As for scratch tickets, Win For Life is the one that makes you dream the most, with the possibility of winning up to €5,000 per month, for life. But apart from this dream, what are the real chances of maximizing your investment. To win the jackpot, your chances are only 1 in 1,250,000. With Win For Life at €1, the average return is 69%. The Win For Life increases your average return to 74% while it reaches 78% with the €10 ticket. To minimize your losses, it is therefore preferable to opt for the most expensive ticket.
The Subito remains one of the favorite scratch tickets of Belgians. It is also the oldest, which has grown since its launch since numerous variations have emerged. With a 10 euro ticket the average chance of winning is 73% of your initial stake. As for Subito at €1, we drop to 43%. For the same amount, it is therefore more interesting to play the most expensive games…
The National Lottery is releasing a new “innovative and responsible” scratch game: everything you need to know about Lady Fortuna
Don’t be fooled by the chances of winning displayed on the back of the scratch tickets either. Indeed, if we take Winners Club, for example, the game displays a chance of winning of… 1 in 1. We might believe, wrongly, that we will come out a winner every time, but it is is of course too good to be true. The ticket, sold for €3, does not guarantee that you will recover your stake, but simply that you will not lose everything.
The ticket that saves you the most, on average, is the €20 Cash. It’s also the most expensive ticket on the market, but with a 15.5% chance of winning more than your stake, it ranks just outside the top 10 tickets offering a return on investment. And, in this case, with an average gain of €42.18, it outperforms all the others
Here are the next scratch games offered by the National Lottery: the chances of winning are increasing
The €1 Subito, although offering good chances of winning more than its face value, is not likely to change your life anytime soon, with a maximum gain of €20,000, but above all an average gain of €1.89 barely.
If you are used to playing certain scratch games, you should also know that for the same face value, some games allow you to win much more than others. So, if the €10 Subito is the champion in winning probabilities, this is far from being the case for the Winter Millions. And the difference is significant since the Subito has a real winning index of almost 25%, the Winter Millions barely exceeds 9%. Certainly, the jackpot is larger for the Winter Millions (€500,000 compared to €400,000 for the Subito) and the chance of winning it is also greater (1 in 750,000 compared to 1 in 1,500,000), but you have much more likely to get nothing at all.
