There are three major categories of lottery games. These are instant games, draw games and scratch-off games.

Instant Games, also known as “scratch-off” games, do not require any input from the player. Instead, the game is automatically selected by the computer. The numbers are randomly generated.

Draw Games are games where players have to select a series of numbers. Usually, the odds of winning are much lower than in instant games. However, if you win, you will receive a larger prize.

Scratch-off games are instant games that offer prizes. They range from a few dollars to over $2 million. You can play them any time. In addition, they offer second-chance contests.
