Answer 1

Hi,

There are many lottery games including the pick 3, pick 4, pick 5, pick 6, and the scratch off games.

While the big lottery (pick 6) odds are 1 in 150,000,000, the scratch off odds can be low as 1 in 3.37.

That's why the scratch offs are the BEST lottery games to play.  But you still need to select the right scratchers.

Let me explain why...

Many people ask me what  to select.  How do you know which scratcher lotto ticket would be the right one to select?  Thats a smart question and I would like to  you a very simple lesson to  you to know which scatcher tickets to look out for.



There are huge numbers of scratch off lotto games you can play from.  There is the $1 lotto game, the $2 lotto game, the $3 lotto game, and the $5 lotto game.  There are a few places where you can get the $10 or $20 lotto games.  The thing about the scratch off lottery game is that the cheaper the scratch off lottery ticket, the worse the odds of winning. On the contrary, the costlier the scratcher ticket, the likelier you are to win.



However, that doesn't end here.  You would want to find out what the odds are for that particular scratcher lotto ticket is.  Absolutely avoid aimless buying of tickets.  This is because every game offers different odds of winning.



You have got to choose the scratch off lottery game that present to you the most advantageous odds of striking gold and stick playing that game.  You will have a higher chance to lose if you pointlessly go aroung getting tickets because they are very likely to be the wrong ones.  

In actual fact particular games offer preferable odds of of succeeding than other games.  Even though they may have the same price, particular scratcher games present to you preferred results because they good odds.



You should basically look for the odds for that specific scratch off game you participate in.  How do you find the winning odds of a scratcher?  Simply take a look at the secret spot.  The question now is, what is the secret spot of the scratch off games?



An overwhelming percentage of those who play the scratch games in my store have no idea what is the secret spot.  Its so obvious and it is definitely not going to sound like something that has been hidden from you but nearly everyone who participates in scratch offs do not know it!



Finally, you want to know what the secret spot is right?  Just take a look at the back of the scratcher lottery ticket.  Just take a look at the back of every single scratch off ticket, you will be able to learn of the odds of being victorious in very small print.  Therefore make sure to do this every time before getting a scratch off.



And here is an effective tactic that you can immediately implement to better your outcomes in scratcher lottery games.  Simply look at the rear of the scratcher tickets, find out the odds, weight the odds, and after doing so, you will find that particular games have higher odds of you succeeding than other games.



Right now, you will be able to make a better choise as to which scratch off game to play.  



More often than not, the cheaper the game, the worse the odds. But are you aware of particular less expensive games have preferable odds than the costlier games.  Basically, this is what you are looking for.  



So look out for these because there are some scratchers there that are only $2 but offer better odds than some $5 scratchers!  Search for those scratch off lottery tickets.  

You can even ask the clerk for the odds the game if you can't read it. Then, look for the scratcher lotto game with the best odds and start playing it and stick to it.  

Doing this will greatly improve the outcomes of the game for you.  This is because you are no longer buying scratch offs without purpose. You will see improvement right away if you start doing this now.

Good luck & have fun!

For a 6/42 game the complete odds are :

6-of-6 = 1 : 5,245,786.0

5-of-6 = 1 : 24,286.0

4-of-6 = 1 : 555.1

3-of-6 = 1 : 36.7

2-of-6 = 1 : 5.9

1-of-6 = 1 : 2.3

and for a 6/48 game:

6-of-6 = 1 : 12,271,512.0

5-of-6 = 1 : 48,696.5
