The Western Canada Lottery Corporation publishes how many top prizes are still unclaimed for each of its scratch tickets. Most players ignore this information entirely and pick a ticket based on the theme or price. That's leaving real money on the table.
Scratchers Edge tracks WCLC's remaining prize counts daily. The picks below are based on today's data, organized by three criteria: which tickets have the most prizes still in the pool, which offer the best prize per dollar spent, and which carry the biggest jackpots that are still alive in the West.
ℹ️ Saskatchewan players: The data here covers all WCLC scratch tickets. The Rider Nation ticket is Saskatchewan-exclusive — look for it specifically if you're in the province, though prize data may be limited for regional-only games.
🏆 Most Prizes Still in the Pool
These WCLC scratch tickets have the highest number of unclaimed prizes still in circulation. More prizes remaining means a greater chance that a winning ticket is still sitting at a retailer somewhere in Western Canada.
$10 1,000,000 Ultra — $1,000,000 Top Prize
Six unclaimed million-dollar prizes in a $10 ticket — the most unclaimed top prizes of any WCLC ticket right now. If you're spending $10 on a scratch ticket, this is the one with the most jackpots still out there. Check live WCLC data →
$30 30X — $3,000,000 Top Prize
Five unclaimed $3 million prizes, making this the best-stocked big-jackpot ticket in the WCLC lineup right now. At $30 a ticket, the 30X is positioned for players who want to chase a genuinely life-changing win with the most prizes still available.
$3 Crossword — $50,000 Top Prize
Five $50,000 prizes still unclaimed in a $3 ticket — tied with the 30X for most prizes remaining across the lineup. The Crossword is a standout in the budget category: you're getting access to a real prize pool without a significant outlay. Great value and great availability.
💰 Best Value for Your Dollar
The best value tickets offer a prize-to-cost ratio that stands out — either a massive jackpot at a low entry price, or a solid prize with a high number of winners still in the pool. These are the picks that make the most mathematical sense for your dollar.
$5 Set For Life — $1,000,000 Top Prize
A million-dollar prize for a $5 ticket. Only one top prize remains, but it's confirmed unclaimed — and a 200,000x return on a $5 investment is hard to argue with. This is the single best prize-to-cost ratio in the WCLC lineup right now. Act fast before someone else finds it.
$10 Crossword Deluxe — $250,000 Top Prize
Three unclaimed $250,000 prizes in a $10 ticket. At 25,000x your investment, the Crossword Deluxe offers strong value in the mid-range price tier — better prize potential per dollar than most $20 or $30 tickets currently on the WCLC market.
$3 Crossword — $50,000 Top Prize
Also the top pick for availability, the $3 Crossword doubles as the best value in the budget tier — five $50,000 prizes for a $3 ticket. Whether you're playing for fun or trying to be smart about it, the Crossword earns its place on both lists.
🎯 Top Prize Hunter Picks
These are the WCLC tickets where the biggest jackpots in Western Canada are still in play. If you're specifically chasing a multi-million dollar win, these are the only tickets where it's still possible.
$30 30X — $3,000,000 Top Prize
Five unclaimed $3 million prizes make the 30X the best-positioned mega-jackpot ticket in Western Canada. If a $3M win is what you're after, this is where the most prizes are still sitting. Track the 30X prize count →
$10 1,000,000 Ultra — $1,000,000 Top Prize
Six million-dollar jackpots still unclaimed — the most prizes remaining of any WCLC ticket. For players who want a seven-figure win without the $30 or $50 ticket price, the Ultra is the clear choice right now. Six shots at $1M is excellent availability.
$50 Extreme — $5,000,000 Top Prize
Western Canada's biggest scratch ticket prize — $5 million — and three of them are confirmed unclaimed. The Extreme is a shared game across provinces, so the prize pool is national, but WCLC players are absolutely eligible. Three $5M prizes is the only reason to spend $50 on a scratch ticket.
⚠️ Check before you buy: Several WCLC tickets currently on shelves have zero remaining top prizes. WCLC can continue selling a ticket even after the jackpot is gone. Always check live WCLC prize data on Scratchers Edge before buying any scratch ticket in Western Canada.
How to Check WCLC Remaining Prizes
WCLC publishes prize data on their website, but it takes time to navigate and there's no easy way to compare tickets side by side. Scratchers Edge pulls this data daily across all active WCLC scratch tickets and puts it in one place, with trend tracking so you can see which tickets are moving fast and which are barely touched.
The picks in this post are current as of May 7, 2026. Prize availability changes every day, so check back as the month progresses — especially for tickets where just one or two top prizes remain.
