Coin toss,

I also don't know which is better, 20Gs a week sounds good.

I have horrendous luck with scratchers so I would go with the Raffle.

Not that I've ever had good luck with a Raffle though either.

But over the years I've bought more scratchers than raffle tickets and never won jacksquat worth mentioning.

What's better between these two?

Illinois has a new $20 scratcher, 20 X 20. the top prize is $20,000 a week for 20 years.

The raffle is usually a $20 ticket for a shot at one $1,000,000 prize.
