If I play most of the book . I wonder.. just how many winners do you think are in that roll of 200?

Also.. do you think the $2 tickets, $5, $10, $20, $30.. do they, in fact, have higher odds of winning?

There are youtube videos where people will buy $100k or a $1M worth of scratch-offs (Mr. Beast has done it a few times with even more money).

You can find the odds on the lottery website, and see also see if any of the large prizes have been claimed on scratch-offs.

Honestly you will probably lose 50-70% of your money if you bought an entire roll. You would be much better off buying some stock instead of lotto tickets.

I often win $5 - $10 on those cheap scratch offs....but never won anything substantial. But I do better with scratch offs than I do with the numbers games.The $1 games simply have a lower Max prize compared to the $2 scratch offs

I like the bingo or crossword scratch offs, cause it takes longer to find out I lost, lol.

I knew a guy that won the lottery twice (3mm then 20mm). His one liner has always stuck with me: Don't play any game that won't change your life. Meaning: Why play a scratch ticket that the maximum prize is $5000? If you win, pay some tax on it then you might keep $3800-4000 and that's a weekend at Disney World not quit your job and travel the world.

Yes scratch tickets have evolved to offer bigger "life changing" prizes but the price/odds jumped as well. $4 gets you a Powerball ticket (600 million) and a Mega Millions ticket (792 million) for this weekend. If you are "meant" to win then there you go!

Wife bought a $50 scratcher last weekend. Didn't change her life, only changed her mood when she lost. Comical.
