Do people have more luck just buying one scratch ticket at a time as opposed to buying 2 or more?Reply
Buying the number of tickets per odds hasn't worked for me so far. A week ago I bought five $2 scratch offs from the Florida Lotto because the overall odds were 1-in-4.39. All five tickets were duds, not even a free ticket. Grandfather plays lotto a lot as well. He bought four $10 tickets and all were losers. I'm really not sure if there is a particular strategy when it comes to scratch offs.

return for investmentReply
Check the play slips or the game website. The payouts are usually 5% or less of the odds of winning. If you would normally spent a $1000 to get a certain win then the payout for it would be $50. You have to beat the odds by quite a bit to show a profit. Lotteries are for entertainment not for investments.

Hey James - looks like the new ticket has the BEST ODDS FOR $50 !!!! 1 in 16.67 beats all the $20 scratchers - the odds for $1,000 are 1 in 12,600 ...... the rest of the $20 tick are around 1 in 3 to 4000 ....(if I read them right) ........... with the top prize being $1M for LIFE - I bet it's gonna be hard to get anything big ......they'll have to sell a lot of duds to offset a prize of $1M for life - personally I'm not buying any - unless I want to win $50 ......LOL

Texas All or Nothing Prizes Too Small??Reply
At first I thought the jackpot odds of 2.7 million to 1 might be high for a $2 ticket but on further review each ticket has two chances of winning the jackpot and all the other prizes too. The odds of winning $250,000 are much better than in MM.

Just ceaned out an old dresser and found a half-torn losing ticket from the old $30 scratch off...odds were 1 in 2.43....can't wait to see the odds on the new $25 game!

Since both groups averages about 28 numbers, it shouldn't be surprising that their odds of winning are similar. I thought you were trying to define/find a group who's winnings exceeded the odds.

Thanks RJOh, I like those odds. 5 of 5, 16% of the time would be 6 times BETTER than stated odds. If I can hit 5 of 5 half that often it would be about every 12-13 draws which is very close to what Stack has been saying would be a good average.

Those odds very well could be correct, Omiller..... after all, the name of the game is $100 Cash Frenzy so it seems that the game's big draw is the fact that you have a good chance at hitting a hundred bucks. I would have to say that the odds are correct.

I really have no idea, odds say it should be the 999 however, everything is a gamble in the lottery. Sometimes odds work as in the sum 23 tonite, sometimes paitience. Triples I like dr65's thread on triples, 3 away doubles and NYL just had 336 a few days ago, plus 003 , etc....Go with what you like and feel good about......BTW read the systems forums, learn your own methods of playing.....with confirmation from other posters..........Good Luck and Many Wins@
