HOLIDAY THEMED SCRATCHERS

We Review Two Of Our Favorite Games Available This Season

Yes I’ll admit I have a lot of fun playing Scratchers® games. They are available all across the state, easy to play and can pay out quite nice!

One of my favorites has been the crossword Scratchers. Mainly because the game has a little more anticipation to it than others. The game play has you scratching off icons to reveal your letters which are then scratched off the game board. The more complete words you reveal, the more you win. I like to take my time and work on each revealed letter, that way the game lasts longer.

This holiday season, the Arizona Lottery is introducing Naughty Or Nice Crossword as an available game and I’m hoping I receive a few of these games in my stocking! The overall odds of winning are right around 3 to 1, which is typical for most Scratchers. As a result, I tend to buy about $30 worth of tickets (each game costs $3) and I’m hoping for three or more winners.

Speaking of winners, there are over 600,000 winning tickets out there. Sure, by the time you read this, some will have been claimed, but since you can win any of 11 different prizes, including $20,000, I’m always ready to try my luck!

A second holiday themed Scratcher I’ve enjoyed playing and giving as gifts is 25 Days Of Winning. This game has a 10X multiplier which, if revealed, multiplies your win! There are over a half a million prizes available, with seven total $100,000 prizes to be had when the game was released.

The game costs $10 per play, so again, with winning odds of around 3 to 1, I’m limiting my bankroll to $100 and hoping for three or more winners. At press time five of the seven $100,000 prizes were all still available and only some of the $1,000, $500, $200, and $100 prizes had been awarded.

If you want to see just how many prizes for a particular Scratchers game are still out there, visit ArizonaLottery.com, click on “Scratchers” near the top of the site, and select an individual game. Once the game-specific page loads, you’ll see which prizes are still out there.

Players can buy any one of five holiday themed scratchers this season with $1, $2, $3, $5, and $10 versions making them fun to play and great gifts too! Players can purchase Scratchers, Draw Game, Quick Draw, and Fast Play tickets at all Arizona Lottery retail locations. Players can also access the Arizona Lottery Players Club on their website at AZPlayersClub.com by downloading the app on the App Store or Google Play. For more info, visit ArizonaLottery.com. $
