The Winning Ticket (1977)

About this game

You pick a token and roll a dice moving around the board similar to monopoly and as you move around the board you buy lottery tickets and win sweepstakes. You can make trades and sell tickets to other players. There are three lotteries; red, white and blue with tickets to match. If no one wins one lottery the money is moved to the next lottery. The person with the most money after the last lottery is held is the winner

Does it fit your group?

• Group size. Works with 2 to 6.
• Rules load. At 1.8/5 this is a light game — explain it in a few minutes, good for a table that has not played much.
• Age. The publisher suggests 8 and up. That rates the rules rather than the artwork, so judge the box yourself for younger players.
