National Lottery Scratch Cards

trishw78 · 2006-10-24 13:06:23

Not sure if this has been covered before. But has anyone actually ever won €500 + on them. An I don't mean your cousins, neighbours uncles girlfriends neighbours sister. I mean do you actually know personally of someone who has won €1000 or €10,000 on them or is it a fraud. the most I've won was €100. and on a side note…

Think about it.

to win €10,000 they have to sell over 10,000 tickets and thats not taken into account all the couple of euro wins.

They have to make money for charity also.

So I say it must be at least 25,000/1 chance of winning 10 grand

was covered a while ago here, but for the record the most I've ever won is 20 quid. My brother won £100 once.. then my ma took it off him saying that under 18's aren't even allowed to scratch the cards :rolleyes:

Think I posted this on a previous similar topic but I won 500 punts twice so it does happen. (I know it makes me sound like a scratch card addict but there actually wasn't that much outlay )

Good man Connundrum, you tell her!

Personally, I can only remember ever getting one scratch card in my life which I won €10 on

I don't know anyone whos won anything major on one though, nor do I know anyone who gets scratch cards on a regular basis.

I buy them now and again and everytime I do buy I then remember the reason why I don't normally buy them - if that makes sense.

The most I have ever got is €20 and that was years ago. I know nobody who has won more that that.

I always think that those people who manage to get on on the TV show must buy tons of the beggars just to get three stars and then to have their card picked out to get on the show.

Im not sure of that, but have 5 star wars national lottery scratch cards unscratched with £40.000 jackpot that could possibly be won.
but i thought wots the chances of winning that, ill get more money than i would have won from scratching them buy keeping them unscrached for a fue years selling to the mass star was collectables market,
after all who else would be stupid enough not to scratch a £40.000 possible win, let alone 5!!

I JUST WISH ID BOUGHT THE WHOLE SET OF 12!!!!
