A Note about "Simply A Buck (PA‑1749)" Scratch-Off Game in Pennsylvania
The state of Pennsylvania provides limited data on the total number of remaining prizes for prizes lower than the top six highest prize amounts.
Because of this, we're unable to estimate the number of remaining scratch-off tickets or calculate the current odds for prizes lower than the top six highest prize amounts.
For the top six highest prizes, 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.
