How to Set the Prize in Scratcher
To change the prize, click on the game and in the right panel scroll to outcome display. Here you can set the discount amount, promo code, and message that users will see.
You can add 2 or more outcomes, increasing the number of winning options, and they will appear proportionally (for example, if there are 2 outcomes, they will each appear with a probability of 50%).
There is no losing option in this game; the user always wins. However, you can add an outcome with a 0% discount, which would effectively be a losing option.
