How this list is ranked

Every $3 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 New York 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.

Which of these is actually the best buy?

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