There’s something so satisfying about digging a quarter out of your car’s cup holder and knowing right away if you’ve won off of a scratch-off ticket. Instead of waiting for a huge drawing (that you probably won’t win), you can find out instantly if you’ve won some money.

So many fans of playing scratch-offs just pick ones with the snazziest name or the highest grand prize. Don’t do that! There’s a better way to pick which scratch-off game you should play from the New York State lottery - look at their odds of winning

You Need To Be Picky Which Scratch-Offs You Buy

What many people don’t realize before they grab a scratch-off is that different games have different numbers of prizes still available. 

By just picking any ticket at random at the convenience store, you could have possibly picked a game that  may only have one or two prizes left to win. (And some of them don’t have any prizes left at all, but New York State hasn’t pulled them from stores yet! How rude.)

Your best bet is to buy scratch-offs that have the highest odds of winning, based on the number of prizes still up for grabs. 

But how do you know which games those are?

Which NY Lotto Scratch-Offs Have The Best Odds Of Winning?

Right on the New York State Lottery website, you can look at the odds for every scratch-off game currently available.

Each game lists the amount of each cash prize, the number of those prizes still available to win, and the odds of winning percentage for each.

Unfortunately, making sense of all of that data the NY Lotto provides can be confusing, and if you’re not good with numbers, all of the info could make your head spin.
