Has anyone ever won more then €5 on a scratch card

I don't buy them myself but I always see people buying them in the shops and I never hear of anyone winning big on them except for winning streak of piss.

They have to be the biggest scam ever.

RichieC · 15-04-2011 07:38PM

never won more than 2 :mad:

phasers · 15-04-2011 07:40PM

i won €25 a few weeks ago

jimthemental · 15-04-2011 07:44PM

Won 20 about ten years ago, twas in pounds though so it's probably about a grand when you take the economy and euro into account.

Had a friend who won €50 lucky bastard

mikemac · 15-04-2011 07:45PM

€50

Sent in a few 3 stars to Winning Steak, never picked
But I didn't sign the card Patsy or Johnny from the farm and I don't live rural Cork

from working in a shop I can tell it is extremely rare for people to win more than €2. The most I have ever seen was €50 on a €1 all cash.

On average I would say people win more on the lotto. I had a guy last year who plays that game 54321 and he won €500 using the same numbers 3 times last year :eek:

Nope, I don't buy them often but tend to always break even or make a little when I do.

When I was young my old next door neighbour, who my mother forced me to go in and visit, regularly sent me up to the shops to buy around £30 worth of scratch cards and never remember her winning anything much either.

Ah the good old days when shop keepers would sell an 8 year old scratch cards (and snuff for that matter!) without batting an eyelid.

My mother won 500 Euro two weeks ago. It was a work syndicate scratch-card though.

Havermeyer · 15-04-2011 07:50PM

I won a couple of €25s and one €50, back in the days of the celtic tiger.

It's been a long time since I've won more than €4 though - what with the recession, and all.

A ex-colleague of mine won €1,000. Wouldn't have believed it but I was there at the time. In a tiny shop somewhere East of Athlone a couple of years back before the motorway opened. Auld biddy behind the counter nearly had a heart attack when he asked to cash it!

Bonavox · 15-04-2011 07:54PM

I won €30 once.

Poor Craythur · 15-04-2011 07:56PM

A woman I know (by name, not just a friend of a friend) won something like 200 grand on a scratch card someone gave her when she was in hospital last year. :eek:

dilallio · 15-04-2011 07:59PM

The most I won was 2euro.

My friend won 20,000 last year .

Ban Ki Moon · 15-04-2011 08:19PM

Bought 100's of lottery scratch cards over the years and the most I have ever won is £25 (about €22)

sydthebeat · 15-04-2011 08:26PM

An immediate family member won 1000 pound about 20 years ago

PCPhoto · 15-04-2011 08:31PM

won 400 and 200 in a few weeks (several years ago)

most I have won in the last few months has been €25 ..... not worth doing anymore I think.

seanybiker · 15-04-2011 08:32PM

If you get the 3 stars and get on the show, we'll make banners and show up

I won €5000 about six years ago...won nothing since though!

themadchef · 15-04-2011 09:50PM

Why do these scratch card threads always start with " I dont buy them myself but..."????

Yeah right, ya great big gambler ya

.

Scratch cards are an idiot tax. Rare few win decent money on them and people buy them without even thinking they are gambling.

kfallon · 15-04-2011 09:56PM

Scratch cards are for amateurs, gambling on the nags is where it's at

Hawk Wing 2 · 15-04-2011 09:58PM
