Privacy Policy

Effective date: September 3, 2026

This Privacy Policy explains how ScratchOdds USA (“we,” “us” or “our”) collects, uses and shares information when you visit scratchoddsusa.com, contact us or interact with advertising and site features.

ScratchOdds USA is an independent informational website. We do not sell lottery tickets or process lottery claims.

Information we may collect

Information you provide

If you use our contact form, we may receive the information you choose to submit, such as your name, email address, message and any details needed to investigate a correction. Please do not send lottery account credentials, payment information, government identifiers or other sensitive information.

Information collected automatically

Our hosting, security, performance, analytics and advertising services may automatically process technical information such as IP address, browser and device type, operating system, referring and viewed pages, approximate location derived from IP, timestamps, cookie identifiers, advertising identifiers and diagnostic or security events.

How we use information

Operate, secure and troubleshoot the website.
Display pages correctly and improve speed and usability.
Understand aggregated traffic and how visitors use the site.
Respond to messages and investigate reported data errors.
Prevent spam, abuse and unauthorized access.
Measure, personalize and deliver advertising where permitted.

Cookies and similar technologies

Cookies are small files stored on your device. We may use essential cookies for security and basic operation, preference cookies to remember choices, analytics cookies to understand usage and advertising cookies to deliver and measure ads. Similar technologies may include local storage, pixels and tags.

For more detail, see our Cookie Policy. Where required, non-essential cookies will be controlled through a consent management platform. You can revisit available choices through the privacy or cookie controls displayed on the site.

Google advertising

We plan to use Google AdSense. Google and its advertising partners may use cookies or similar technologies to serve, personalize and measure ads, limit repeated ads, detect fraud and produce advertising reports. Google may use information from visits to this and other websites in accordance with its policies.

You can learn how Google uses information from sites or apps that use its services and manage personalized advertising through Google Ads Settings. Available choices depend on your region, browser and consent settings.

Consent in the EEA, United Kingdom and Switzerland

For visitors in the European Economic Area, United Kingdom and Switzerland, we intend to use a Google-certified consent management platform where required for Google advertising. The consent interface will identify applicable purposes and providers and allow visitors to consent, refuse or manage choices. Withdrawing consent does not affect processing that occurred before withdrawal.

Service providers and disclosures

We may share or allow access to information with service providers that support hosting, security, caching, analytics, contact forms, consent management and advertising. These providers process information under their own terms or on our behalf. We may also disclose information when reasonably necessary to comply with law, protect rights or safety, investigate abuse, or complete a business transfer.

We do not sell lottery-player profiles or payment data, and the site does not collect payment information for lottery purchases. Some privacy laws define “sale” or “sharing” broadly enough to include certain advertising technology; where applicable, we will provide the required choice mechanism.

Data retention

We retain information only as long as reasonably necessary for the purposes described in this policy, including security, legal, accounting and dispute-resolution needs. Retention periods vary by data type and provider. Contact messages may be kept while we handle the request and for a reasonable recordkeeping period afterward.

Your privacy choices and rights

Depending on where you live, you may have rights to request access, correction or deletion of certain personal information, or to opt out of certain processing such as targeted advertising. We may need to verify a request before acting on it, and legal exceptions may apply.

Use the site's consent or privacy controls when available.
Adjust browser settings to block or delete cookies.
Manage ad personalization in Google Ads Settings.
Submit a privacy request through our contact page.

Children

This site is intended for adults interested in public lottery information. It is not directed to children, and we do not knowingly collect personal information from children. Lottery age requirements vary by jurisdiction.

Security and external links

We use reasonable administrative and technical measures to protect information, but no online system is completely secure. Our pages link to official lotteries and other third-party websites. Their privacy practices are governed by their own policies.

Changes to this policy

We may update this policy as the site, providers or legal requirements change. The effective date at the top will show the latest revision. Material changes may also be highlighted on the site.
