Have you ever won any big money off Scratchcards

EachSmallChime

I love doing those €1 and €2 euro scratch cards like the All Cash ones.

I've never won anything more then a €5 or €10 euro though.

Have any of you actually won any considerable cash of them?

I usually win another scratch card and then win nothing

I won 25, threw a few scratch cards into my uncles birthday card and he won 50

I once won a free scratchcard, so i got one. Scratched that one to reveal that I'd won ANOTHER free scratchcard.:eek:

This scratchcard won me me nothing.

These threads come up all the time. I belive the Irish national lottery are the hungriest bunch of chancers I've ever encountered. Has there ever been an audit done on the company to prove or disprove their claims of how much money they give away. Nobody ever seems to win on those scratch cards.

I got a few as presents for my 21st. Got €100 in an All Cash and €50 in a Winning Streak. There were a couple of €10s and € 2 too.

€5,000. Bought 10,000 scratchcards.

House always wins, scratch card winnings are crumbs off the table.

Not that someone would necessarily come back to the shop if they won a top prize, but I never saw more than €100 in ten years when I worked in a Lotto agent.

€50 on a €1 scratch card was my biggest win

EachSmallChime

Even a 100 quid would be nice, to be honest.

I never really sink a lot of money in them, usually get 2 or 4 and just keep going till its gone.

Just realised though ive never met anyone who's ever even made 25 of one

I was watching Winning Streak one night and one of the contestants had previously won €10,000 on one. Derek Mooneys reaction? "Jaysus, I never heard of anyone winning that amount on a scratchcard!" Great way of promoting the brand there Mooney.....:p

Thats some supernatural luck right there

I won €100 on a Cluedo scratch card last summer. Never won more than €5 ever before then.

Many years ago a relation of mine narrowly missed out on winning £10,000 on a scratchcard.
I say narrowly because the very next one bought in the shop had the prize in it.

That's embarrassing I multiplied when I was supposed to divide.

I was sure you were going to say it was narrow because he had already scratched two €10,000's and only had one more corner to scratch!

my mother won a load on the scratchcards in the 1980's and one in the early 90's

Instant 3 was the real deal, after that it became a scam.

christmas2012

theres very few slim pickings in between youre nearly better off doing the euromillions at your chances of winning the 100,000

Two things to say.

1. Buying scratch cards and thinking you might make a profit is evidence of a fundamental lack of understanding of odds. Anyone who claims to have made a profit is either a liar our an outlier.

2. I understand that people enjoy that bit where they've bought the ticket and the ticket might actually be worth a few grand and that's why they do it.

€5 euro should be deemed a considerable amount to win these days

That's probably the best statement required to make people see the futility of buying scratch cards.

with big money cards I think ten euro is the max anyone ever wins.

stovelid

500 (punts) twice on all cash.

In the same year as well, believe it or not.

Nope, only ever won another scratch card. I'm rather unlucky though. My grandmother wins something from pretty much every quickpick, scratchcard and raffle going. I have not inherited her good fortune :pac:
