The different types of lottery tickets
The lottery is probably the most favorite way of gambling in the world. Most of the lottery players know only about playing the lottery through the lottery draw tickets. Although, it is the most popular way to play the lottery games, there exist other alternatives of playing the lottery games. Below are the different alternatives of playing the lottery.
The Lottery draw ticket
Going by the statement above, the lottery draw ticket is the most popular way of participating in lottery games. Examples of lotteries draw ticket games are the Euromillions lottery and the UK Lotto, just to mention a few. Most of the world lottery tickets fall in this category. The lottery ticket numbers are printed at the point of sale i.e. Lottery terminals, hence cannot be altered afterwards.
Once you purchase the Lottery draw ticket all you have to do is wait for the next draw. Matching all the winning numbers from the lottery draw will entitle you the jackpot prize. If you match only some of the winning numbers, you are still in luck as you are entitled to the tier prizes of the lottery. Players have to keep their lottery tickets safe as being in possession of the winning ticket is the sole way to claim the winning. The lottery draw tickets usually have a fixed validity period.
 Lottery Scratch Tickets
This is the second most popular way of playing the lottery. You play the lottery by scratching off the silvered side of a lottery scratch ticket. The scratch cards lottery tickets are also known as ‘instant win’ tickets as players will know instantly on whether they have won a lottery prize or not. The scratch cards lottery tickets are popular with players seeking to play in lottery games with lower odds of winning.
Lottery Pull tabs
The lottery pull-tabs are generally known as ‘pull tabs’. They are similar to the lottery scratch cards but with lottery pull tabs you pull off a thin film of paper covering the ticket rather than scratching the surface of the lottery ticket. Just like the lottery scratch card lottery ticket, the lottery pull-tabs usually have lower odds of winning the lottery prizes.
