FAQ

What Are “Overall Odds”?  
Overall odds provide the average amount of winning tickets per game.  For instance, in Scratchers if a game has overall odds of 1 in 4 that means that over the entire pack of tickets there will be one winning ticket per every four tickets.  Because winning tickets are randomly distributed, it does not mean that if you buy four tickets you are guaranteed to have a winner among those four.  For example, say that someone in front of you buys four tickets but does not have a winner among them.  The next person to buy tickets may receive two winners among their four tickets purchased.  It's all a matter of luck and that's what makes it fun!
