Visit this blog to identify the best Scratch and Win tickets available for play in Ontario. Only 4% of lottery players regularly play scratch and win. This is remarkable given that it is the only form of play where the player can actually receive favourable odds.

The attraction of the big jackpot fuels the main lotteries. Multi-million dollar scores but the odds of winning the 649 are 14 million: 1! As such, players should not be buying tickets until the prize is $14 million. But by that time the number of players expands exponentially and the pot is usually split more than one way.

With scratch and win tickets the entire outcome of the game is predetermined. A player can determine what their odds are of winning the jackpot and of winning any one prize. The Ontario Lottery Corporation kindly publishes what the current status is of all games on a regular basis. With this information a player knows if the jackpot(s) has been won or not for any particular game and the player can estimate how many tickets have been sold to date.  Scratch and win games return between 60% -70% of the total revenue taken into the players, assuming that all tickets are sold. The more expensive the ticket, the higher the return. When one combines this information with the unsold ticket information, a player is able to identify lotteries where the purchase of a ticket actually puts the player in a position where the odds are in their favour. Granted, the odds of winning a jackpot will always be low but why not only play games where the wager is justified? Scratch and Win games give the player a chance to make a “value play”. Why not improve your chances of winning?
