Lottery scratchcards
 

Do you ever get them? How often?

I get them quite a bit.. they're good and you often win a bit of money.. won £20 yesterday!

In my local shop I get my mum to get them for me as they know I'm not 16.. but everywhere else I can get them myself..

I don't do them.
But I'm going to start doing the lottery soon, as I don't intend on working :joker:

btw, why so many threads?

Someone is on a thread frenzy tonight :p I never buy scratchcards,just the normal lotto when it's a big amount of I'm feeling lucky.

Buy them quite alot. Most i've won is £15

Yeah.. thread frenzy :tongue: The forum is so boring that's all.. no-one is posting anything new.. Just trying to liven it up a bit.. get a few discussions going.

I really want to do this now. Like really bad. I want moneeyy!

I give my nan a couple of £1's to get me one or two sometimes when I go Morrisons with her, won £75 once and we split it, I felt rich. :')

nope all i do is the lottery every saturday 1 line of my own 1 as part of a syndicate with friends

The house always wins.

have done them in the past, and we do lotterys sometimes. never won anything though :(

I do them all the time most i have won is a tenner, but my mums won £1000 before.

I find scratch-cards to be exploitative and the bane of people down-on-their-luck. I HATE THAT THEY RIP MONEY OUT OF FOLK FOR THESE.

My reason..........I live in a high unemployment area with multiple deprivation. The queue of people buying scratchcards with the little money they have is saddening in the shops. I realise they're doing it in the unrealistic hope they'll win a substantial amount and so instantly fix their debt mountain/take them out of the hopelessness in which they are living.

What will the scratch-card profits be used for? Probably a 'good cause' like commissioning a new opera in Celebration of the 2012 Olympics.

Reverse 'taxation' in action - the poor paying for the affluents' leisure pursuits.

GRRRRRRRRR - MAD

I get them once in a while, Never won anything though, Maybe i'll be lucky one day and win something.
Lucky Girl in my class at college recently won £50 on one.

Mum Does. Most she has won is £100

Not bought a scratchcard for years but do play the lottery

Never buy them the lady who minded me as a child always gets me a few for my birthday and I always fecking win. Very odd.
