How this list is ranked

Every $10 game on sale, ranked by top-prize money still unclaimed (top prizes left × top prize). Games with no top prize left go last. Prize counts come from the California Lottery and are refreshed several times a day. They describe the whole game, not any single ticket or roll, and claims lag sales by a few days.

Scout ranks every California game by prize money left per ticket compared with launch, so you can skip games that have been picked clean.
