1. Play the same game

It can be beneficial to pick a game and then stick to that one - especially if someone hasn't claimed the big prize yet.

Each time you or someone else loses, you instantly increase your odds of winning.

Since there are at least a few winners in each roll, the more tickets you buy, the more you increase your chances of winning.

2. Play the Crossword games

The lottery expert said one of the best games to play is the Crossword puzzles.

These have great winnings and some of the best odds for players.

The Instant Prize Crossword from the California Lottery has a fairly high probability of winning up to $2,000.

Players can win more, but the odds decrease the larger the prize is.

3. Holiday tickets

The expert said it's best to avoid the holiday tickets as they only win during the middle of the month.

This means that the likelihood of winning is much less as players have a shorter window to buy tickets.

4. Play multiplier tickets

Multiplier tickets are another great game to play as your odds of winning are much higher.

This is because players have more chances to win multiple prizes.

Most games work like this: match any of your numbers to either winning number and you could win whatever prize is being offered.

Plus, if you win, you get to multiply your prize by the multiplier number for that game.

5. Avoid Win This or That tickets

The game Win This or That tickets is one to avoid as they have terrible odds.

The lottery expert said it's best to stay away as players most likely lose.

6. Play $30 tickets

Not all states offer these, but if yours does, you are in luck as the lottery expert finds these to be the best game to play.

7. Never play with number seven

Forget what you heard about lucky number seven as the lottery winner said this is the worst number to see on a scratcher.

He suggested avoiding any tickets that have the number seven in the title.

Other scratcher strategies

Certain numbers perform better than others, at least according to some experts.

Each scratch-off game has a roll of tickets each with a number on the bottom.

The first ticket will be numbered 000, the next ticket will be 001, then 002 and so on.

The TikTokers said in another video that if you see tickets with the number 16 or 24 in the white box buy them immediately, as they tend to be winners.

Another tip is to play newer scratch-off games.

Players who play new games tend to win more as the larger prizes have yet to be won.

With older games, because they've been around longer, the likelihood of someone claiming the big prize is higher.
