To gain a small advantage on which scratch card to choose, you can take the odds of a scratch card into account.

The odds will be written in one of three ways. 1/3 , 1 in 3 or 33% but they all mean the same thing. If you play a scratch ticket three times the average is that you might win once.

Odds are an average figure so take into account you may win three times in a row or even lose three times in a row.

You can’t though alter the odds but you can have more in your favor by playing more scratch cards.

You shouldn’t though only take the odds into account as they will be other factors to take into account. The cost of the ticket and the amount of money that can be won. A scratch card that has lower odds may have a smaller jackpot or pay structure and the higher the odds the higher the jackpot. Scratch cards start at 25p a ticket but they can be as high as £1 or £2  .

 One other thing to take into account is the enjoyment from the game. The more fun and interesting it is to play may mean more to you than how much you might win.

The odds on the National Lottery cards vary from card to card and are listed with each scratch card. The odds at Scratch2cash and Prime ScratchCards are advertised as being 1 in 3.
