If I spend 20 dollars on scratch offs, what are the chances of me getting a higher return?

I work at a gas station and watch people waste their money on that shyt all day.
U got higher odds of breaking even or winning a little bit on the more expensive tickets but it's still a waste of money

I used to work at a spot where many, many scratchers were sold. Only losers ever bought them. Don't play scratchers. Take them money and invest it in something. Scratchers are the pinnacle of degeneracy.

Go to the casino and play roulette. Bet on black or red. Your odds are ~ 1: 49.3 percent because one of the slots isn't black or red.

Or you can play blackjack and depending on how good your memory and math is your odds are ~ 1: 49.8 percent

Much better odds than a scratch off.

If you do play buy all of the same ticket.. like 10 of the same $2 tickets or 20 of the same $1 tickets.. it has to be a winner in the pile they all can't be consecutive losers..

I always play when I see someone come by a lot of the same kind, then I buy a lot of the same ones they bought.. I always hit for something when I play like that.

Go to your state lottery site and check remaining prizes. It will tell you how many winners are left in each game. If you play games with a lot of prizes left it should increase your winning percentage.

What if I do this through an online casino, are the chances still the same?
