How Scratch-Off Odds Work
Mathematical Formula
Probability Formula:
P(win) = (Winning Tickets / Total Tickets) × Tickets Purchased
Example Calculation:
P(win) = (50 / 5000) × 1 = 0.01 = 1%
Understanding Your Odds
- • Higher winning ticket ratio = better odds
- • More tickets purchased = higher chance of winning
- • Odds are fixed per game - no strategy changes them
- • Each ticket has independent odds
