However, it doesn’t always come down to the odds.
The jackpot prize – as well as the number available – play a big part.
For example, in the above table, the Fruity £500s scratchcard has loads of jackpots available – but the £500 jackpot is a lot smaller than some of the million pound prizes available on other £5 scratchcards.
Another example is the Win £50 scratchcard. At the beginning of this article, we actually said that £1 scratchcards generally have the worst odds. But not in this case.
The reduced jackpot prize has actually improved the overall odds, which make it one of the best £1 scratchcards to play.
Best odds or best jackpot?
You may notice that some of the best odds are with the smaller jackpot games.
If you want to win big, then maybe searching by scratchcard odds is the wrong way to approach National Lottery scratchcards.

EVERYBODY LOVES THE humble scratchcard.
Whether as a gift for someone you don’t really know or a way of spending change in search of a fortune, they’re an acceptable way of gambling at any time of day.
But, just how likely are you to win on one? And even then, how can you be sure that you haven’t bought a ticket from a batch that has no winners?
To answer the second part, a National Lottery spokesperson told TheJournal.ie about the auditing process.
“We have a robust auditing protocol for all of our Lottery games including scratch cards. All of our processes, checking systems and audits, are subject to audit to World Lottery Association standards. The National Lottery holds the highest level of accreditation available under World Lottery Association standards.
We retain two ticket printers, both of which supply games to The National Lottery as required throughout the year.
“The primary supplier is Pollard Banknote Limited, which is based in Winnipeg, Canada. The secondary supplier is Scientific Games, based in Leeds, UK. Their headquarters are in Atlanta, Georgia, USA. Both companies are renowned security printers, providing Lottery tickets to most of the major lotteries worldwide.”
So now you know there’s a winner in the tickets, what game should you play if you want a winner?
Scratch cards have eight games that run year-round, with seasonal games launching every couple of months.
Here’s the breakdown of how likely you are to win on each of those games.
So the odds are pretty good, in most cases. Especially when you consider that the odds of winning the main prize in the National Lottery draw is 1 in 8,145,060.
Best Odds Scratch Cards Game
But, as we all know, not all prizes are created equally. From free tickets to the jackpot, the array of prizes on offer is one of the selling points of scratch cards.
So here’s where your odds are best.
That is the breakdown for the top three most popular brands on National Lottery scratch cards, a spokesperson for the company says.
So even though All Cash has longer odds of winning, it does represent a better chance to get rich quick.
However, Winning Streak has the added bonus of potentially meeting Marty Whelan.
Whatever you do, we wish you luck.
