How Do Online Scratchers Work, and How Can You Win?

May 24, 2022 by Gigi Leave a Comment

 

Are you a fan of scratch-off lotteries?

People have become enamored with the immediate payoff of scratch card lotteries since their invention in the 1970s. And now, they’re more popular than ever and see higher sales than the Powerball and Mega Millions lottery. Not only that, but the online variant is also gaining ground.

Online scratch cards or “scratchers” have become one of the most featured games in online casinos. It’s all thanks to improvements in the tech regarding accessibility, ease of use, safety, and variety. And like their paper card counterpart, the idea of winning big in an instant is very appealing to online players.

Read on to learn about online lottery scratchers and how they work.

What Are Scratchers?

Online scratch cards are the digital equivalent of traditional or paper lotto scratchers.

For those unfamiliar with this type of lottery, a scratch card or ticket is a paper card with hidden numbers or symbols. You scratch the coating off the surface to reveal the images underneath. Typically, you win if you can match three of the secret characters.

With traditional lottery tickets, you had to wait days for the organizer to announce the winning numbers. Scratch cards eliminated the waiting to know if you won or not. It was dubbed “the instant game” and was also an instant success.

How Do You Play Scratch Cards Online?

You can play scratchers online on your smartphone, computer, or tablet. These online games use a Random Number Generator or RNG to decide the outcome.

How do you play? Simply log on into your favorite, reputable online casino and pick a card that you fancy. Online scratch cards come in all shapes and sizes with different prices and a corresponding reward.

A typical online ticket has a three-by-three grid, with each square hiding a symbol or number. Clicking on a panel reveals the hidden image. Or you can press the “reveal all” button to show the entire card.

Got three matching symbols? Congratulations, you win!

Is There a Strategy to Win?

It’s all luck, baby.

Playing scratchers online doesn’t require any skill or strategy. You don’t have to think hard about whose birthdays are coming up, the dates of anniversaries, or whatever to come up with a winning combination. Just buy a ticket, scratch, and see if Lady Luck favors you. The beauty is in its simplicity.

But don’t worry about casinos rigging the game so that you don’t have a chance to win. Scratch card lotteries have some of the highest return-to-player (RTP) ratios among all online casino games.

Popular online scratch cards like Merlin’s Millions and Pig Wizard have RTP ratios above 95 percent. What it means is that for every 100 dollars you spend, you can expect 95 dollars or more to return back to you.

Scratch and Win Without Leaving Your Home

Scratchers are probably the most convenient form of trying one’s luck on betting games. You don’t have to go out to buy a ticket that tragically ends up in a ditch somewhere because it slipped out of your pocket. Instead, you can play on your phone and enjoy the “instant win” from the comfort of your home.
