How is the PRO USER game score calculated?

The game score is a metric designed to help players compare different lotto games and determine which game offers the best value. It takes into account several factors:

• Prize Availability: The percentage of unclaimed tickets relative to the total number of tickets for a game. Games with a higher percentage of unclaimed prizes score better.
• Top Prize Value: The value of the largest available prize in the game. Games with higher top prizes are more attractive and receive a higher score.
• Return on Investment (ROI): The ratio of unclaimed prize value to the ticket price. This gives an indication of how much value a player can potentially get for their money.
• Ticket Price: The cost of a single ticket. Lower-priced games are penalized less, while higher-priced games may score lower unless offset by other favorable metrics.

Each of these factors is weighted dynamically based on how much they vary across all available games. This ensures that the score reflects the most significant differences between games. The weights are calculated using statistical measures, such as standard deviation and coefficient of variation, to prioritize metrics with higher variability.

Once the weights are determined, they are applied to calculate a final score for each game. The score allows players to easily compare games and identify those that offer the best opportunities for winning.

Remember, while the game score is a useful tool, it does not guarantee a win. Always play responsibly.
