  A new scratch ticket in Florida, $50 Grand, lists the prize odds as:
  
  -------------------
  Odds of Winning     
  
  $50,000.00 1-in-312,000
  $10,000.00 1-in-1,248,000
  $5,000.00 1-in-624,000
  $1,000.00 1-in-78,000
  $500.00 1-in-10,000
  $100.00 1-in-960
  $50.00 1-in-187.5
  $25.00 1-in-120
  $20.00 1-in-60
  $15.00 1-in-60
  $10.00 1-in-7.5
  $5.00 1-in-7.5
  -------------------
  
  So, you have a much better chance of getting the $50,000 top prize than the second place prize of $10,000...

  I don't know if you noticed or not but the odds for the top prize are higher than the 2nd AND 3rd prize.  I think they are trying to increase the top prizes to entice play.  Could be a new thing.  Who knows.

  How are you going to win if you don't play?
