Keep track of each ticket you buy and note the numbers. - **Actual Odds vs Advertised** [00:34] — Advertised odds are about 1 in 4, but actual winners appear about 1 in 6 or 7 tickets. - **Winners Grouping** [01:03] — Winners are often grouped together, sometimes back-to-back.

buying after a win or after several losers can improve your odds, especially on less popular rolls. ## Transcript a lot of smart and today I'm going to share some more tips with you on how to increase your odds with scratch-offs okay so with this strategy I like to call this one fun one winner in a scratch-off role and then find some more scratch-off role and then find some more later and what I mean by that is I keep track of the numbers on the cards of each scratch-off I buy in a roll so as each scratch-off I buy in a roll so as you can see here it says about one point you can see here it says about one point one and four point two nine is your chance of getting a winner so you would think that about one in every four tickets is going to be a winner right well it's not it's really about one in every six or seven if you've ever bought a bunch of tickets in a roll in a row like I have and kept track of the numbers you would see that it's about 1 numbers you would see that it's about 1 in 6 or 7 has a winner and sometimes they lump the winners together sometimes it's back-to-back winners I've noticed that if you break even you know just win your money back that usually there isn't a winner next to that one I think a lot of wants to make you feel like you've won and oh I'm just gonna keep playing but no they're it's almost a zero chance that you're gonna find a winner right after a break even so I never you know buy one right away after a break even and I've noticed it let's say if you you play a five dollar a scratch-off ticket and say you win ten dollars or maybe and say you win ten dollars or maybe fifteen dollars if you win ten dollars if you buy that next ticket you have a really good chance of winning and really good chance of winning and possibly getting a big one I think that is because the lotto wants you to wants to make you think hey I've I've doubled I should stop while I'm ahead and not play again and you have a good chance of winning that next one or sometimes it's the the one after the next one it the the one after the next one it there will be a winner they don't always lump them together it just it's a good chance but if if I buy a breakeven ticket and I find a winner what I'll do is I will keep that ticket and keep track of the number and I will come back to the same store and buy from the same role and I'll just ask the clerk what's the number of the next ticket on the roll and if it's about like I said 6 or 7 tickets later or five tickets later 7 tickets later or five tickets later I'll buy that next one and you know I have a pretty good chance of finding that next winner this works especially that next winner this works especially well if you're buying from scratch off roles that are not as popular so if you're buying from the most popular you have a little bit less chance of buying the next winner but I mean you still have a good chain you have a better chance if you're keeping track of your numbers like this so sometimes I'll just buy one ticket only and just use this buy one ticket only and just use this method while I'm buying my pick three or pick four or takes a two step I will just buy one scratch off and every day or every other day I keep track of the numbers yeah sometimes you you're gonna notice it jumps up twenty or thirty and you get thrown off but if you if you can do the math in your head still you know you just say you buy the six and it you just say you buy the six and it jumps up to say twenty-one or twenty-two well you know about twenty four is probably a good chance it's a winner and probably a good chance it's a winner and with the got to mention with the the this because sometimes I won't mess with the $2 or $5 and I'll just buy like a twenty dollar game like once a week or twice a week and there's only 25 tickets twice a week and there's only 25 tickets in a twenty five dollar roll and with in a twenty five dollar roll and with each roll is 30% winners each roll is 30% winners and 70% losers so with any role that you play any game if you use this method it's going to help you out and sometimes you might win 20% of the role and you can let the others buy all the losers because a lot of lot of players scratch off players you'll see they just come in and I want one of these six and two number 9's and one three and one number number 9's and one three and one number 15 and they'll buy a bunch of different random tickets from random different roles without any other method but that roles without any other method but that sometimes I'll do that if I'm feeling sometimes I'll do that if I'm feeling you know bold but most of the time I so Charles sand it it has helped me out a lot because ice to be one of those random ticket buyers and I got tired of buying a bunch of random losers and this method works a lot better and hopefully it'll help you out and I'm gonna make some more videos later where I actually go out to stores and buy scratch offs and I'll show you how I buy my tickets I have more tips in the future so keep have more tips in the future so keep watching and thanks for watching
