The odds and statistics for North Carolina's scratch-offs are based on official lottery data processed through statistical models. This is to help players understand their chances of winning in North Carolina's scratch-offs.
- Starting Odds: These are the official odds provided by the North Carolina lottery at the scratch-off'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 scratch-offs and half of the top prizes have been claimed, it is estimated that about 50% of the scratch-offs 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 scratch-off based on the current prizes remaining.

A positive EV indicates an expected profit per ticket, while a negative EV indicates an expected loss.
