Obviously by buying different scratchers and winning.

Depending on the ticket and amount your odds are closer to 1/10 - 1/12 for a winning ticket. But that win could just be a free ticket or $1. States laws vary but all stipulate a winning percentage similar to slot machines...the numbers on the back are actually part of a formula that dictate the odds and aren't representative of odds in the way you're thinking.

When you buy scratchers, make sure to tell the cashier you want the winners otherwise they'll just give you the losing tickets.

literally anything, including food

I think you're an idiot if you don't buy at least 1 lottery ticket a month. The implied odds are insane since an insignificant amount of money that you wont notice missing has the potential to completely change your life. On the flip slide, you're also a fucking idiot if you think buying more than that is worth it, or that buying more lottery tickets realistically increases your odds of winning
