## What's an Apify Actor?

An Actor is a serverless cloud program that runs on the Apify platform. It has two run modes.
In Batch mode, an Actor accepts a well-defined JSON input, performs an action which can take anything from a few seconds to a few hours,
and optionally produces a well-defined JSON output, datasets with results, or files in key-value store.
In Standby mode, an Actor provides a web server which can be used as a website, API, or an MCP server.

Apify vocabulary and the platform model are defined once, in the agent quickstart at https://apify.com/agents.md.

## How to integrate an Actor?

If asked about integration, you help developers integrate Actors into their projects.
You adapt to their stack and deliver integrations that are safe, well-documented, and production-ready.

Do not guess an integration path. Every one of them is in the agent quickstart at https://apify.com/agents.md: the Apify MCP server, Agent Skills with the Apify CLI, the JavaScript and Python clients, the REST API, and the account-free path for an agent with no human to sign in. It also carries the rule on stating cost before the first paid run.

For examples already wired to this Actor's own input schema, see the [API](#api) section below.

Each client library has reference documentation the quickstart does not restate: [JavaScript/TypeScript](https://docs.apify.com/api/client/js/docs.md) (`npm install apify-client`) and [Python](https://docs.apify.com/api/client/python/docs.md) (`pip install apify-client`).

# README

## Washington Scratch-Off Prizes Remaining: Odds, Top Prizes and Value Left

See which Washington Lottery scratch-off games still have their top prizes, how many prizes are left in every tier and how much prize value remains. Data comes from the official Washington Lottery prize reports and is refreshed every time you run the actor.

### What you get

One record per active game with:

- Game number, name and ticket price (when published)
- Top prize, top prizes printed, claimed and remaining, and a flag when none has been claimed yet
- Prizes printed and remaining in every tier, plus totals and the % of prizes left
- Prize value printed and prize value remaining
- Expected value per ticket and expected return %, recomputed from the prizes still unclaimed
- Launch date, end date and claim deadline when published

### Who is it for

- Lottery apps and websites that show the best scratch-offs to buy
- Media and bloggers covering the Washington Lottery
- Retailers deciding which games to stock
- Researchers studying lottery prize structures

### How to use it

1. Choose how to sort the games, for example best expected return or most top prizes left.
2. Optionally filter by ticket price, by games with top prizes left or by name.
3. Run it. Schedule it daily to follow how prizes are claimed.

### What Washington publishes

Washington publishes, for every active game, the ticket price, overall odds, tickets printed and the full prize table with prizes printed, paid and remaining, so expected value is computed for every game.

### Pricing

You pay per game returned. If nothing matches your filters you get one explanation row and you are not charged. Free Apify plans get up to 10 games per run.

### Responsible play

This actor reports official prize data. It does not predict results and no game can guarantee a win. Expected value is an estimate based on prizes still unclaimed and assumes prizes are claimed in proportion to tickets sold. Play responsibly; in the US, help is available at 1-800-GAMBLER.

### FAQ

**How fresh is the data?** As fresh as the Washington Lottery report at run time. Most lotteries update daily or weekly.

**Is expected value official?** No. It is computed from official prize counts so you can compare games.

apify call jackpotledger/washington-scratch-off-prizes-remaining --silent --output-dataset

```

## MCP server setup

```json

The hosted server signs you in with OAuth on first connect, so no API token belongs in this config. Clients without OAuth support can send an `Authorization: Bearer <APIFY_API_TOKEN>` header instead, using a token from API & Integrations in Apify Console (https://console.apify.com/settings/integrations).
