QUIZ: Is Your Lottery Personality A Scratch Card Player, Or A Lotto Player?
Do you prefer the instant appeal of scratchies like the couple above... or are you happy to wait it out for the lottery to draw?
You'll be surprised to know the game you prefer often reveals your personality.
Answer these 5 quick questions to find out about your lottery personality:
Gem Osceola, 50, claimed a $2 million top prize in the new Florida 50X The Cash scratch-off game at Florida Lottery in May 2018. It's believed to one of the highest scratch-off prizes ever won.
If your answers were mainly YES, then you prefer the immediacy of Scratcher results... the quick results. You might be a Type A personality - a fast moving person who wants answers fast.
Games like Scratch cards and the poker machines appeal to you because of their instant rewards.
If you answered mainly NO, then you have more patience to wait for your lottery win. You may also be the kind of person who is not often late, helpful and patient.
Neither trait is good or bad, according to the numerous personality tests out there. Just different.
Doesn't matter how you win it - money is money!
And the only difference between the games is the sum of the prize. Many lotteries go into the hundreds of millions, but scratch cards usually only go up to $1,000,000, with the highest at $2M.
Personally, I believe it's best to play the lottery. You get more tickets and opportunities to win for your dollar. But mainly because the jackpot is bigger. Sometimes, bigger IS better!
