Gael Linn Scratch Cards

Amik

I like to try a few scratch cards a week and have noticed some non National Lottery ones popping up in multicultural shops in Galway (e.g. Polish shops) issued by Gael Linn. Can they be trusted? Anyone win anything on them before or are they new?

Do they look like these yokes?

Some info on www.gael-linn.ie, seems legit.

Our scratchcard promotions have an annual prizefund in excess of €500,000 and are sold through a network of shops and service stations throughout the country. Scratchcards are also sold directly to the public.

a lot of shops that cannot get a licence to sell national lottery products will probably sell these instead,they're perfectly legit but afaik you must redeem any winnings in the store you purchase them in rather than in any store like you can with national lottery products.

That's exactly them, thanks!

Yes I was worried it was a scam of some sort, but seems like a legit charity and a good cause.

Will let you know if these two I have are winners.

check the back of ticket for a brand with the shop name if where they were purchased as you can only cash them in at that shop.
