Playing every ticket from a machine.Reply
That's really good results, congrats! Better than 90% back! Ask anyone what their return on Scratch games is over the long run, and guarantee it'll be a lot lower than 90%. Post some pics if you can, I don't think we've seen VMC picture results from FL yet.

Those of you who keep track of your scratch off spending, ...Reply
I got about the same, 1000 tickets, must be a California thing. But our scratch games seem to be structured differently than the lotteries on the East coast.

Should you stick to just one scratch game
Is it better to stick with just one scratch game or is it better to spread it across several different scratch games?

Winning Scratch OffsReply
I check the stories in the NY lottery website to see how many winners there are for instant scratch games....they dont really tell you how many winners there are for each scratch game....they give you some stories, then i count how many winners, then i see if i should play.

Best Scratch Off StateReply
NY's large amount of annuity scratch games contribute to why I consider it the best state. I like annuity prizes because of being able to get money over a longer period of time. If anything, NY's problem is because of the size and population of the state, it is difficult to win the jackpot prizes because of the sheer number of tickets that have to be printed just to keep the stores stocked.

NY Instant Take Five
While my criticism of NY scratch games is well-known, this may be the best instant game, at least among those costing $1, ever offered by a US lottery. Better than 1 in 3 tickets wins a free Take Five play.

ny post scratch n win numbers 10/4/05Reply
That does suck. What are the odds? Do they have a chart with odds like Daily News? My mom works at this woman's place, and the woman is 80 years old. She was receiving Daily News for last 4 years on every single day, and hasn't won even 1 game. This is why I don't play any scratch games.

There Are A Few Good Ones In NYReply
While NY's annuity-only scratch games make the state look bad, Instant Take Five probably is the BEST scratch game offered by any state. Now if Take Five can be changed to a jackpot game...

Lottery Experiment - An Itch to ScratchReply
Interesting experiment indeed. The odds of winning something are printed on the ticket and posted to state lottery websites. Louisiana has recently put a section on their state lottery website detailing how many winning tickets for each amount for the various scratch games are still out there. In other words, it may be possible to determine approximate odds of winning from these numbers, but I haven't actually tried to yet.PrisonerSix

Entry Ticket questionReply
I moved your topic to Scratch Games, where it makes more sense to put it.When posting on any topic, you need to assume that people don't know what you're thinking, and be sure to explain your situation so anyone can understand. The more clear your message can be, the more responses you'll typically get.With your specific question, you should explain that you're from Ohio, the name of the game you played, that you're looking to see if anyone else has played the same game, and that if anyone else
