July 17 Weekend Picks: The Best Scratch Tickets to Buy in Every Region

We pulled fresh prize data across all four Canadian lottery regions this week. Every pick below has 100% of its top prizes still unclaimed — meaning nobody's quietly walked off with the jackpot before you got there.

Smart Picks ranks every active scratch ticket by remaining prize value — updated daily. Start your 14-day free trial — no credit card needed.

The standout this week is the $100 Élite ticket — a $10,000,000 top prize, and every single one of the five is still unclaimed in three regions at once. Ontario, BC, and Québec all carry the exact same national ticket with a spotless prize pool. It's a steep entry price, but it's the biggest jackpot on the board anywhere in the country right now.

All data is pulled directly from the Scratchers Edge tracker. OLG data is current as of July 15, BCLC as of July 14, WCLC as of July 9, and Loto-Québec as of July 7.

ℹ️ How we pick: We rank by the percentage of top prizes still unclaimed. 100% means every jackpot for that ticket is still out there — no one has claimed any of them yet.

🍁 Ontario — OLG

Ontario's board turned over almost completely this week. Last week's picks — Crossword Extreme and Golden Fortune — have both dipped below 100% (6 of 7 and 2 of 3 respectively) and drop off the list. The one holdover is $350,000 Big Money, still perfect. Joining it is the newly-launched Élite at $100, plus a fresh $10 option in Super Money Multiplier.

Elite

ELITE

$100 ticket $10,000,000 top prize 5 of 5 remaining (100%)

A $10,000,000 top prize with all five still on the board. This is a national ticket — the exact same game and the exact same untouched prize pool also shows up in BC and Québec this week. It's the single biggest jackpot in the country right now, and every copy of it is still clean. See live OLG data →

Super Money Multiplier

SUPER MONEY MULTIPLIER

$10 ticket $250,000 top prize 4 of 4 remaining (100%)

All four $250,000 top prizes untouched. This steps in as Ontario's $10 pick now that Golden Fortune has slipped to 2 of 3 — the best clean pool at this price point in the province this weekend. See live OLG data →

$350,000 Big Money

$350,000 BIG MONEY

$20 ticket $350,000 top prize 4 of 4 remaining (100%)

The lone repeat from last week's Ontario list — still all four $350,000 prizes unclaimed since January. That's a long, clean run and it remains the best $20 pick in the province. See live OLG data →

🌊 British Columbia — BCLC

BC's $5 Set for Life stays the best pure value pick in the country for a third week running. The $10 million-dollar Ultra has slipped to 4 of 6, so In the Money Multiplier takes over as this weekend's clean $10 option — and BC also gets its own copy of the $10,000,000 Élite ticket.

Elite

ELITE

$100 ticket $10,000,000 top prize 5 of 5 remaining (100%)

Same national ticket as Ontario's — same $10,000,000 prize, same five untouched top prizes. It's the priciest ticket on this list by far, but also the biggest single jackpot going in BC this weekend. See live BCLC data →

Set for Life XII

SET FOR LIFE XII

$5 ticket $675,000 top prize 12 of 12 remaining (100%)

Twelve top prizes worth $675,000 each, still every one of them unclaimed. Three weeks in a row at a perfect record on a $5 ticket — this remains the single best value pick across all four regions. See live BCLC data →

IN THE MONEY MULTIPLIER

$10 ticket $1,000,000 top prize 2 of 2 remaining (100%)

Both million-dollar top prizes are still sitting unclaimed. With the $1,000,000 Ultra now down to 4 of 6, this is BC's cleanest $10 million-dollar shot this weekend. See live BCLC data →

🌾 The Prairies — WCLC

No new WCLC scrape since July 9, so this week's three Prairie picks are unchanged from last time — and all three are still holding at a perfect 100%.

$1,000,000 Ultra

$1,000,000 ULTRA

$10 ticket $1,000,000 top prize 6 of 6 remaining (100%)

Six million-dollar top prizes, all still unclaimed. With BC's and Québec's versions of Ultra both having slipped this week, the Prairies now has the only fully-clean $1,000,000 Ultra pool left in the country. See live WCLC data →

Pawprint Payout

PAWPRINT PAYOUT

$20 ticket $400,000 top prize 2 of 2 remaining (100%)

Two $400,000 top prizes, both still unclaimed. Still the best $20 option in the Prairies — a solid jackpot with a clean availability record three weeks running. See live WCLC data →

Lucky Lines Extravaganza

LUCKY LINES EXTRAVAGANZA

$7 ticket $200,000 top prize 4 of 4 remaining (100%)

Still the budget pick of the week in the Prairies. Four $200,000 top prizes completely untouched on a $7 ticket, holding steady for a third week in a row. See live WCLC data →

⚜️ Québec — Loto-Québec

Québec keeps two of last week's picks — Maxi Gain and Super Jeu de mots — both still perfectly clean, and adds its own copy of the $10,000,000 Élite ticket to the list.

Élite

ÉLITE

$100 ticket $10,000,000 top prize 5 of 5 remaining (100%)

The third and final region carrying the $10,000,000 Élite ticket this weekend — same five untouched top prizes as Ontario and BC. Fifteen million-dollar prizes across the country, all still up for grabs. See live Loto-Québec data →

Maxi Gain

MAXI GAIN

$30 ticket $300,000 top prize 2 of 2 remaining (100%)

Both $300,000 top prizes are still unclaimed, holding steady from last week. The biggest jackpot in Québec outside of Élite, and a reasonable step up if you want more than the $10 picks offer. See live Loto-Québec data →

Super Jeu de mots

SUPER JEU DE MOTS

$5 ticket $50,000 top prize 3 of 3 remaining (100%)

Québec's best budget pick, unchanged from last week. All three $50,000 top prizes untouched, and at $5 the entry cost stays about as low as it gets while still having a meaningful jackpot to chase. See live Loto-Québec data →

The Bottom Line

12Weekend picks across 4 regions
12With 100% top prizes remaining
$5Cheapest pick this weekend
$10MBiggest jackpot — available in 3 regions

Twelve picks, twelve at 100% again this week. The real story is the $100 Élite ticket showing up untouched in Ontario, BC, and Québec all at once — fifteen million-dollar prizes between the three of them, nobody's claimed a single one. Meanwhile the $1,000,000 Ultra, last week's three-region story, has thinned out everywhere except the Prairies, and BC's $5 Set for Life keeps its perfect record as the best pure value pick going for a third straight week.

Remember that 100% availability doesn't mean the jackpot is likely — it means you're not walking into a game that's already been picked clean. The odds on the front of the ticket haven't changed. What's changed is that you know the prize pool is still full. That's the edge. Check the Scratchers Edge dashboard for the latest numbers before you buy.

⚠️ Play responsibly: These picks are based on prize availability data — not a prediction of your outcome. Scratch tickets are gambling. Set a budget and stick to it. If gambling is causing problems, visit responsiblegambling.org or call 1-800-522-4700.
