Maybe you can make more money at the scratchers than the lottery, but this article also states that you have better odds of winning more money by playing the higher price sctatchers than the $1 scratchers. The article states the odds of the $1-2+3 dollar scratchers are 1 in 9, 1 in 5, and 1 in 4 respectively. Then it says the odds of the $5 scratcher is 1 in 3.5. So am I wrong when I figure at the $1,$2,+$3 scratcher I am going to most likely lose $8, and on the $5 scratcher, which the article says is the better odds play, I am most likely going to lose $12.50. Is'nt losing $8 better than losing $12.50 ?
