How it works

Each widget is a tiny self-contained HTML document (under 10 KB) rendered server-side from the same live dataset that powers scratchoffsny.com. When our pipeline refreshes — multiple times per day from the official NY Lottery prize feed and NY Open Data retailer file — every embedded copy updates within minutes. There is no script to maintain, no API key, and nothing that can break your page: if our service is ever unavailable the iframe simply shows a quiet fallback message.

Full scoring methodology is public at /methodology, and our raw data reports are free for press use under CC BY 4.0 at /reports.
