About Scratch Corner
Every state lottery publishes exactly which prizes are still unclaimed in every scratch-off game. They just publish it in formats nobody standing at a counter can use — a PDF here, a data portal there, a table buried four clicks deep. So the one fact that actually matters when you're picking a ticket stays, in practice, invisible.
That's the whole reason this site exists. Every morning we crawl three state lotteries, run the same arithmetic on every game, and turn it into a straight answer: worth a look, or skip it.
The numbers
- 235 scratch-off games tracked
- 3 states: California, Texas, and New York
- Updated every morning: the crawler runs daily at 6:30 AM Pacific (13:30 UTC)
- Publishing since July 2026
Who's behind this
Scratch Corner is an independent data project. It isn't run by a lottery, a casino, or anyone who sells tickets. You can reach us at hello@scratchcorner.com. A real person reads it and answers.
Scratch Corner shares its data engine with two sister sites from the same project: Scratch Index (the full math, for people who want every column) and RaspaDatos (en español).
What we are not
- We don't sell lottery tickets, and we never will.
- We don't take bets, run lottery ads, or get paid by anyone we rank.
- We're not affiliated with or endorsed by any state lottery.
- Nothing here improves your odds of winning — no site can do that. We just tell you what the official numbers say about each game, in plain English.
