The Aces Up card is always the highest value card. The yellow flashing line around a card means double points, if the line is flashing blue it is triple points. Squelchies is usually the lowest points.

The scratch cards with gold borders (especially the aces up card) are worth the most, so try to save them until they have a bonus border on them. (You can place all the balls on them ahead of time, but don’t scratch it until the border appears, or it is round 10 lol.) Also, keep an eye on your team lottso cards, and don’t play them until they show a high amount (max is 500). Finally, if it is early in the game and a star ball appears, it’s usually best to play it on a number that is common on most of the cards (unless you’re going for a certain card).

i try to get all non-bonus {lottso & team} cards out of the way before round 6 {some will come up later of course and you will need to decide when to use them}.
i then try to only scratch the others when they are the bonus card. sometimes i have as many as 6 cards left to scratch on round 10 and have “jumped” all the way from the bottom to win, so i don’t worry about being on the bottom for most of the game.
this method doesn’t always work {none do} but i will get a spin about 99% of the time.

An easy way to get a Super Lottso card is to hold off scratching any of the cards on one side of the board, even if you already have a card filled up, until you have all three completed and ready to scratch. The cards can remain unscratched for as many rounds as you need. Scratch all three of them in the round that you complete the third card and the Super Lottso card will drop down for your next round. I usually start this process on round one so that I am able to start filling in a Super Lottso card by round 6.
You do not have to drag the balls onto the cards, you can just click the number on the card that you want the ball placed. Be careful if you have the wild ball, because sometimes it will place the wild instead of the numerical ball. Just to be safe, I usually drag and drop until I use the wild ball and then go back to just clicking on the numbers.

For badges that require a certain type of card, fill those up first.

Besides Aces Up, the Pop Fu can be almost as good as Aces Up. However, Pop Fu cards seem to be pretty rare.
If I’m trying for a high score, and I managed to complete and scratch either 4 or 5 boxes of the Aces Up or Pop Fu card early on, i.e. before round 6. I will hold off from scratching the last remaining one or two boxes and wait to see if that card becomes a flashing x2 or x3 card in the last 5 rounds.

If you have more than one Go Team card, Try to fill them all at once, maybe leave one until you can clear 2 or more cards. If the total is 500 points, you can get that per card. My friend got 1500 points just by clearing 3 go team cards in one round.

I always try to get rid of my bronze and silver bordered cards by the end of round 5 (the ones with 3 and 4 holes) none of them are high value and it frees up your board for a chance at the higher value cards.
I will keep an Aces Up card – unless I get a fire card on top of it – even if it’s full, hoping for the bonus.
As far as team bonus – I was told when I first started playing that everyone tries to get them on rounds 3,5 and 7. However, I haven’t seen that lately. When I fill it, I use it. Sometimes, if I hit it first, others will follow hoping others will do the same. Rarely am I the only one on it.
It takes a LOT of games to rank out in this.
Just a personal observation – I hate the super lottso cards – they take a while to fill and they never seem to be worth what I could be getting if I was playing 3 cards and getting the chance of a bonus. Unless I’m not paying attention, I will never clear one side of a board.
I think I’m at rank 43 – and that was playing nightly in leagues for a while… for hours at a time. (There is a good silver card to have – but for the life of me, I can’t remember which one right now! sorry!)
