Year of the Tiger (#619) (California)

Official website for Game

Single Ticket:
Cost: $1
Chances of at least breaking even:
11.1% (~9 to 1)


Note: While technically the the free ticket is a breakeven prize as they are both worth the same amount, they are not equal as you can not exchange the free ticket for a cash amount and walk away break-even. You are forced to continue playing the free ticket (and possibly again and again...) until you either lose or win a prize. More likely than not you will lose. This drops your chances of at least breaking even from the stated amount on the website to the odds calculated above.


Optimal Chances:
Buying 5 ticket(s)
Cost: $5
Chances of at least breaking even:
23.5% (~4.3 to 1)


Median Prizes
(half the time prizes will be less than this amount, half the time it will be more)
10 tickets ($10): $3
100 tickets ($100): $50
1,000 tickets ($1,000): $515


**Since only a finite number of scratch tickets were printed, overall odds used and number of winners may vary based on manufacturer's omissions, unsold tickets, reorders and unclaimed prizes.
