In this brief guide we will address the issue of identifying the winning scratch card. Nobody intends to perform miracles, and our advice is to be wary of those who do it, but we aim to provide readers with some small tricks to get a winning ticket.

First of all, when it comes to scratch cards, numerous coupons of different amounts and with different win percentages, amount of money to be won and game methods are inserted into the same cauldron – classic scratch cards and scratch cards online. In fact, the scratch card has been present in Italy for exactly 30 years, having been founded in 1991. Since then, numerous ticket denominations have been created and it is present in different price ranges ranging from 1 to 20 euros, passing through 2 , 3, 5 and 10 euros. Based on the played ticket you have different odds of winning and different amounts to dream up. In case of victory, for prizes that do not exceed 500 euros, players can collect the winnings in cash at the nearest betting shop. For higher prizes, from 501 to 10,000 euros, an appointment must be made at an authorized point of sale. For prizes over 10,000, you will need to go to the bank with the winning ticket.

After this first roundup, the time has come for the 4 tips and clues that we can provide to readers to identify the really lucky coupons. As mentioned, these are exclusively advices that do not claim to be exact but which can provide a valuable contribution.

First of all, the suggestion is to buy tickets considered "with a high probability of winning". These are often tickets that have a certain value and that exceed or are very close to the winning ticket for every 3 purchased. By consulting the website of the Autonomous Administration of State Monopolies, we discover that today 4 different scratch cards are similar to what has been said and are:

• the 10X with a winning ticket on 2.88,
• the Maxi Billionaire with one out of 3.10,
• the Naval Battle with one out of 3.23
• and, more detached, the Soldi Cash ticket with 1 out of 3.68 winning.

The second tip is to always check the serial numbers. It is proven that in a series of 60 tickets 80% of those with the number 000 or 059 are losers. Conversely, between 001 and 031 they are more often winners albeit with different percentages.

A third piece of advice instead concerns checking the codes of the previous tickets in the cases of the Billionaire and the Maxi Billionaire. In fact, in such contexts, it is very useful to read the three letters next to the amounts present once the ticket has been scratched. Each of these three letters corresponds to a win as, for example, in the case of the writing VNT which identifies a winning ticket of 20 euros. Here, the player must know that each code belongs to a series of 10 tickets and the first letter at the bottom left of the coupon will suggest that in subsequent tickets there may be a win of equal or higher value.

The fourth and last piece of advice is to notice a ticket with aesthetic and/or printing imperfections. This ticket, in fact, often turns out to be a winner.
