Scratchcards
 

Do you get scratchcards in the US offering huge sums of cash if you match symbols or numbers?

Does the lack of a response mean no?

Like this?

Yeah we have them. But why bother?

already scratched one today...(in germany)

scratch-off

lottery tix

we got too many

never won any high sum of cash

Shit I wish I could rep you again for this. They need an auto-reply button that just puts this every time he posts.

lol! I just saw that and I repped him. same post in two different threads=win

sometimes ya think things and the thoughts just pop out

I like the kind you can sniff; scratchcards that is, not thoughts.

yeah, we have those

i won $100 off one once. coo'.

scratchies. yes

Idiot tax.

The reason I ask is because people can get addicted to them, and I think it's slowly happening to my father. He's had a good run, mind. Over the past week he's won a total of £52 off numerous scratchcards. The scratchcard he favours the most is the one where you could win £40,000 a year for the rest of your life. The scratchcard costs £5 though.

but five pounds can buy you so much more fun..

I think the last time I bought a scratchie was over 6 months ago. Rarely I do, with spare change or something, if I happen to be near a lotto office. They really aren't that much fun.

That shit is no joke here. People drive from other states to get lottery tickets. There is a ton of hype advertising these giant pots people can win, it's on the news, in the papers.I hate when the person in front of me is getting lottery tickets. It takes forever. They decide to pick 10 different ones and scratch them on the counter, then get more tickets with whatever they might of won. It's like being in a casino. It's all a scam anyway. They contribute money to education in this state, but when they first started giving this money they cut that same amount of funds from what the state was already giving the educational system. So it really is just a way for the government to pocket some extra cash.

We have Scratch off vending machines now in the grocery stores.
I like the Mcdonald's monopoly scratch off. There are much better odds at winning something.

I have never bought one of these things. i see 'em everywhere....but still nothing

the post office where i worked sold those and i would have to pay the money to people who won something. the highest amount i ever paid to anyone was 25 euros, and my coworkers said they rarely saw anything higher.

A lady won $4000 on a scratch off at the jiffy store this morning. Maybe I should have got one. hmmmm
