Scratch Offs

[tread93]

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?

It’s been long I played a scratch off ticket don’t know if the concept are the same but back then, we’ll have to buy some tickets for a little amount of money and then the ticket gives us chance to choose and select a random number to qualify you to winning a gift item from the available items but from my personal observations as a kid then, I quickly realized that, those items were very difficult to claim and at some points, I felt there were some tricks and didn’t think the entire process of the was plain as it was structured to only extort money from innocent gamblers which isn’t right.

@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 😎

Lucky you, it was just local but unfortunately, I haven't had that luck that you have. But from time to time me and my wife if we see some outlets that sell of scratch off tickets, we call it here ScratchIt.

Not bad though, at least you might have found some new games to enjoy, or maybe this is what we call beginner's luck? So just be careful with it, as you might fall for that trap and go back to that gas station very often even if you filled your gas tank already.

Yes ours is the Florida Lotteryand other scratch off names so they have so many differnt kinds of stuff as far as scratch off goes, I want to say at a typical gas station here there are 30 varieties or more!!! Pretty wild stuff lol.

Definitely going to have to agree with both of you, I won't be going back very often to buy more scatch offs because I don't want to become addicted. I think what I will be doing from now on though is that I will save all of my change and use the spare change I find to pay for any more scratch offs! Typically I just go with the $1 ones. But maybe I shhould go for 2 .

When I was a student, I and my friends would usually buy a scratch ticket whenever we go to the mall where these are available. It was a lot of fun. We were students so we don't have much money. We can only chip in to buy a single ticket. We assign slots for each one to scratch. The most that we won was, just like yours, a new ticket. It was quick but fun. Those memories still remain with me until now.

I cannot remember which particular tickets we bought. I'm not anymore buying them today but I can remember there was a lucky 7 ticket, the one with the banana, another with the monkey, and so on. This is a government-run gambling business.

I haven't seen a scratch-off in years, I think it's something that had its moment at least in my country, I haven't gotten them again in the lottery format, but at the time they were even available in McDonald's or any type of promotions.

It became so popular that the online world also existed, I think it was Poker Star that had them in their digital format, and by scratching you got tournament tickets, dollars and the "try again".

I haven't seen a scratch-off in years...

Scratch offs were the form of instant lottery of the pre-internet era. Today you can still find some, but with the variety of instant bets available on cell phones, they have lost their meaning. I remember hearing at the time that due to the immediacy they had a higher risk of leading to addictive behaviors than regular lottery tickets but now the risk has moved to mobile.

Why not try 10 instead of one  maybe your luck is not limited to few tickets ,or maybe you will get more than that so Good Luck mate.

I am f@cked in tickets , never that I won from day 1 this is the reason I stopped buying ticket instead i try lottery ticket and same thing , Never that I won hahaha.

Scratch offs were actually easy and cool luck base gamble. Even till date, several big brands like Coca-Cola still have scratch-and-win promos, which employs the same principles as those of physical casinos that made it a business.  Unfortunately,  I have not been lucky to win scratch offs in the past.

I don't know if such can be implemented in online casinos but I feel we already have so many options that are similar in principle to scratch offs.

I remember trying them a few times in the past, but either I didn't win anything or just the refund, something like that. I think they have gone out of fashion, probably because of the rise of online games and even if you can find them somewhere, I don't think they occupy a very significant market share.

Sometimes luck are like this it happens like magic but when it hit hard on you you might regret using the previously won amount to go get another ticket.

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

Indirectly you are beginning to apply greed which is not good and it kills so quickly why not space for long period of time before buying another ticket or have you reason the implication of what that might cause you? Either you lose both winning or what?

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

I don't think I have win something reasonable before in such thing except for the day I went buying my baby's Diaper and wipe, and there was a kind of scratch off ticket stick on the pack and I have to scratch to know what is in there and I won a key holder and a 10 pieces wipe additional. I wasn't pushed to buy additional items because I know it's very difficult to secure something tangible from those products.

I really hate winning my money back if I buy a lottery ticket. I'd rather be a winner or a loser. If you get your money back, you didn't really win anything. As far as the biggest amount I have won on a ticket, $500 1 time is it. The lottery is so hard to beat.

We have different scratch cards here in our country.
The bananas and Lucky 7's go for 20 pesos which is nearly $0.40. The other scratch cards cost 50 pesos which is $1 per card. My wife loves playing that more expensive card.
The highest we have won is $10 = 500 pesos from the 50 pesos scratch. In the Lucky 7 scratch card, I won 700 pesos which is like $14.
But that was when my wife was still pregnant with my first kid. She believes she is lucky whenever she is pregnant which is why we do that. Recently, we tried again, but we ain't winning anything anymore. I've lost $10 worth of different scratch cards and we won only the minimum amounts.
There was even a time when we were only the ones buying the cards and then suddenly one guy popped out and bought too and he got the $6 winning card. I was supposed to get that if we continued playing.

I will share my wins whenever we get a chance to buy again next time.

Well, I also play scratch it, and my main purpose is to enjoy it because I enjoy playing it, but yeah, I don't expect to win because I know that I'm not in luck with this kind of thing, so I just enjoy myself. But I experienced one time that I won a lot in one scratch. I ended up buying more, but of course I secured some profit, so even if I lose those three tickets, I still go home with money. 

In my country, scratching is also a hobby for most people because, why not? It's cheap, fun to play, and of course, simple, so even children or the elderly are still playing those tickets, and I don't see anything wrong with that; it just has a risk of someone becoming addicted, and someone will waste a lot of money on that, hoping to win, but we all know winning is too little to scratch.

[SamReomo]

I used to buy those scratch tickets but I have never got lucky with those. I have hardly made any money with those tickets, most of those were losses and nothing else. But, it was a fun activity for me and that's why I always used to spend some money on such scratch tickets.

If I remember correctly, the highest I made with a cheap ticket was around $0.8, but the feeling was still good because I thought that at least I have won a ticket. I don't spend any money on scratch tickets anymore because I don't enjoy such type of luck testing anymore.

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$+.   

[Distinctin]

How much are we talking here? For a $1 bet for a ticket, I'm expecting it coudl be $200 or more?

This kind of game is for fun only, the chance of winning is very slim, just like a lottery ticket, so I'd say you were lucky that time but eventually the law of average will sink if you keep buying scratch off tickets. Have fun anyway, I'm wishing you more success but the other side of me is getting real, I know you'll eventually loss, unless you hit a jackpot, a significant amount that would change your life.

Me personally, I've won like $200 equivalent in our money, but did only twice. Never tried it again as I believe lightning does not strike on the same place twice.

[livingfree]

I did this with my friend long time ago and it was just like we're passerbys and to think that we might multiply our money as our minds were still too young during that time, we're fooled by our own thoughts.

Just as you, we didn't win that much and it's always like a break even and most likely, we get nothing from scratch cards that we've got. Anyway, I hope that luck is within you and you'd win $20 or more with those scratches that you'll purchase.

Don't expect a lot with it and I hope that you'll be able to control yourself with it because you might get coming back when your emotions are too high with already.

I like playing this back in the day whenever I bumped into a station where it is being sold. But the only problem is I have not been able to get lucky scratching with a good prize in it. Not even an ROI. Maybe I should try buying more, because most of the time I just buy one and scratch it there while waiting. I don't do it fast, I want it to be more exciting so I take my time and slowly peel away those silver thing that is covering the images.
It is a fun game but let us still gamble responsibly as this can also be an addictive habit especially if we are to lose a lot of money.

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

maybe people are not always lucky when playing it, or perhaps most don't know about it. people are more focused on football, NBA, boxing and wrestling, tennis and other but don Focus much on it. maybe from this thread you will understand the reason behind that.

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.

you are pretty lucky to have won the second time I guest it was your day. for me I have seen this scratch card ticket games on YouTube and other places but never knew much about it, but I guest I will try to study and know more about it. but what I don't really know if this game is only done physically or can be done online and offline?
