      What the remaining-prize data actually supports

      Printed odds never change. Tennessee holds one top prize per game for Play It Again, so a posted “1 left” is treated as no retail jackpot. Medium heat is weighted heavier than the grand, and it also boosts the secondary prizes that typically scale with ticket price.

      Scratch Vault is an independent information tool. It ranks Tennessee scratch-off games from publicly posted remaining-prize counts so you can see which games still have meaningful prizes listed — and which ones to skip — before you buy. It does not sell tickets, take wagers, or pay prizes.

      Not affiliated with Tennessee Lottery. Remaining counts do not improve, change, or guarantee the odds of any individual ticket. 18+ to buy TN tickets. If gambling is a problem, call or text 1-800-GAMBLER.

      How the data works

      Public remaining-prize tables. Not the odds printed on the ticket.

      The numbers on this desk come from remaining-prize tables Tennessee Lottery publishes for instant (scratch-off) games. Tennessee Lottery This is a compiled snapshot (Week of August 27, 2026), not a live feed. Those counts are public. They change as tickets are sold and as prizes are claimed. They are not live store inventory.

      Tennessee typically reserves one top prize per instant game for Play It Again. A posted “1 left” is treated as no effective retail jackpot. That figure is our estimate of what is still in stores. It is not a Lottery ruling.

      Posted remaining prizes from the Lottery’s public table. Not live store inventory. A remaining prize may already have been sold.

      Printed overall odds on a ticket never change. Remaining prizes do. That difference is what this tool surfaces.

      Grand heat

      Retail jackpots

      Jackpots still realistically available in stores after the Play It Again holdback.

      Medium heat

      Mid-tier remaining

      Prizes below the jackpot that typical tickets still pay. Medium heat also gives extra weight to secondary prizes that typically scale with ticket price — $3,000–$7,000 on $5 tickets, $5,000–$10,000 on $10, and $10,000–$40,000 on $20.

      Bust / Avoid

      Skip these

      No effective listed top prize, or a mid-tier that has already collapsed.

      How this helps your decision

      A clearer look at what is still posted — not a better ticket.

      Use the desk to make a more informed choice at the counter. It does not change the odds of any individual ticket, and it does not improve your chance of winning.

        Check which games still have real top prizes listed after Tennessee’s Play It Again holdback.

      • Spot a drained middle

      • Skip what is no longer worth chasing

        Bust / Avoid marks games with no effective listed top prize or a collapsed mid-tier, so you can walk past them.

      Full disclaimer

      Scratch Vault (“the Vault,” “we,” “us”) is an independent information product of Webb Spinner Visions. It publishes a heat ranking of instant (scratch-off) games using publicly posted remaining-prize counts. It does not sell lottery tickets, process wagers, or pay prizes.

      This is not a state lottery. The Vault is not affiliated with, endorsed by, sponsored by, or connected to the Tennessee Education Lottery Corporation (TELC), the Kentucky Lottery Corporation, the South Carolina Education Lottery, the Oklahoma Lottery, the Michigan Lottery, the Arizona Lottery, the North Carolina Education Lottery, the Pennsylvania Lottery, the Texas Lottery Commission, the Missouri Lottery, the Ohio Lottery, any lottery retailer, or any other state lottery. Lottery names, game titles, and prize amounts are used only to identify publicly offered games.

      You must be 18 or older to use this tool. Lottery tickets in Tennessee are 18+ (Arizona and Iowa Lottery tickets are 21+). Remaining-prize data does not improve, change, or guarantee your odds. Scratch-offs are gambling. Most players lose money. If you or someone you know may have a gambling problem, call or text 1-800-GAMBLER (1-800-522-4700) or Tennessee REDLINE 1-800-889-9789.

      The Vault compiles publicly posted remaining-prize counts for instant games and ranks them with a heat score. Grand heat looks at jackpots still listed after the Play It Again holdback (Tennessee typically reserves one top prize per instant game for Play It Again. A posted “1 left” is treated as no effective retail jackpot.). Medium heat looks at mid-tier prizes still posted, with extra weight on secondary prizes that typically scale with ticket price. Bust / avoid flags games with no effective listed top prize or a drained mid-tier.

      It is operated independently by Webb Spinner Visions. It is a consumer information tool only. You cannot buy, scan, check, or redeem tickets here. No account on this site creates a lottery ticket, a wager, or a prize claim.

      • Not a lottery, casino, sportsbook, sweepstakes, or ticket seller.
      • Not affiliated with, endorsed by, or sponsored by any state lottery, including the Tennessee Education Lottery Corporation, or any retailer.
      • Not official Lottery artwork, logos, marks, or communications. Ticket faces shown in the Vault are independent reconstructions for store identification (game name, number, and price). They are not official scans and may not match a ticket in your hand.
      • Not gambling advice, investment advice, tax advice, or legal advice.
      • Not a prediction that any specific ticket, pack, store, or county will win.
      • Not a system that improves, changes, or guarantees lottery odds.

      The overall odds printed on a ticket are set when the game is printed. Those odds do not change when prizes are claimed. A game can still be sold after its top prizes are gone. Remaining-prize tables change as tickets sell and as winners are reported.

      Tennessee typically reserves one top prize per instant game for Play It Again. A posted “1 left” is treated as no effective retail jackpot. Remaining figures are estimates compiled from public tables. They are not a Lottery ruling and may be wrong for a given game or week.

      Posted remaining prizes from the Lottery’s public table. Not live store inventory. A remaining prize may already have been sold.

      Tennessee instant prizes must typically be claimed within 90 days of the announced game end date (mail-in claims must be postmarked within that window). The ticket and TELC rules control.

      Sources include the Lottery’s public remaining-prizes table and other published public counts. Some games only list the top prize. Medium heat is then estimated. Counts can be late, incomplete, revised, or missing a store-level location. “2 left” does not mean a matching ticket is at a particular retailer.

      Using this app does not make a losing ticket more likely to win, and it does not make a winning ticket more likely. Lottery play is chance. Past remaining counts do not predict future results.

      You must be 18 or older to use this tool. Tennessee Lottery tickets are 18+. Arizona and Iowa Lottery tickets are 21+. Do not use this app to help anyone under the applicable lottery age obtain tickets. Follow Tennessee law, retailer rules, and any self-exclusion you have chosen.

      The Vault is for personal, non-commercial information. You are responsible for how you use the rankings. Do not rely on this site as your only source before spending money.

      The Vault is provided as is and as available, without warranties of any kind, express or implied, including accuracy, completeness, merchantability, or fitness for a particular purpose. We do not warrant that remaining counts, heat scores, ticket faces, or help links are current or error-free.

      To the fullest extent allowed by law, Webb Spinner Visions and its owners, employees, and contractors are not liable for losses, lost winnings, extra tickets purchased, or other damages that arise from using or being unable to use this information — including decisions to buy, skip, or keep playing a scratch-off game.

      Nothing on this site is an offer to sell a lottery ticket or a solicitation to gamble. Prize payment is solely the responsibility of Tennessee Education Lottery Corporation under its rules.

      Scratch-off tickets are a form of gambling. The house edge is built into every game. Most players lose money over time. Play only for entertainment, only with money you can afford to lose, and only for a time you have already decided is enough.

      • Set a budget before you go to the store. Stop when it is gone.
      • Do not chase losses. A “hot” ranking is not a reason to spend more than you planned.
      • Do not borrow money, skip bills, or hide tickets and receipts from people who depend on you.
      • Do not treat remaining-prize heat as a skill edge or a way to get even.
      • Take breaks. Walking away is always allowed.

      Problem gambling is a recognized behavioral addiction. It can harm finances, work, health, and relationships. It can happen to anyone, including people who “only play scratch-offs.” Tools like heat maps can make play feel more skilled than it is. That feeling is not a reason to keep spending.

      Warning signs include:

      • Spending more time or money than you planned
      • Chasing losses or thinking the next ticket will fix it
      • Borrowing, lying, or hiding tickets and receipts
      • Feeling restless, irritable, or depressed when not playing
      • Neglecting work, school, family, or bills
      • Using lottery play to escape stress or other problems
      • Others expressing concern about your play

      If these sound familiar — for you or someone you care about — get help. You do not have to wait until things get worse. Recovery is possible.

      If you are in immediate danger or thinking of harming yourself, call or text 988 (Suicide & Crisis Lifeline) or local emergency services.
