The odds and statistics for New Mexico's scratcher games are based on official lottery data processed through statistical models. This is to help players understand their chances of winning in New Mexico's scratcher games.
- Starting Odds: These are the official odds provided by the New Mexico lottery at the scratcher game's launch. They indicate the probability of winning any prize when all tickets are still in circulation.
- Estimated % Tickets Remaining: If not provided by the state, this is estimated based on the number of claimed prizes relative to the game's original prize structure. For example, if a game started with 1 million scratcher games and half of the top prizes have been claimed, it is estimated that about 50% of the scratcher games have been sold.

- Current Odds to Win the Grand Prize: This metric shows the probability of winning the game's largest prize, adjusted for the estimated remaining tickets and current odds.
- Expected Value (EV): EV represents the average return of a single scratcher game based on the current prizes remaining. It is calculated by multiplying each prize amount by its probability of winning (prizes remaining ÷ estimated tickets remaining), summing these values, and subtracting the ticket price. A positive EV indicates an expected profit per ticket, while a negative EV indicates an expected loss.
