Buy in units of 5. Hope you get higher numbers, like 40s - 60s.

Never buy like 20 units from 1 game. Get 4 different games of 5 instead.

don't buy them. but if you do. check your state's website for the tickets that haven't won yet. usually less people buy the expensive ones. so your chances are generally greater on the $20+ scratchoffs.

If you ever win any money always only use half of it to buy more scratch offs. That way when you inevitably lose you can still take some of the money home. Too many people make the mistake of using all of their winnings to buy more tickets and then lose and the lottery ends up getting all of their money back plus extra.

You will probably never win big but as long as you are depriving the lottery of getting all their money back from you you are still winning in a way.

you need to be very strategic about it:
1. always buy from the same vendor (the more you lose, the higher the odds that you'll finally buy a winning ticket from that vendor)
2. always buy the same brand of ticket (same reason than above)
3. manage your psychology. 90% of the game is about managing your psychology, 10% is about having a solid strategy. every time you lose and want to quit you're throwing your chance to make it. 100% of winners have tried.

>> No.53112724

you can look online to see which games are newer and havent had a ton of winners yet or old and should be due for a big one etc. and you can see where winners are bought from and try to increase your odds there (publixes seem to be pretty good..) also ask for the ticket number it's on and you may be able to increase your odds there too, for example I prefer not to buy if the roll is too fresh

go to your states website, find the one with the best odds, only play that one. secondly watch the prizes available, look at the low money prizes to get a sense of how much of the stock has been bought, and only buy when a smaller proportion of the large money prizes have been claimed than of the small. go to the website and look at the stats yourself, play strategically, and use your redemption codes for the 2nd chance raffle on your losing tickets if your state does that.
the best strategy for lotto games generally is not to play, but if you must, follow the above advice.

it's this.
there's already a huge audience out there watching, through game/casino affiliation and direct audience subs and donations, you could potentially offset the shitty returns the odds offer.
my source on that claim is that theres already people doing this buying batches of $1000 cards for a stream, even on tiktok with their crazy strict gambling rules it's worth it for them.

kek even in the absolute best odds state lottery (massachusetts last time i checked) you are getting something like 82 cents on the dollar expected value, BEFORE TAXES. and yes you will have to pay taxes if you win anything bigger than a few thousand. so all in all its like buying 50 cents for a dollar
