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 Israel

Israel taxes lottery and gambling winnings at 35%, withheld by Mifal HaPayis, on prizes above an indexed exemption ceiling (about ILS 33,000-34,000), with a partial exemption band up to roughly double that amount before the full rate applies. Very large winnings can also attract the additional 3-5% surtax on high incomes.
