In most places the lottery prohibits you from buying tickets from the store you work at.
Better strategy to win scratch off lottery tickets?
- Thread starter easym
- Start date
It is however a thrill of an idea for some for $1 - x .
I won $1000 on my first tri state Megabucks ticket at age 18 now 50. A lot of money then. I occasionally play that game or power ball when insanely large and feel ahead.
Survival of the fittest
But I do agree with you. It’s actually a tax on the poor.

Math suggests buy four at a time.
What math?
Pollard Banknote.
Op was talking about the scratch tickets who have a 3 digit number on the bottom. But yes draw tickets are just as you described.

Great topic.
Lets’s be honest. If God wants you to win the lottery, shouldn’t you just need one ticket?
What works for me is my local yocal country gas station needs proceeds from lottery tickets sales to survive. I buy one $6 Lotto Max ticket every time I fuel the Burb, which costs over $100. It’s like an extra 6% tax on my gas. The gasoline price fluctuation is more than that. It’s in the noise for me.

Here’s the Lotto Max layout. Someone out east won $31,000,000 yesterday. There was a poll done some time ago if folks would rather have 30 prizes of $1 million or 1 prize of $30 million. Hands down it was one prize of $30 mil. Lottery players are greedy buggers.

One guy buys one $1 ticket.
Another guy buys one million $1 tickets.
Who wins?
The numbers show neither.
As someone who had done years of work calculating and honing statistical models, you would be surprised just how dead nuts the results get to be. You can't win.
By the way, the casinos and lotto runners LOVE IT when somebody cashes in. Best advertising, by a long shot.
Good luck...

I'll spend $2 when its over $400 m. Its worth a dream
That's not a strategy that's addiction. I know this a sarcasm but sadly people do that... It is ok to bet on something, if you are afford to lose.

Does anyone know anybody that won a lottery? I don't. Most I ever got on a scratcher was a free ticket.
Yes, I do. He was a salesman. Funny he stopped answering my calls. He won $ 3 million. The odds are I wouldn’t know someone who did. Crazy.
Another popular one in Canada is 6-49 where the ticket price is less than Lotto max but the prizes are less. A million would me nice. No need to get greedy. Here is a list of winners in BC with a much greater chance of knowing someone who won.
I posted this on the previous page, there is a FANTASTIC MOVIE about this story, all true, real names, real town and real company that he retired from.I had a family member who won $10k once on a scratch ticket. She was elated and said things like 'my time has come' and continued to play the lottery because 'someone has to win it'
She may have won $10k but she spend tens of thousands of dollars over the years playing the lottery in various forms. At least $30k before winning the $10k.
The only strategy I am aware of was from several years ago and was due to an oversight when creating the game. Interesting story, really.
How a retired couple found lottery odds in their favor
It was completely legal and it won them millions. Jon Wertheim reports on how Jerry Selbee and his wife Marge used "basic arithmetic" to crack the code on certain lottery gameswww.cbsnews.com
I suspect you will find it a great movie. BTW - those loop holes have been closed now so dont get any ideas even if you think you can do it.
The "old" retired guy was a genius.
Jerry & Marge Go Large
JERRY & MARGE GO LARGE is inspired by the remarkable true story of retiree Jerry Selbee, who discovers a mathematical loophole in the Massachusetts lottery and, with the help of his wife, Marge, wins millions and uses the money to revive their small Michigan town.
