't reflect how many prizes have already been claimed. Scratchers Edge shows you updated remaining-prize data for WCLC, BCLC, OLG, and Loto-Quebec so you can see if the top prize is still out there. Overall odds typically range from 1 in 3 to 1 in 5 depending on the game.
To check if a scratch ticket is a winner, use your lottery corporation's mobile app to scan the barcode (WCLC, BCLC, OLG, and Loto-Quebec all have apps), or take it to any authorized retailer for validation. Scratchers Edge helps you before you buy — use it to see which scratch lottery tickets across Canada still have the best unclaimed prizes and winning odds.
