What's the most money you won on a national lottery scratchcard?

My biggest win was IR£50 back when we had our own currency.Has anyone here won anything substantial -like a thousand euro or more? Really curious because I belive that kind of a win is probably rare.I think they save all the major prizes to give away on the TV game show which is just a glourious ticket sales promotion.

£100 back when this were nowt but fields

RonMexico

I know a girl who won €5000

I only get them when I win the on the lotto, never buy them. Most I ever won was 5e.

Tomebagel

free ticket is all i get:mad:

galwayrush

100 pounds or punts back in the day.
Biggest lottery win was €2000 before last xmas.
edit, i hardly ever buy scratch cards, usually get them as minor lottery prizes.

sam34

€25.

i rarely buy them

PirateShampoo

50 euro not so long ago.

But i only buy them if i won money on the Lotto, then i keep letting the winnings ride.

Another Scratchcard, SCORE!

I know someone who won a small Chinese child. That's what they told us anyway and where in the name of God would one get a small Chinese child out of?

mike65

A miserable 28 quids

Gumbo

got very excited when i went into the centra and the guy said sorry, we cant cash that here you have to go to the central office, and i said for fecks sake it probably only 50e or something and he said no, we can pay out up to 500e!!!!

really thought i won it there for about 20 mins
didnt check the numbers, just got them scanned by the machine.

So as I suspected,no big winners.They obviously promise big cash on the scratch card but in actuality its given out on the TV game show.Another marketing ploy.Thanks to all who posted.

On a scratchcard I've won 1000.

On a lottery ticket, 19000

Milky Moo

Technically I didn't win it but I found one on a desk in the post office with 6e on it...probably someone who buys loads and didn't think 6euro was worth cashing.

It bought me some lunch anyways.

You can't expect a hundred grand on a lot of them. The ratio of winners is available somewhere. I think one in every half million has a hundred grand on it. I'm too lazy to look but there is nothing hidden. The odds of getting a cash prize are clearly visible should you choose to look. No scam here.

Don't buy them myself but have won fifty pounds and fifty euro on ones stuck in birthday cards or when I've got three numbers on Lotto and got a scratch card. Girl I used to work with won five hundred on a card we stuck in her birthday card.

I won a good few times, but the winning prizes were another scratch card which I never won anything on.

entropi

Most i ever won myself on a scratchie was 25e, lotto was 60e+ cant remember exact figure. My dad won £5000 years ago on a scratchie though:)

I know someone who was on winning streak and another who won the lotto itself.

Saibh

My mam won £100 years ago - that is the most that anyone in our family won.

PhysiologyRocks

Two Punt, back in the good old days.

Once I thought I had 1000 Euro but one of the three was a 10000.

Boy was I disappointed.

Lia_lia

€4. But I've never bought one, just gifts.

Think about 25 pounds in our own Irish money

was that the euromillions pic you had up a while back? nice

DonkeyStyle \o/

Probably £2 or something, but I've never bought them regularly... seems like a poxy waste of money.
I think they should ditch all the bigger prizes and just make more cards that win 50 - 100.

Greenmachine

€25 on a scratchcardd and I think €32 on lotto plus for 4 numbers plus the bonus. What a rip.

When I was 4 years old living in Canada, my nan bought me a scratch card, and I won $100. I was delighted with myself, and quickly took a trip to the dollar-store.

My grand-uncle won €20,000 on a scratch card about 8ish years back.

RonMexico

Just won €40 an hour ago.

blanked out some of the personal details or ones that could aid fraud.

€25 is the most I've won - tend to buy them rarely but i'll get €5 or €10 worth of €1 cards when I do, and nearly always get a good chunk of my money back.

pablomakaveli

I won 8 euro on a scratchcard. Then i bought 4 scratchcards with it and won nothing.:(

stovelid

500 punt twice (in the same year).

Nothing since except for a few 25s IIRC.
