  • We hear a lot of myths about scratch-offs:
    “Winners are only sold in big cities!”
    "Winning scratch-offs are only found in the front of the pack."
    "I bought three tickets in a row and didn’t win. The odds of 1:3 are wrong."
    And many more...
    Watch here to debunk all the myths and learn how scratch-off odds are determined.

    One last thing I buy a 20 dollar ticket and win 20 dollars. For your information that's not a win.

    I can show you several times I have bought 5 or more consecutive losers and I have only seen on 2 purchases consecutive winners. If this was me and I did this to someone I would be charged with theft by deception. This is outright greed. I can send you pictures of several times I have bought 20 and 30 dollar tickets that this has happened. I keep my tickets put them in your second chance game you have and it only allows a 1200 dollar limit. I buy that many in 3 to 5 days. I have yet to see anything out of it yet. Imagine that 🤔

    There's always one person that thinks they have the answers to anything and the reply from Mustafa is a prime example. If you paid attention I keep them all and have the numbers on the back that shows they came from the same lot. There are only 24 tickets in a roll of 20 and 30 dollar tickets so how do they say 75 percent payout. There would have to be 75 percent of 24 if that were the case rocket scientist. Roughly 17 or 18 winners which that would never happen because they would be broke. They give out little money majority of the time when and if you win anyway.

    They never advertise if any explanation as how many States playing on a scratch off or if it's only in your state. Fucking confusing. They shouldn't print odds of winning if it's played in multiple states, wouldn't matter then.

      Hi Mitch! Ohio Lottery scratch-offs are only sold in Ohio. The only multi-state games are, Powerball, Mega Million, and Lucky for Life.

    That's why they say 'approximately' and you'll never gather all the tickets to prove amount printed or winning ones.Audit them like everyone else to keep them a little honest.ijs

    1. No winners are distributed to any store or vending machine in Lakewood.
    2. Locals can't find any winners because they're all claimed by out-of-state players, who should NOT be allowed to claim.
    There's your explanation for never getting a winner. #realitycheck

    What does it mean when the game's overall odds of winning and odds of winning a cash prize are the same?

    • @ohlottery
      @ohlottery  2 года назад

      Hi there! This refers to a game like Cash Explosion where players can get an “ENTRY” to get on the Game Show - they may or may not get on the show. There is no cash value for an "ENTRY" ticket and those "ENTRY" tickets are not calculated as a win. It’s telling the players their odds of winning a cash prize on the scratch-off ticket because the “ENTRY” wins don’t have a cash value.

    I bought 5 / $2. Tickets and nothing so if odds are 1/3.89 there should be a winner. I also bought 20 tickets in a row for my Dads birthday and nothing this us all s scam!!!!! Stop giving odds because they are not true!!!!!!!

    • @ohlottery

      Hi Linda, The overall odds of winning are calculated based on the entire print quantity of the games. The prizes are randomly generated throughout the entire print run of the game and therefore there are times when players will have consecutive non-winning tickets and other times when there will be consecutive winning tickets. All of our prize structures are audited and verified through 3rd party accounting firms as well as the Auditor of State’s Office. The randomness of the prizes protects our players from retailers or store clerks trying to count the number of tickets without a winner and buying the winning ticket themselves. Thanks for your support of the Ohio Lottery and education in Ohio. Have a great day!
