Do you have a higher chance winning on a lottery ticket or scratch ticket?
I don't wanna hear neither don't have a good chance, I'm just asking which has a better chance you think?

I use to sell lottery while in college in Boston. I noticed the 2 dollar tickets did better than the 5 and 10 dollar tickets. 1 dollar tickets were completely worthless. But this was over 10 years ago and now there are 20 and 30 dollar tickets. But I use to tell customers the best tickets were the 2 dollar ones because I saw more big wins from those than from the 5 and 10 dollar ones. a 10 dollar book of tickets often only had 1 100 dollar ticket.
I won more money in Vegas playing poker and blackjack.

As someone else said, scratch tickets are lottery tickets.
Scratch lottery tickets have a winning range from about 1 in 3 to about 1 in 7. Again, as someone said the odds vary.
As for numbers games, there are a wide variety of games with a wide variety of odds. Most are higher than 1 in 7.
By the way, you need to be more specific what you mean by "winning". I could "win" on a scratch ticket with a 1 in 3 chance, but I might only "win" back my 1 dollar that I already spent. Is that winning?

There is no "think." It is mathematics.
Your inability to understand the obvious answer, since odds of both are easily accessible, proves that you should not gamble.
The lottery is a tax on people bad at math.

Scratch. Some scratch tickets' chances of winning a prize are 1 in 4. To even get three right in Lotto, your chances aren't great--like one in 25,000.
