DON’T CHASE YOUR LOSSES

A man chases a money bag on a treadmill.

Some might think it’s a strategy to win back losses by buying more tickets. But it really doesn’t work that way. INSTANT tickets are simply meant to be a fun moment in the day.

To keep it fun, it’s best to accept that you may lose. And at other times, you may win!

WILL 1 OUT OF ANY 4 TICKETS I BUY WIN?

Four rows of tickets are shown, with only a fourth of the tickets in colour to represent those that may have prizes.

Beating the odds is never a strategy. If odds are 1 in 3.97, you are not necessarily guaranteed to win if you buy 4 tickets, because those are the overall odds across all tickets in the game. You could buy 4 tickets and win on all 4, win on none, or win on some. It’s random chance.

DOES IT HELP TO BUY MULTIPLE TICKETS?

Many people think that buying multiple tickets will increase the chances to win. The truth is that winning tickets are randomly distributed and buying more doesn’t necessarily mean better odds of winning.

So, in a batch of 10 tickets, there’s no guarantee that any will be winning tickets. Don’t worry about how you select your tickets—just have fun making your picks.
