What is ValueScore™?
ValueScore™ grades every scratch off from 0 to 100. Higher is better.
The odds printed on a ticket only tell you how often it wins something, and most of those wins are small prizes or a free ticket. ValueScore™ looks deeper. It also counts how much of your money the game pays back, how big the prizes really are, and how many top prizes are still unclaimed.
That is why the game with the best odds is not always the best buy. If the big prizes are already gone, the printed odds no longer tell the whole story. ValueScore™ catches that.
