PA Scratch off odds continue to creep against the player with every new game. You can feel it when you play. Less winners and many more winners equal to the ticket price, so not a winner at all. The one game that I've had success with recently is the $30 Fat Wallet fast play game. I know $30 is steep but the odds of winning are 1 in 2.64 tickets. Placing it at the very top of all games in PA. Three months ago I hit a $1000 prize on this game. I was buying one ticket per week. I've purchased 20 tickets over the last 2 weeks here are my results.
6 $30 Winners
2 $50 Winners
3 $100 Winners
9 losing tickets
That's over an over 50% winning percentage. Obviously a very small sample size but I do think these tickets are a better value than $20 or $30 Scratch offs.
Also the top prize is currently $1,145,340 and the last top prize paid off at $1.4MM. With these tickets you can increase your spend as it gets closer to top prize payoff.
Anyone else having success with the fast play games?

Hi BT3100, I went ahead and looked at this game on the PA Lotto website since I've yet to really get into Fast Play games (which here in FL top out at $5, so not great price point variety.
You're definitely ahead of the odds winning 50% of games played, since 1/2.64 pegs out at about 38% winners. To me one of the ultimate measures of a game is overall payout %, and then of course how that payout is distributed among prize levels. I've not crunched the #s on that $30 Fat Wallet game but compared to a $30 scratch off here in FL that I'm very familiar (Fastest Road to $1M) with the fat wallet seems to slim odds at higher than $50 value.
Of course the progressive element of the Fat Wallet does seem to enhance the top end potential somewhat, seeing that it appears it can grow into 7 figures.
Oh, BTW, just a coincidence but there was a $2 scratch off here in FL recently that went by the same name - Fat Wallet...I always tanked on it, so much so that I ended up calling it "Flat Wallet", lol.
Either way best of luck and would be great to hear how things turn out with more Fast Play games there in PA!!
