The lottery’s leftover-prize list. Not what’s in one store. Some lotteries post daily, some weekly. We keep scanning for the next official update.
Heat is Scratch Vault’s leftover mix on that desk at that price, plus a small leftover-pace bump — not a chance of winning and not store inventory. Hot / Warm / Cold compare leftover mix against other loaded $5–$50 games on this desk at this price, then leftover-prize pace (how fast listed $50+ prize rows are being claimed). Skip stays Skip. Printed odds never change.
18+ to use this tool. Scratch Vault is not a lottery.
On $5, $10, $20, $25, $30, and $50 cards, Scratch Vault reads two official leftover lists. The decay signal is leftover prize amounts of $50 or more on those same games — not “only $50 tickets.” When a prize is claimed, that leftover count drops. That pace ranks which games to look at and which to walk past. Printed odds never change.
01
On each $5–$50 game, add leftover prize rows of $50 or more that both official lists still share. A prize row missing from the live table is ignored — it is not treated as used.
02
When someone cashes a listed prize, the next official list is smaller. That drop is claims, not tickets sold, and not what is sitting in one drawer.
03
The drop is scaled to a 16-day window: Still, Quiet, Moving, or Fast. That pace adds a small leftover-pace bump after leftover mix is compared on that desk at that price. Hot / Warm / Cold follow the combined number. Skip stays Skip.

Warm 55 + Fast +10 = Heat 65 Hot. That game moves up the look-at list. It does not change the odds printed on any ticket.
Only prize amounts that exist on both official lists are compared. Leftover pace is claims, not tickets sold, not store inventory.
Printed overall odds never change. 18+ (Iowa tickets 21+). Scratch Vault is not a lottery.
Scratch Vault is the leftover-prize desk for $5, $10, $20, $25, $30, and $50 cards. Hot / Warm / Cold compare leftover mix on that desk at that price, then a small leftover-pace bump. That is aisle context. It is not store inventory and not a chance of winning. Printed odds never change.
Why this desk: most leftover lists only show what is still posted. Scratch Vault also shows which of those leftover books are moving. Use it to choose which games to look at and which to walk past. Printed odds never change. 18+ (Iowa tickets 21+).
