Return on InvestmentReply
The percentage of sales distributed as prizes varies from state to state. In New York state, according to their latest full year results for their traditional lottery (doesn't include video gaming at casinos), they sold $6.76 billion in tickets and paid just under $4 billion in prizes. This works out to a little over 59% of revenue paid out in prizes. This doesn't mean every game pays out 59% of its sales in prizes. Every game has a different payback percentage. The payback will vary in the r

Video of How Scratch Tickets are MadeReply
Thanks for providing this video! Seems like the most effort is made on the non-gaming part of the card than anything.

New York instant scratch off tickets - new tickets with less odds to winReply
I accidentally bought 2$ worth of lotto for tonight when cashing in at the machine. Impatient. I would stay up, but I can just check tmrw. Thinking ill do another thirty tmrw, play 8s queen and cashword til I hit decent. Since new years I'm gonna start keeping track of stuff. I don't start gaming til after don's video goes up. Distractions and anticipation kill my rhythm and focus.

I skimmed through the latest Commission Meeting video and saw no mention of a $50 ticket. Some other states have multiple $20 ticket games while we only have 1 game out. Probably will not be out for a long time if it ever does come out. Hard to image those selling when there are casino gaming establishments here, but they do sell such a ticket in Texas for quite some time now. I heard about a rewards program through the surveys and the meeting vides, and that has yet to come to fruition.

The Nipton store is pretty much the biggest scratcher store I ever seen, lines are an hour long once Mega Millions or Powerball jackpot is at $100Million+. They do enforce the TICKET, by giving you a random ticket from a roll next to them. The monthly free play is a nice incentive, but it goes by real quick. I know the big four indian casinos (Morongo, Pechanga, San Manuel, Agua Caliente) do not have comission anymore though they once did. You would have to bet high per hand to migate the

I've won about $50,000 and spent about $100,000 after stupid scratch offs. ODDS are AGAInST You !!! Your chance of Winning Million dollars are about the same if you buy 1 Ticket or Whole Roll. lets say winning odds are 1 in 5 million. By the math of statistical probability, count 1 is very close to count 100 or even 1000 when compared to the millions. A lady in SpringHill , Florida bought only 1 ticket ( and that was her first time playing Florida Cash $25 ticket) and she won 1 mill
