A Note about "Payline" Scratch-Off Game in Iowa
The state of Iowa provides limited data on the total number of remaining prizes for prizes under $50. The total number of tickets left in the game is also not provided.
Because of this, we're unable to estimate the number of remaining scratch-off tickets or calculate the current odds for prizes below $50.
For prizes over $50, the calculations are based only on the number of remaining prizes for that specific prize tier, rather than the total number of tickets left in the game. As a result, the odds displayed for these prizes will differ from the actual overall odds of winning.
