Scratch Offs

[topbitcoin]

So while we are on the discussion and topic of gambling, I wonder if there has every been a scratch off ticket thread?

I was at the gas station today and I said screw it lets get two $1 scratch of tix because why not.

The first one was a flop, but the second one was a winner! I won one lol Just $1. Whoopty doo lol

So I used that winner ticket to go and buy another ticket, and guess what!? The same thing happened again and I won one lol.

I am going to go back tomorrow and get another one and see what happens and keep you guys posted!


Here is a fun question: What is the most you have ever won off of a scratch off ticket? What brand ticket was it?

Your experience playing lottery gambling is quite interesting..!!! Organizing lottery tickets in several places is always a hot topic and interesting to talk about, because this is a type of gambling that can provide the opportunity to win big prizes with relatively small betting capital.
In your case, even though you only get a relatively small number of prizes, I think this experience can still give you sensation and excitement, so that you might be interested enough to play it again.

And the biggest result I ever achieved in this type of gambling, was only around 5 USD, yes, a little bigger than you, hahaha... And I personally don't play this type of gambling regularly, or even go to the shop to buy lottery tickets on purpose. , but sometimes when I'm on a long journey, when I stop at a shop to just rest and buy a drink, and because coincidentally almost every shop I stop at has lottery tickets available, in the end I decide to try my luck by buying some lottery tickets, which I usually buy are instant lottery tickets. And this was quite an exciting experience, so I want to try it again in the future, just to try my luck...

Ah yes, story of my life. The feeling of being able to buy another ticket using the money I won from another ticket felt like I was winning in life back when I first discovered about scratch tickets lol. It was rather enjoyable though, far from the initial idea I had about it before I tried it out.

I think the most I won was about $20? It was with a Go Banana scratch-it ticket, not sure if it's something local or what but it's your usual scratch-it with a multiplier bonus. Was pretty lucky with the x2 bonus and had matched a $10 result so it was an easy $20.

First, congrats on your strategic scratch-off game wins—you've mastered mini-wins! Scratch-offs are their own world, right? You've felt the suspense and brief exhilaration of winning, even a dollar. The thrill, chance, and hope that this next ticket is the big one are all important.

In response to your question on the biggest scratch-off win, lets talk big, beautiful numbers. Records show people winning millions from tickets costing less than a nice lunch. Scratch-offs make wealth accessible with just a few dollars and a coin to scratch away the silver coating, which is their appeal.

Im getting analytical here, but it becomes interesting. Odds are carefully calculated. These games fuel that hope and keep you coming back. It exploits humans' desire for rapid gratification and easy victory. Scratch-offs are an interesting study of hope, chance, and sometimes the relentless search of luck.

Thanks m8! That was fun to read. I will say that it was definitely fun to win even to break even, but when I went in today to cash in the winning ticket of course I got another random scratch off ticket and lost, I should have stayed with the same flavor of ticket and I probably would have won! haha. I'm curious what those carefully calculated odds are. And I wonder what the best ticket class is to get the highest dollar amount winner, for instance the $1 ticket, $2 ticket, $5 ticket yields upwards of what figure in the top 10% winning tickets on average?  I would be curious to know that information.  I'm not really interested to keep going back for more, but I am considering cashing in some of my change to fund a few more ticket purchases in pursuit of this lucky ticker! I have a good feeling about this that I will eventually find an extremely good prize ticket one day soon

This doesn't sound like gambling. It's more of a game than gambling. We have something similar in my region. In this one, you'll buy a random number. Then the number is revealed this is whe you will know if you won or not. Usually theore numbers you get gmthe higher your chances of winning.

Since money is involed, it's still considered as gambling mate, But you're right, It's just like a game wherein you can enjoy and challenge yourself but then again, It is kinda addictive to play, you won't notice that you have already purchased many tickets because you've enjoy playing it. Been there done that, but I'm glad that I can manage myself and I have limited money from my school allowance because I'm a student back then when I tried Scratch Offs.

It seems that you are getting addicted to scratch offs. That's the main way they manipulate people into thinking that they could win something. You spend 1 USD and get one USD back. To be honest, there's no point discussing scratch off tickets in the Gambling forum, because this isn't considered hardcore gambling. Scratch off tickets are more like the lottery, but it seems to me that the chance of winning the jackpots with such tickets is way lower. Lottery games were called "a tax on the stupid" and scratch off tickets are pretty much the same "tax on stupid" My grandmother was a little bit addicted into buying such tickets years ago. I remember trying to convince that this is a waste of money.

Everyone always expect everyday to be one of the Christmas days full of celebrations for them especially the gambler and the lottery winners but it is just impossible to maintain that posture.
Congratulations OP for your two times scratched winnings, I wish you good luck ahead your next move but you must understand that you would not be so lucky continuesly. Lol

I have not got on a scratch offs before and don't think I would even get to have a purchase just to try such luck.

The last time I used a scratch card was back when I was a child and there was a small shop nearby my home.
They used to sell these scratch cards which we need to scratch and get the reward right away.
Most of them were flops but I had won in few of the scratch cards.
Though the rewards were not much (mostly 1x and twice I had got 2x), it was fun to scratch those cards.

That’s the real fun of scratch cards or any form of gambling that involves jackpot prize for small bet. You are expecting to win big that’s why you keep scratching cards despite the chance of winning it small. You will surely not enjoy it if you think how hard to win on this game rather than beating the odds of winning this game despite the difficulty. It’s like finishing a game on a hard mode. It’s painful but worth it when you finish

I have not got on a scratch offs before and don't think I would even get to have a purchase just to try such luck.

I’m not encouraging you to try but buying few tickets will not gonna hurt you because it’s very cheap.

[Z-tight]

Congratulations on the tickets you won, and sorry for the ones you lost, i have not bought a scratch off ticket before, and i don't see where i can buy such in my location, maybe i would look around and see if i can buy one or two with my spare money sometime. However, do not get addicted to it, but if you are only buying with $1, then i don't think it is much, except you are buying too frequently. Goodluck.

Speaking of the scratch. I just purchased a couple of tickets yesterday when I pass by on a local lottery outlet near our marketplace. I purchased 10 cards worth 20 pesos each for a total of 200php.

Most of the card is useless but I still manage to win some even though it’s still not enough to break even. I decided to just save the scratch cards for remembrance instead of claiming it since I don’t really need the money that I use on this purchased.



See the x3 40 and x3 20, that’s a total 60php win or 1$+.  

If that would be the ratio of  ticket and per win , means there are only 25% of that 100% the chance to win.   but at least like you said that the money you used buying that ticket is your willing to risk amount.

I remember when my uncle is still alive as He is addicted in scratch and lottery ticket , he is summoning me to purchase ticket for Him and he will give me percent if he wins , but yeah it is a BS waiting but i receive nothing from him

It's a long time ago since I play scratch off ticket. Yes, it makes curiosity for people who played, especially if they can't win. They will try more and more again since the price is cheaper. They can try many times until they satisfy or until they win but that depends on their luck.

It's a fun playing that games and really fills our spare time. But people must be careful because this game can makes them addict. They can buy more using some money and expecting to be the winner. Maybe filling the curiosity will be the reason why people play many times.

Any game can make us curious because we don't know if what results we can get which is always true especially in gambling. We can also get curious if we can't win and we think it may be a scam but our suspicion is mostly wrong. It's only normal that that the players will have a lower chance of winning than the owners.

In gambling games like scratch cards, winning may depend on our luck but I think we can increase it by buying more tickets. Still, this is not guaranteed, so I don't really advise this. We think we are financially capable or stable to afford a couple more tickets but we should realize that our costs can still add up and the total of them will still be huge.

Theres a story of different lottery tickets but incase of scratch off seems like never seen a thread created here in the community.

@op, I wouldn’t mind you giving some details how the scratch off games works and a little advice that you shouldn’t make the gas station your new home as that possibly might lead to addiction 😎

If you tried to search a scratch off its card that has a shape that base on the name itself you need to scratch to see the result each pattern have a particular rewards and also most of them has a multiplier. Some people says there's a strategy on it and some people seek a loophole with this game so they can have a higher chance to win. If you check in the different gambler strategy story afaik there's a one story becomes a millionaire because of this game.

I haven't seen a scratch card for many years, here in the country where I live they still exist, but as I place my bets online, the scratch card is a thing of the past... I remember there was a gas station that gave out scratch cards as a gift if you filled up with gas 30 liters of fuel, I got a cheese loaf with a can of Coca Cola... It wasn't worth money but products from the gas station's convenience store.

Yes that is is in case you have never seen one before. I think ultimately this is all luck. Some people have said that when it gets toward the end of the scratch off roll that it odds get better but i've never seen any evidence of this. Ultimately I put about 100 bucks in I won about half of the time and made a bunch of random $1 and $2 tickets, one time I got a $40 ticket that I reinvested and eventually lost the whole thing. Ultimately it was a lot of fun, I felt like a kid opening pokemon packs searching for the charizard, but I will say this that it can be addictive and I had to cut myself off of it lol. The Florida lottery is eye catching too that marketing team of theirs did a good job with the rebranding of the new tickets lol

It could be possible but you will have no way to know this, in a way this is like what happens with blackjack, in which each low card that comes up is one less card that the dealer can use against you, giving you a small edge if enough cards like that have appeared already.

So the more of those tickets appear without any major prize, the greater the chances you could win, but unless you could keep track of the results gotten by every single client that bought them, then you will have no way to accurately calculate your real odds to win a prize.

Many people regularly buy sketch cards of different amounts in the hope of getting a jackpot by scratching the sketch card. Many times it is seen that someone buys a card for one dollar and gets 1000 dollars or more and many times it is seen that after buying a card for 1000 dollars they get nothing, it is completely luck. Buying a card and what rewards can be obtained by swiping that card depends entirely on luck. But your skill or your experience is of no use in purchasing a card because no one knows what is inside that card and the people who made that card also don't know what is inside that card. I used to buy such cards in the beginning and scratch to see what rewards were waiting for me inside but here I failed most of the time because luck didn't help me.
