The secret to winning more money in the lottery is to play the scratch off lotto ticket games (also known as the scratchers game). The reason why you want to play the scratchers game compared to every other lottery game (including pick-3, pick-4, pick-5, mega millions, power ball) is because the scratchers game has the best overall odds of winning period.
I work as a convenience store owner and a lottery retailer. From my experience, I've seen more winners from the scratchers game than any other lottery game hands down. And the reason why is simple. It's not magic. It's not luck. It's just simply that the scratch off games have the best odds of winning.
So the next time you are thinking about playing the lottery game (hoping, wishing, and thinking about “Yes, I am going to win the lottery!”) and you are about to spend that $10, $100, or whatever amount, don't throw it in the big lottery game. Don't even throw it in the pick-5 game, pick-4 game, or even the pick-3 game.
Because the chances are if you spend that money in those games, you're going to lose all your money. But you will have better chance and having a realistic profit on a consistent basis by using that money by playing the scratchers game.
So that's lesson #1. You have to know which lotto game has the best odds of winning. And the game that has been proven and tested to have the best overall odds of winning is the scratchers game.
That's one thing you have to know right there. But that's not enough. Because you must realize there are different type of scratch off ticket games when you go play the scratchers game in the convenience store, liquor store, or wherever you go.
Some games cost $1. Some other games cost $2. Some other games cost $3. And some other games cost up to $5, $10, or even $20.
So the average player goes to the store and thinks “Oh…$5 & $10 games are too expensive! I'm not going to play those. I'm only going to play the $1 game.” Well, the average player thinks this way because just like you go into the casino, there are different types of casino slot machine games.
There are slot machines where the game costs a dollar to play. Some cost even cheaper. Some cost a quarter to play. Some cost 5 cents to play. Some cost only a penny to play. So the average person who doesn't know much about the odds (or the casino) is drawn to the penny game because of the cheap price.
What they don't know is that they are most likely, they are not going to make big money and most likely, they are not going to make any money on those cheap penny machines. Similarly, the scratchers game has the same concept. The $1 game (the cheapest scratchers to play) has the worst odds of winning.
The general odds of winning for the $1 game are 1 in 9. So that means out of 9 tickets you buy, you are most likely going to get one winner. The odds of the $2 game gets a little bit better because the more expansive the ticket, the better the odds of winning. And most people don't know this. They think all scratchers have the same chance of winning. That's not true.
The truth is that you have better odds of winning when you play the more expensive game. So the odds for the $2 game are around 1 in 5. The odds for the $3 becomes a little bit better and is usually are 1 in 4. The odds of the $5 game gets a little bit better and is usually around 1 in 3.5. And so forth.
And as the scratchers game becomes more expensive, the odds of winning become more favorable for you. So the next time you think about playing the lottery game, know this fact. The scratch off ticket game has better overall odds of winning than any other lottery game offered wherever you live worldwide.
So don't spend your money in the big lottery, pick-5, pick-4, or even the pick-3. Instead, use that same money to play in the scratch off game and you will have much better results.
