  I have purchased a number of these tickets and have found a peculiar bit of information.

  If you add up the #'s exposed on the face of the ticket and divide by 34 (the # of #'s exposed) you get a number usually between 33.00 and 43.00. 

  If the number is greater than 41.5 the ticket is usually a winner.  If it is below 41.5 it is most likely a loser. 

  Lowest winner I have had was 41.51.

  Highest loser I have had was 41.49.

  My sample size is small, under 50 tickets.  But it seems to hold true.

  So take out your calculator app on your cell phone and add up the #'s before you buy!!!  Good luck.

  Just bought a new batch of these tickets and got losers with results up near 44.xx.  So the model did not hold!!  :-(

   

  But, I am still up a small amount in my bets placed on this scratcher!!  :-)
