A Note about "Mega Bucks" Scratch Ticket 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 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.
