Is there any sort of art to buying scratch offs?

We give "Lottery Wreaths" as white elephant gifts at Christmas. Last year, my brother won $31, this year my sister won $5. There is no rhyme or reason to it.
White elephant lottery 2 years in a row here. Last year was 3 this year was 25. My wife and I will usually get 2 in a row and so far we usually break even.
Had the best luck with those lottery vending machines. Someone left 6 dollars in, got 6 one dollar scratch offs, won 75 dollars. :cheers

We were having a benefit for one of my co-workers at a local bar earlier this year. One guy, who had quit to pursue another opportunity but always comes back to support his old co-workers, was playing Keno and hit on the $880 jackpot while we were all sitting there. He gave half to the family in need.
I also have one customer on the route that goes to the casino pretty regular. All I know is he always seems to win a whole lot more than he loses.

Winning scratch offs are discolored where the perforation is on the bottom. If you can see the tickets pick the one with the slightly discolored perforation and I will bet its a winner...
I wonder what the odds of winning something would be if you took like a 1,000 bucks into a gas station and bought all the scratch offs? I vote smokeyD to try this!
Its a racket,and its suposed to be set for 39% payout roughly so if you bought 1000 worth you should win around 390.........just enough to keep you hooked and keep coming back.
Old co-worker would buy rolls at a time here and there. Never broke even. Crap ton of free ticket and 1 dollar winners. Usually plays about 20.00 a day on them. The most he has won was 500. I have yet seen someone win big on it. To much of a rip off to me. Id rather bet on the chiefs.
Better off playing a couple at the time and waliking away,most put the money right back in the machine till its all gone.Better off playing Blackjack or something you have a little control over the out come.
I try to stay away,if im ahead i want more if im behind i just want to get back to where i was at and if i get there,well...........i can start all over again because i got even.Went to the Riverboat in our area and got 5gs up a short time later left 1500 down.It was fun but expensive so i just stay away.
I dont play scratch offs but i do have ALOTof friends who do and they all said not to play 1.00 or 5.00 scratch offs because you barely break even if you win. They paly 10.00 or 20.00 ones and always seem to win decent amounts, usually the go once a week and buy 100.00 worth of 20.00 scratch offs and usually win there money back and sometimes win 500 or a thousand. Kinda like slot machines it seems the penny machines never pay but the big money slots do
