00:00Do you feel lucky, punk? Then try your good fortune on an instant scratch-off ticket.

00:11In some states, lottery proceeds from scratch-off sales are dedicated to public education,
00:16lowering state property tax, and programs for the elderly. Four-leaf clovers or proceeds aside,
00:21your chances of winning a prize are about one in four. Don't think that just because you
00:25purchase scratch-offs in groups of four that you're going to win. Not every one in four
00:29tickets will give you a big payday. Super disappointing, we know. To make matters worse,
00:34your chances of winning a top prize decrease depending on the type of ticket and cash amount.
00:39Hoping to score $5,000 on a $1 ticket? Well, your odds of raking in that dough are one in 60,000.
00:45Those looking to bring home $500,000 off a $10 scratch-off, your odds are just getting worse.
00:51Folks trying their luck can expect a one in two million chance of winning the top prize.
00:55Bummed about your limited chance of winning? Wait, there's more. For all you hopeful millionaires,
01:00the chance of winning a cool mill off a $10 ticket is very hard. To be exact, your odds of bathing in
01:06a bathtub full of cash are one in three million. But don't let the numbers scare you and give a
01:11scratch-off a go. Just like Effie says in the Hunger Games, may the odds be ever in your favor.
