IDAHO has a few max skips going right now, too, but if I'm not mistaken, Idaho is computerized.

Idaho Lottery - largest payout for least invested?
Hi all. I am SURE this has been asked countless times, but it seems as though I cannot find it (via Google or forum search). I am trying to figure out Idaho Lottery's 'best bet'. I don't care how much the jackpot is. I just want to know what the best payout for the least invested is. I guess it would be a ratio. Say, for instance, I buy a $1 pull-tab with a jackpot of $300, that only 2 people win. But, the chances of winning that $300 jackpot is better than playing, say, the PowerBall. How

All you would need to beat scratchoffs is to know the number of tickets soldReply
Idaho lottery tells you how many prizes are unclaimed and how many sold. Idaho scratchers unclaimed Idaho scratchers sold Does not increase your odds but it is good information to know. I don't know if this practice still exists but in Texas at one time the algorithm for distributing tickets was the following: https://www.lotterypost.com/news/277617 A computerized system tracks packs or books of tickets being activated and prizes being cashed. When a store's stock gets low, tic

figuring out how many Scratchers there are in a given game?Reply
Are you trying to buy up all the remaining tix for a game that still has top prizes unclaimed? I don't know about the Idaho lottery, but I know that with the California lottery, they update the scratchers pages when a prize is claimed , not when it is sold . That means it is possible for all the top prizes to be gone, even if the page reports that some are still unclaimed. The reason being that players might hold on to a winning ticket for a while before heading to a regional claims office.

Digits missing a few days? Sooo what?Reply
Never look at world records ..... That's Lottery Porn and doesn't represent real life. LOL But seriously.... how many times has the coin landed on heads in Idaho back in 1932.... 15 times or 20 times? That's not real and we can't think about those gross examples to much. It will blow your groove man... LOL Now.... in the normal day to day world I start to play the other way after 5 or 6 days of the same. My focus is on the other side. At the end of the year.... most 50/50

There's a really easy way to do this. Take this Idaho scratcher as an example https://www.idaholottery.com/games/scratch/single-deck-blackjack-2023 It says there are 2 top prizes and the odds of winning a top prize is 1 in 239800. All you need to do is multiply 2 and 239800 to get the total number of tickets in the game: 2 x 239800 = 479600. Now, if it says 10% are sold, then 90% are left. So that's 0.9 x 479600 = 431640.

The odds against winning $100 in PB is 13,644 to 1 and that's by matching 3 numbers plus the bonus ball. If you're trying to match 4 numbers to win $100 it's 19,030 to 1 odds. To win $300, you'll need an 3 of those hits. I'm not sure if there is a game with worse odds than PB. The odds against winning $300 in most pick-3 games is 999 to 1 playing a 50 cent straight/box ticket. As for scratch-offs and pull tabs, check the state lottery website and see the odds against winning $300. Most $1 scr

figuring out how many Scratchers there are in a given game?
Ok, the Idaho lottery publishes on its website the number of winning prizes still available on each scratch-off lottery ticket, and as the particular ticket sells, they also publish the percentage of tickets sold. Lastly, they publish the odds. So my question is? Can simple multiplication tell you how many tickets in a given run are still left? For instance, the currently high sold ticket is a $1.00 game called Double Doubler It is 96.74% sold out the overall odds are 4.37, and there are 164
