    How much would you reckon you spend on them each week?

    No. Just more scratchcards.

    No. Just more scratchcards.

    You still won them though so technically your answer is " Yes but mostly more scratchcards".

    Hate the way they are so in your face in shops. Plasma screens behind the till and the scratch card holders are always larger units hanging in and around the till.

    You can't advertise drink or smokes, but you can't miss gambling marketing.

    Well done op. I won 1000 a couple of years ago and bought a nice tele out of it. I don't usually buy them but an old woman in front of me bought about 10 and I just decided to buy one

    Every year for my birthday I usually get a couple of scratch-cards in cards from relatives.

    My play every year is to Scratch n' Vest where I scratch all the cards and invest (seein where the name comes from now, clever you, don't ever forget you are clever!) it all back into more scratch cards.

    Got up to like 40 euro in a couple of iterations but I lost it all in a hail of scratch card filings!

    Same here won €25 and that is the most i ever won.

    The most money I've ever won was €4, I was still delighted with the sheer excitement of it all. Other than that I've only won more scratchcards which have ended up getting me nowt.

    a number of years ago I was getting some groceries, those times I usually bought 1 or 2 scratch cards a week

    a lady behind me just had milk and a paper, out of courtesty I let her go ahead of me, she also bought a s card

    as I was paying my bill she came dancing back into the shop, she had won 5000, (it's so long ago I can't remember whether it was punts or yoyos)

    Is this how the internet ends?


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 14,382 ✭✭✭✭Potential-Monke


    Won €25 in one of those €1 all cash's, so i bought 25 more and won nothing. Not even a free one... :(


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 4,122 ✭✭✭BeerWolf


    All I ever win are pleasant smells... Never, EVER, any cash.

    Actually, coming to think of it...

    Wait a minute - I've been getting scratch and sniff cards this whole time!?

    I seem to win in train station's.. In Connolly I bought a €1 Easy Cash Card and won €20 straight away also I bought 2 €1 all cash and a STT told me I was wasting my money only for me to come back down the stairs with €4 on my ticket and he was shocked, He told me to buy more which is what I was going to do, So I bought 4 more €1 cards and scratched them infront of the STT and surley enough I won €2 on 2 of the cards.

    So €20 being my highest but on a frequent streak of €2's and FREE's!

    the other half won two grand on one two months ago.

    Me? I wouldnt win a bleedin argument.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 1,189 ✭✭✭hawkwind23


    i used to win regular on the old punt all cash :)

    since the euro i havent won a 50 or 25 , used to be once a month with the old card.
    i think the odds have changed dramatically over the years , from memory, it was 1 in 3.5 and now its 1 in 6. (estimates)

    my neighbor won on the UK scratchcard , £100,000 sterling , very very nice !
    although id stopped playing them for years his win has me buying the very odd one again
