Myth: I can improve my chances of winning if I play“smart”.

Fact: Your personal strategies, superstitions or “lucky” rituals have no impact on the final outcome of a game.  Due to the random nature of the draw, it’s impossible to predict what combination of numbers will be drawn or which SCRATCH & WIN ticket in the Retailer’s display will be a winner.
