I remember reading about a few people who had figured out how to improve their odds on scratch offs, and did pretty well for awhile. I think they were watching to see whether the big prize tickets had been redeemed and if the tickets were near the time they would be done in the market they would go around buying quite a few tickets until they hit the remaining big prize. I would say still a crap shoot as it sounded like they were spending quite a bit in hopes they would get it before someone randomly bought the bigger prize tickets.I've never tried any scratchers. I wonder where the chance is better, the lotto or the scratchers...
