Understanding Ohio Scratch-Off Odds
Each scratch-off ticket has predetermined odds based on the total number of printed tickets and prize allocations. Odds are typically displayed as “1 in X.” For example, a “1 in 4” ticket means that, on average, one in every four tickets is a winner. This does not guarantee a win in any specific batch.
