Scratch Off Results. Posting Every Time I Buy A Scratch Off Ticket

[tread93]

Hey guys,

I'm gonna do something fun here and create this log to show my scratch off results over time.

Now I buy them here & there trying to get some W's but im not buying them every day. Usually I take loose change of mine and use them to buy $1 scratch offs.

Today I got a commission so I bought two $5 Scratch Off games.

First game: 5/15/2025
Details: 2 $5 scratch tickets
Results: $0 made

Currently down $10 (will start posting pics of wins)

I will keep updating everytime i get one and we can start to compile stats. I'll be trying to mix them up and not buy just $1 but 5 10 20 eventually and you know what I'm going to win some big $$$!


If you also get some scratch offs and want to share your wins please contribute!

Then good luck though I would not expect too much. I am interested in this thread as we can use this to study the odds of scratch off tickets. It would be helpful if you stuck to a consistent ticket for a period of time like $5 ticket every day or once a week over a course of a month then we can see if there is any profit made from that before we can move on to a different ticket. Basically we need a good sample size in order to make conclusions.

Do not get yourself too lost on this though. Just have fun and do not get too depressed if you do not win.

Great initiative to share your experience! Documenting results is an excellent idea for analysing patterns over time. My advice: **Set a fixed monthly budget** for tickets (such as 1-2% of your income), and commit to it even if you earn. Remember that scratching tickets are designed to flood players in the continuous buying loop, and a big win is very rare (less than 1% according to statistics). But as long as you treat it as entertainment, not an investment, you will enjoy the experience without significant financial risk. We are waiting for your updates!!!

This is cool. I love scratch cards. So is my wife. Every time we go to the mall, we don't forget to buy a scratch card just to test our luck. 2 pieces each and sometimes we try one more time if we lose, and then that's it. Win or lose. 

Anyway, I think it will be much better if you can upload the photos of the cards that you scratch. Since you are going to buy just a couple or maybe fewer than 5, then I think there's no hassle in that.
Although I don't know if that will be allowed or if it's legal to upload pictures of the card. Might as well check that first.

This is not the first marathon here where user promise to share his gambling experience, however, all such topics becomes abandoned in a week or two. No offence OP, but I am sure you will drop the idea of posting results next week. Mostly because you will get lazy to go and to buy a new card, or will accidentally forget to post result here. It is always like that. I havent seen a single person with topics of such kind who would purposefully keep following his promise and routine.

Anyway, I would like to wish you good luck and a lot of it, as winning in scratch cards is super hard, even impossible to win something significant I would say. From my experience, I think I have won once the amount x5 or x10 of scratch cards price, and the rest cards were the loss ones.

In my country we have a scratch game too which is called as "scratch it" which the same with other country and every time there's a lotto outlet here near me or I guess pass by I bought at least 2$ because the price of it is just 0.36$ and one time me and my friends have a bet like in what ifs we tried and we won for with 1$ and x2 because there's a multiplier so those funds we use for our foods. Until now I didn't won again like used too so good luck the same with you OP.

[traderethereum]

Good luck to you. I hope you win some big $ later. I am sure that game need luck to win so you should not too aggressive buying the ticket and just use small money to risk.

I don't know many tickets you will buy to win a lot of money but that is interesting. I will watch your thread so we will know how many tickets you should buy.

[Sanitough]

Good luck! But let me be real with you, it kinda feels like you’re just flashing your money down the toilet.
What are the odds, really?

I used to buy tickets too before, but I stopped… never really won anything.
Maybe I’m just not lucky enough for that kind of game.

But hey, don’t get mad, I’m just saying the truth. Still, I wish you all the best, good luck, good luck, and more good luck!

I haven't bought a Scratch Off Ticket in many, many years. But I have played BGaming Scratch games, there are lots of them, and there are other providers too. I haven't had any success winning anything big... it's hard to win, I usually end the game with a minus, or if I'm lucky I finish the game without losses or some small profit.

I wish you the best of luck, you will need it, a lot of it. If you decide to share your play with us, it might be nice to see some pictures... I would love to see what your tickets look like.

This is something that I think every casino should add to their stack if they have not done it already. The reason is that the game is really great as you learn instantly your result and not much time is spent gambling which is good for our health as long exposure to gambling sessions can interfere with our mood and this is scientifically proven nowadays. A lot of people would be interested in playing such game as I see well over 2000 players on crash game which is very popular because the results there are almost instant, gamblers have just to wait and they can cash out at any time.

I remember I used to buy such tickets like the OP a lot some years ago as they were really cheap back then, only 50 cent, now one costs 2.5 dollars and I find it better to deposit 10 dollars to play in IDR rather than buy 4 of such tickets, yet I know the adrenaline when you scratch them and it is one of the best feelings in the world. Good luck on your venture OP.

Great initiative, and hopefully you can go as long as you can,  . Been during scratch off for years as well and I will say that the odds are very slim, just like any other luck base game. But it seems that you are doing this for fun and you are not that spending a lot of money so go and hopefully one day you can hit something at that least will return all the money you spend. Or better yet, maybe some bonus too and you win big and the jackpot prize. But for sure you know that this is again base on luck so you might not be expecting something unless the stars above align on you and you win.

Good luck to you. I hope you win some big $ later. I am sure that game need luck to win so you should not too aggressive buying the ticket and just use small money to risk.

I don't know many tickets you will buy to win a lot of money but that is interesting. I will watch your thread so we will know how many tickets you should buy.

It's hard to win on all these scratch tickets no matter how many that you are willing to buy. I could remember those days when scratch tickets was more of fun, I was with a good amount of money and I bought more than twenty tickets but at the end my hope was lost because none of them brought me any profits.

Ever since then, I have always stayed away from scratch tickets because your chance of winning is very slim. I wish OP good luck on his choice of gambling.

Nice initiative @OP.

I'm not really familiar with the scratch off lotteries, does you only need to scratch all of them and see if you're lucky or not, or there's something like skill where you have to pick before you scratch.

Anyway, I think it will be much better if you can upload the photos of the cards that you scratch. Since you are going to buy just a couple or maybe fewer than 5, then I think there's no hassle in that.
Although I don't know if that will be allowed or if it's legal to upload pictures of the card. Might as well check that first.

Yep, that's a good thing, documented version is always better.

Maybe it could help people to learn the pattern or something like that.

Scratch games are 100% based on luck so if you're up for the marathon you need to prepare your mind for it because you will get a lot of discouragements along the way if you don't win. It is important to have the mindset of doing it for fun and that is why you must always use amount that you can afford to loose. This is not like sports bet where you get to analyze to increase your chances of winning so do not have any high expectations to win anytime soon, it might take a day, few weeks or years, you must have patience. I wish the OP luck and looking forward to his updating us as promised but let him not put himself under any pressure, he can stop at anytime he wishes to.

It would also be nice if OP posts images of the ones he lost too to be more authentic and not just some random claims of loses without substantial evidence. You can keep us more involved by posting every single ticket you buy and update the OP with the information in a kind of tabular form, example below.

S/N	Amount wagered	Amount won	Net profit/Loss
1	$10	$0	$10

The red color shows you lost and when you win you subtract from it the sum already in red, then if you are in net gain, you use the green color for it, else you retain the red color. If you loose again, you only need to follow the procedure and add the new loss to the existing one and retain the red color

Your posting the image of your card bumps the thread and users can engage more on it. Maybe we can use your thread as a case study of net profitability potential in scratch cards.

I think we have also scratch card game in our country its called PCSO lotto. They are selling scratch cards with different variety of games. I also play and buy sometimes but never been so lucky to hit a good return mostly I only get is couple of peso or small $ equivalents or same amount for buying the tickets.

[adultcrypto]

Scratch card games is no longer popular in my country due to online casinos that have dominated the gambling business. There was a time it was a trend but I was too young then and not up to gambling age but I knew about it and even had some family members that participated in it. Because I have not tried it before, I will be curious to see the outcome of your experiment and also know if it is worth giving a try. Although, I know that such games are always very difficult to win just like lotteries.

Yes, it would be better that there would be some screenshots on making this to be that legit and not something to be verbal. We arent saying that these purchases arent real but it would be that somewhat interesting if we do see some screenshots about the card being scratched and it shows about losing up real money or winning up too. It will be something a thread that would be followed up and might other people be putting up their scratch cards as well. We do know that odds on winning up with these cards are slim, but since we are talking about being lucky then we would definitely be might be able to hit up for sometime and its best that you should be that only spending into the amount on which you can afford to lose as always.

Maybe we can see the cards that exist indeed look funny because in it many people assume that they can produce luck, of course, I think they are only high hallucinating to win a lot, even though there is, maybe thinking in a This day you can get luck, the fact is that rubbing tickets are often used as entertainment, the reason is that once buying should not spend a few dollars, it's a pleasure for them.

In my experience the same rub ticket certainly has a different value, but in my view the scrub cards are very bad, you are not aware that on average they will spend their 50% revenue specifically for buying tickets The hope is a big win, for me it's better to gamble directly with a capital of $ 10 than I have to spend $ 10 every day for a paper.

[coin-investor]

I will keep updating everytime i get one and we can start to compile stats. I'll be trying to mix them up and not buy just $1 but 5 10 20 eventually and you know what I'm going to win some big $$$!

Have you been doing this for a long time? This is a very addictive form of lottery. I have a friend who puts half of his salary on scratch tickets hoping to hit a jackpot he sometimes break even when he hits three similar objects, but he eventually stopped because he cannot keep up there are more losses than winning and break evens.
I hope you can keep it to a minimal and of course wish you luck to hit the jackpot.
