Savvy Scratch is a data-driven scratch-off ticket analyzer built from a pro gambler's playbook, designed to identify which lottery games are worth buying and which are dead by tracking prize structures, remaining inventory, and game age using daily public lottery data.
What is Savvy Scratch?
Savvy Scratch applies advantage-play logic to lottery scratch-off tickets, analyzing public state lottery data to rank games by current value. Users input their state and get a daily edge list that classifies each game as Buy (still worth playing), Watch (new game worth monitoring), or Pass (depleted prize pool). The platform runs on web, iOS, Android, and via an MCP server for AI agents, and was built by Doug Moeller — a 20+ year pro gambler with over $500,000 in lifetime winnings across poker, blackjack card counting, and slot machine advantage play.
Key Features
- Buy/Watch/Pass labels — Every game receives a single decision label based on real-time analysis of top prizes remaining, prize depth, and game age, so you know instantly whether to play, monitor, or skip.
- 22-state coverage — Currently supports Arizona, California, Florida, Georgia, Illinois, Iowa, Louisiana, Maryland, Massachusetts, Michigan, Minnesota, Missouri, New Jersey, New York, North Carolina, Ohio, Oklahoma, Oregon, Pennsylvania, Texas, Virginia, and Washington, with more states on the roadmap.
- Daily updated data — Data is collected and refreshed daily (last collected Jul 11, 2026), so game conditions reflect recent prize claims and inventory depletion without manual digging.
- Mobile app access — Paid members can check the edge list on desktop then use the native iOS or Android app in-store to make purchase decisions on the spot.
- MCP integration for AI agents — Free-tier users get access to the data via Model Context Protocol (MCP), enabling automated queries and agent-based workflows.
- Free ebook — Scratch-Offs, Played Smarter is available as a PDF download when you submit your email, covering game selection methodology, the three ranking numbers, and bankroll rules from card counting.
Who should use Savvy Scratch?
- Regular scratch-off buyers — People who already spend real money on scratchers and want to stop buying blind at the counter; use the daily edge list to pick games with remaining value.
- Advantage players and gamblers — Anyone who treats lottery play as a bankroll discipline problem rather than pure luck; use the data to concentrate play on live games and avoid cooled-off games.
- Lottery retailers and analysts — Store owners or data-minded players who want a clean dashboard instead of scraping state lottery sites manually for prize claim reports.
What can you do with Savvy Scratch?
- Find still-live games before you buy — Check the daily edge list on desktop or mobile to see which games in your state still have top prizes and solid prize depth, then buy only those tickets.
- Avoid dead games that waste money — The Pass label flags games where the prize structure is depleted, helping you protect bankroll by skipping tickets that no longer offer reasonable odds.
- Monitor new games from launch — The Watch label highlights fresh games with unknown decay curves, so you can track them from day one and decide when to start playing.
