Easy, Fast, and Accurate We designed Pick‑A‑Ticket for you to use while standing in line at the checkout. No waiting for ads, no login required, and no complicated choices to figure out. What Pick-A-Ticket Does We source the official and latest information available from the state lotteries. Then, we analyze that data. We use some of the latest tech to compare each of the available games to each other. Our algorithms do thousands of calculations and check various criteria to rank the games. Depending on the state lottery's data updates, we may produce a ranked list several times a day. Current Rankings All scratch-off games are in a ranked order with the best game shown first. Simply swipe right for the next best game or use the "Unavailable" button if it isn't at your current location. You can also use the slider at the bottom of the page to quickly filter out games that cost more than you want to spend. For example, if you have $10 to spend and you don’t know if you should buy 1 $10 game or 5 $2 games? Stop guessing. Our algorithms have compared the games and found the better ones. Lottery Locations Want to find the nearest places to play the lottery? We've got you covered; simply open the map to find all the locations nearest to you. This feature is only in states where lottery retailer info is available. Purchase History Track how well you play the lottery. In just a couple of quick taps, you can keep up with all your wins. Accuracy We've been at this long before releasing this app to you. We are always refining our data models and algorithms to get you the best results. We confirm all our results each time we produce a ranked list for the app. Be rest assured that we have done all the challenging work for you! Dedicated to Getting It Right We built Pick‑A‑Ticket to make finding the best lottery games quick, easy, and fun. Those who choose to use our app are our customers, not advertisers.

Some scratch-offs still have all their top prizes. Others are picked clean — but stores keep selling them anyway. SmartScratcher shows you which is which. We track every active scratch-off in California, Florida, New York, North Carolina, Texas, and Oklahoma using official lottery data, then give every game a SmartScratcher Score so you can spot the good ones in seconds. Free to use. Premium ($2.99/month, 3-day free trial) unlocks the full Score and analysis for every game. — HOW IT WORKS — Every state lottery publishes how many prizes are left in each scratch-off game. What they DON'T publish is how many tickets are still out there — and without that, you can't tell a great game from a dead one. SmartScratcher does the math for you. We estimate the remaining tickets, calculate the current value of each game, and roll it all into a single SmartScratcher Score. Open the app, see what's worth playing today, and skip the games that have already paid out. — FREE FEATURES — - Browse every active scratch-off in CA, FL, NY, NC, TX, and OK - See ticket prices and remaining prize counts - Switch between states anytime - Updated daily from official state lottery data — PREMIUM FEATURES ($2.99/month) — - SmartScratcher Score — our proprietary rating that combines value, remaining tickets, and jackpot availability into one number - Smart Sort — best games to the top automatically - Game Temperature — quick hot/cold indicator - Pros & Cons — plain-English summary of what's good and bad about each game - Estimated Value — how much you're getting back per dollar at the current state - Estimated Tickets Remaining — the number nobody else gives you - Odds Trends — see if a game is improving or going downhill - Game Comparison — rank games at the same price point side-by-side - Detailed Odds Table — current odds vs. launch odds, every prize tier - Daily Summary — what changed overnight, delivered automatically — WHO THIS IS FOR — Regular scratch-off players who want to play smarter.

We're the friend who actually checks the prize sheet before walking up to the counter. — SUPPORTED STATES — California, Florida, New York, North Carolina, Texas, Oklahoma.

Verdict
The clearest difference is ads: Scratch Odds at none against Pick's shown. Scratch Odds also leads on update cadence (fortnightly vs every 2 months) and ratings volume (3 vs 1). Pick's advantage is iOS requirement (12.0 vs 17.5). On price, rating, in-app purchases and monetization model there is nothing between them.
