Scratch Off Tickets = Tax on the Stupid.

There is no strategy. There is no reasonable expectation to do anything but lose in the long haul. The expected value of a scratch ticket is around forty cents. So, why even get involved.

Save all the money you'd spend on scratchies, go to Foxwoods, and gamble with a better shot at winning.
