Maryland Scratch-Offs: An Expert's Look at This Week's Data

Welcome to the RaspaPro blog, where we delve into the numbers behind Maryland's scratch-off lottery games. Our goal is to provide data-driven insights into the current landscape of active tickets, focusing on metrics that matter to players. This analysis, as of September 25, 2026, examines various Maryland scratch-offs, highlighting those that exhibit noteworthy characteristics based on their Return on Investment (ROI) score, overall odds, and remaining top prizes.

Understanding the Maryland Scratch-Off Landscape

Maryland currently features 50 active scratch-off games. Each game presents a unique set of odds, prize structures, and ticket prices. Our analysis leverages the ROI score, which helps to contextualize the potential value of a ticket relative to its cost and the availability of its top prizes. A higher ROI score suggests a more favorable current prize distribution for the top-tier awards, especially when considering the number of remaining top prizes compared to the total initially offered.

Top Scratch-Off Games by ROI in Maryland

Based on our latest data, several Maryland scratch-off games stand out in terms of their ROI score. These games demonstrate a relatively higher proportion of their top prizes still available compared to the total number of top prizes originally offered, alongside their overall odds of winning any prize.

• Win $25, $50 or $100

  This $5 scratch-off game, with overall odds of 1 in 9.36, currently holds the highest ROI score in our analysis at 1.2447. What makes this game particularly notable is its focus on smaller, but potentially more frequent, wins within its top prize tier. With 3,575 of its 28,190 top prizes of $100 still remaining, the data suggests a relatively strong current availability of these higher-end prizes for its price point.

• 200X the Cash

  A $30 ticket, "200X the Cash" offers a substantial top prize of $2,000,000. Its overall odds are 1 in 2.84. While the ROI score of 0.4729 is lower than "Win $25, $50 or $100," it's significant for a high-value game of this caliber. The analysis shows 3 out of 5 original top prizes remaining, indicating that a substantial portion of the game's highest rewards are still in play. For those seeking large prize potential, this data point is certainly relevant.

• 30X Cash

  Also a $30 game, "30X Cash" has overall odds of 1 in 2.83 and a top prize of $30,000. This game has an ROI score of 0.4248 and is flagged with a 'hot' signal, meaning the data indicates a favorable prize distribution. Interestingly, all 320 of its top prizes are still remaining, suggesting that this game has just launched or recently had its inventory replenished, presenting a full slate of top prize opportunities.

New or 'Hot' Games with Favorable Odds in Maryland

Beyond the top ROI performers, our analysis also identifies games that are currently flagged as 'hot' or are newly released, often indicating a fresh slate of prizes or a favorable ratio of remaining high-value prizes. These games may not always have the highest ROI score overall but can present compelling opportunities due to their current prize status.

• Mega Money

  This $30 scratch-off, with overall odds of 1 in 2.9, features a substantial top prize of $2,000,000. The data indicates that 4 out of the initial 5 top prizes are still available. This game carries a 'hot' signal and an ROI score of 0.4125, suggesting a good current state for its highest prize tiers. The high number of remaining top prizes for such a significant amount is a key data point for this game.

• Break the Bank

  "Break the Bank" is a $5 game with overall odds of 1 in 3.77 and a top prize of $50,000. While only 1 of the original 8 top prizes remains, this game is still flagged as 'hot' with an ROI score of 0.2461. The 'hot' signal, despite fewer remaining top prizes, can sometimes indicate a recent claim of a top prize, leaving the remaining one potentially more accessible for a period, or a general favorable prize distribution across other prize tiers, although our primary focus here is on top prizes. For a $5 ticket, a $50,000 top prize offers significant potential.

Our analysis also noted other 'hot' games such as "Back to the Future™" and "Harlem Globetrotters®", both $2 tickets with overall odds of 1 in 4.2 and 1 in 3.83 respectively. While their top prizes of $10,000 are lower, they currently show 2 of 7 and 5 of 6 top prizes remaining, indicating good availability of their maximum awards for their price point.

Additionally, "Bingo X10" ($10, 1 in 3.22 odds, $100,000 top prize) has 4 of 6 top prizes left, and "Deluxe Crossword" ($5, 1 in 3.45 odds, $50,000 top prize) has all 8 of its top prizes remaining. These also present a full or substantial offering of their highest rewards at the time of this analysis.
