Scratch cards are notorious for having super-duper-extra low chances of winning the jackpot. So low it can go even to 1 in 500,000,000. The only pro of scratch cards is that you don't have to do advanced math to win something.

The math behind this isn't so complicated, let me explain Every ticket costed 1 dollar. He figured in a simple way that there is about 1 in 50 chance to get a winning ticket of 50$ and a 1 in 1500 chance to get a winning ticket of 1000$ dollars. Imagine if you buy 1500 tickets. Odds say that you will get 30 tickets that will give you 50 dollars each (1500 dollars in total) and 1 ticket will give you 1000 dollars. In the end you have spent 1500 dollars and have made 2500 dollars.
@KiterTMK

Doesn't make much sense because it's not about whether one person does it or the entire census, because in the end the odds would be against the lottery. So basically, if you take the salesprice of all the tickets and the sum of the payout of the tickets, they would see they would pay out more than they would earn. So either that is the case, that the lottery made a huge mistake, or it was simply a gamble to be on the luckier side of the spectrum.

Same thing with winning $1000 for 1 in every 1500 tickets. Very high chance of winning 1 in every 1500, maybe higher maybe lower. Due to standard deviation he may have gotten higher than calculated or lower than calculated each time, but in general since, even if the odds didnt check out you could still win, he won many nearly every time.

Well this could be avoided if this lottery just did like the casino games...ofc they need high winning odds but still need to earn on it...so let’s say you roll a dice 6 times...and you win on 2+4 but the casino wins on 1,3,5 and 6... you will have high chances but In the end the casino will always earn money if you roll 6 times...if you won on 2,4 and 6 and the casino only won on 1,3 and 5 that would make the odds 50/50 which means no one will earn from the outcome if you were to roll 6 times...
