- Starting Odds: These are the official odds provided by the Oregon lottery at the scratch-it'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-its and half of the top prizes have been claimed, it is estimated that about 50% of the scratch-its have been sold.
- Current Odds to Win $100/$1,000/$10,000 or More: These odds indicate the likelihood of winning higher-tier prizes in Oregon scratch-its. They are determined by summing the probabilities of all applicable prize amounts using the current odds.
