Instant lottery

from Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Another example of an instant lottery: two open tickets from Austria.

The instant lottery is a lottery in which the participant finds out directly whether he has won. So he doesn't have to wait for a result, for example that of a horse race . Odds and - chances are fixed in advance and recognized in the rule. Classic examples of forms of the instant lottery are the scratch-off ticket or the tear-off ticket .

The instant lottery is very successful due to its low unit price (usually a few euros), but the (possible) winnings are nowhere near as high as with the classic lottery. Instant lottery products can usually be found in Germany and Austria wherever traditional state gambling is offered, for example in almost all lottery acceptance points.
