Most won on a scratchcard?

Mr E

Whats the most money you've won on a National Lottery scratch card?

I remember a long time ago it wasn't unusual to win £50 if you were lucky. These days you're lucky to get €4. I haven't heard of anyone winning a decent amount of money on one (€50+), and just want to know if its possible at all.

I buy a scratch card from time to time, and either get nothing, €4 or 3 bloody stars if its winning streak....

I'd love to know if there is are standard odds on winnings, e.g. 1 in 10 is €4, 1 in 100 is €50, 1 in 5000 is €1000 etc....

Most I ever won was €4, which with I bought 2 more scratch cards and won nothing.
Thus is way of the game.

I won 50 quid a long time ago old money ( jeez sounds like me da).

I knew someone, dead now, who when there was a car and cash card, i.e. match 3*cash amount win that, match 3*car makes win a car, who won 5,000 and a subaru on the same card, they only scratched the bottom bit when the lady in the shop told them to.
That was a nice one.

When I 17 which is a long long time ago I won £1000 on a scratch card. Actually to show how long ago it was, I bought a Sega Gamegear with the some of the dosh.

I won £50 a couple of times and I once won a hamper. I remember giving the ticket to my mam for her to claim the prize because in all fairness what would I want with a luxury hamper?? But about 3 days before Christmas the National Lottery sent out a cheque for £50 because they said that some people had been dissapointed that the hamper didn't include a Turkey or a Ham and that the £50 should cover it.

So all in all I'm quite lucky with them although I haven't bought one in yonks. I might buy one at lunchtime and let ou know how I got on.

About this time last year I put €25 worth of petrol in my car and went into the petrol station to pay for it. I asked for a scratch card as an impulse buy, (I didn't intend on buying one).
Went outside and scratched it and I won €30 on it!
Free petrol!!! and I also bought meself a sammich for my lunch with the few left over euros!
That was a good day

Canis Lupus

Blisterman

I won £2 but thats how much the scratchcard cost. Quite a bittersweet win.

Half-Bicycle

£250 over a 2 week period. Buy a card, win a quid or a new one or win a tenner or twenty.

Moment I lost, I stopped buying the damn things.

Now I do the Lotto, c'os IT COULD BE ME :rolleyes:

Some years back a friend won £100, he bought prize bonds with the 100 and last year won 150000 euro with his prize bond

Drag00n79

£25 about five years back.

Flukey

£50 myself. Don't forget though that you can get onto the game show on a Saturday night and win over €500,000. My cousin was on it a few years ago and won £11,000 and a holiday. 5 people get on every week, so it does happen and several other prizes are available through the shows having bought a scratchcard. I've 3 stars sent in this week, so hopefully!!!!

Bottle_of_Smoke

ok flukey you get your bonus....

i never won more than €2 but a girl in work found 2 euro bought a card and won fifty a few weeks ago, thats interesting bout prize bonds i have some for years now always just assumed it was a scam

Flukey

Since posting the above post, I have just scratched a scratch card that I had bought earlier. There were 3 stars on it! That'll be in in time for the draw on Saturday week. I have one in for this week already! I could get lucky!

Bottle_of_Smoke

so where can we buy these wonmderful cards!?

Blisterman

Reading this made me go out and get one. I lost though

Phantastic Fox

I once won a whole 2 punts from a scratch card. I then proceeded to waste it on another one.

krattapopov

i had a spare fiver so i did the lotto quickpick with lotto extra of course and also got a 2 euro scratchie....

didnt win the lotto unfortunately but i won a free ticket which i still have to collect.... will report back with i got on

Of course people win on Prize Bonds. The people who tell you that they have had Prize Bonds for years but never won anything, probably only have a couple of them. A lot of the people who say you never win anything on a scratch card hardly ever buy them. The people who say they never win anything never give themselves a chance to do so.

Of course the majority will win nothing in things, but people do win on scratch cards, the lotto, prize bonds, raffles etc. You can check out the Prize Bonds Website you'll see a list of winners. I have been among them, but then I do have more than just a couple of them. As they say, if you are not in, you can't win. If the Lotto is won tonight, chances are that the winners will have never won it before and probably have often said that they never will.

If you can't think of a Christmas present to buy for someone, then prize bonds aren't a bad choice. You can cash them in and even bonds that are drawn in a draw are entered in all subsequent draws, so you can win more than once on the same bond. You can't say that about almost any other kind of prize draw.
