Legal

Terms of Use

Effective [Effective date]

These terms cover your use of scratchiehub.com (the "site"), run by [Company] ("we," "us"). By using the site you agree to them. If you do not agree, please do not use the site.

1. What the site is

The site publishes information about state lottery scratch-off games: prizes, odds, prizes remaining, and calculations based on them, such as expected value. It is for information only. We are not a lottery, a lottery retailer, or a ticket courier. We do not sell tickets, take wagers, or handle money for anyone.

We are not affiliated with, endorsed by, or operated by any state lottery or government agency.

2. Age

The site is meant for adults. You must be at least 18 to use it, and you must meet your state's minimum age to buy lottery tickets (19 or 21 in some states). The site is not directed to children under 13.

3. Information is not a guarantee

We collect our data from public lottery sources and try to keep it accurate and current. Still, prizes are claimed between our updates, lotteries change their figures, and our collection or calculations can be wrong. Because of that:

  • Every number on the site is shown "as is," with the date it was last updated.
  • The official lottery's records control. If anything on the site differs from the lottery's own information, the lottery is right.
  • Check the game on the official lottery site before you buy. Never rely on our site to decide whether a ticket has won or to claim a prize.
  • Nothing on the site is financial, legal, or tax advice, or a recommendation to buy any ticket. Lottery tickets are not an investment. On average, every game pays back less than it costs.

4. Play responsibly

Only spend what you can afford to lose. If gambling stops being fun, call or text 1-800-GAMBLER. See our Responsible Play page.

5. Using our content

You may read, link to, and share pages from the site for personal, non-commercial use. Please do not copy the site's design, text, illustrations, or compiled data in bulk, and do not resell them, without our written permission. The underlying lottery facts belong to no one; our presentation, writing, illustrations, and calculations are ours.

Lottery names, game names, and other marks belong to their owners. We use them only to identify games. Their appearance here does not mean any owner endorses us.

6. Acceptable use

Do not:

  • use the site for anything illegal
  • try to break, overload, or get around the site's security
  • collect data from the site with automated tools faster than one request per second, or in a way that ignores our robots.txt
  • present our content as official lottery information or as coming from a lottery

7. Links to other sites

We link to official lottery sites and other resources. We do not control those sites and are not responsible for them. Their own terms apply.

8. Disclaimer of warranties

THE SITE AND EVERYTHING ON IT ARE PROVIDED "AS IS" AND "AS AVAILABLE," WITHOUT WARRANTIES OF ANY KIND, EXPRESS OR IMPLIED, INCLUDING WARRANTIES OF ACCURACY, COMPLETENESS, TIMELINESS, MERCHANTABILITY, FITNESS FOR A PARTICULAR PURPOSE, AND NON-INFRINGEMENT, TO THE FULLEST EXTENT THE LAW ALLOWS.

9. Limitation of liability

TO THE FULLEST EXTENT THE LAW ALLOWS, WE ARE NOT LIABLE FOR ANY INDIRECT, INCIDENTAL, SPECIAL, CONSEQUENTIAL, OR PUNITIVE DAMAGES, OR FOR ANY LOSS OF MONEY, WINNINGS, OR TICKETS, ARISING FROM YOUR USE OF THE SITE OR YOUR RELIANCE ON ANYTHING ON IT, INCLUDING ANY TICKET YOU BUY OR DO NOT BUY. OUR TOTAL LIABILITY FOR ANY CLAIM ABOUT THE SITE IS LIMITED TO ONE HUNDRED US DOLLARS ($100). Some states do not allow some of these limits, so they may not all apply to you.

10. Changes

We may change the site or these terms. When we change the terms, we will update the effective date above. Using the site after a change means you accept the new terms.

11. Law and disputes

These terms are governed by the laws of [State], without regard to its conflict of laws rules. Any dispute will be brought in the state or federal courts in [County], [State], except that either of us may bring a claim in small claims court where it qualifies.
