How to Increase Your Chances of Winning Lotto Scratchers

There is only one way I know that you can increase your chances of winning on Lottery Scratchers.  You first check the number of winners for that particular scratcher on the CA lotto website such as this million dollar fortune page http://www.calottery.com/Play/Scratchers-games/$10-Scratchers/1000000-fortune-762

If you know how to do some simple math you can see if your odds are better or worse for winning the top or any of  the prizes.

As of this posting there have been only 3 winners with the odds of winning the top prize set at 1 in 1.2 million.  With 3 winners you would expect an average of 3.6 million tickets to have been sold.  However, if you look at the odds of the other prizes and multiply that by the number of winners, it appears that over 6 million tickets to have sold.  For example, the same game has 50 $10,000 winners with the odds set at 1 in 600,000.  Well 13 of those have already been won.  If you multiply 13 times 600,000 you get 7.8 million tickets sold. 

Please note, these are just averages as we do not know the exact amount sold, but it does give you slightly improved odds knowing there is a set amount of tickets for each game and you might improve your odds from 1 in 1.2million to 1 in 900,000.  Still a very tough game to win and that's about as close as you will ever get to improving your odds.
