Shorter odds are not automatically better value — shorter-odds games pay smaller top prizes. Cost per unit of chance (price × odds) is the cleanest single comparison.

Tax on winnings in Switzerland

Since 2019, winnings from Swiss lotteries and sports betting (Swisslos, Loterie Romande) are tax-free up to CHF 1 million per win. Only the portion above CHF 1 million is taxed as income, and a 35% anticipatory tax is withheld on that excess (credited against the final assessment).
