I was just wondering, if anybody else shared my long time obsession with scratchies... I know they're pointless, but, I win sometimes and double my $3 gamble. This makes me immensely happy, as $3 profit can be quite a life saver sometimes in my constant need for change, bread money and bus funds. The most I've won is $10. And yet, I still hope to win big. I have in my possession a winning ticket to the worth of $6. I'll be cashing this in - not for the money - but for TWO MOAR $3 scratchies. This has made me dream of winning enough money to pay my long, long, long overdue rent and electricity bill. But of course, in an hour, I'll be back complaining bitterly about my financial (or lack thereof) situation. But, it is always nice to dream. Anybody else partake in such things? |

My nana always buys me scratchies on friday nights for me to try my luck with. I always buy more of them with my winnings. I think I'm getting 6 this week so fingers crossed. I hate it how they always get your hopes up with 2 5000 dolalr squares. Then dash them with a barrage of 2s, 3s and 4s... |

If I'm ever waiting around to meet someone I'll usually buy a few $1 scratchies. I always trade them in for more tickets if they win less than $10. |

Lost on both of them... ;__________; But, it's okay. I had fun hoping and dreaming of debt-free days. ![]() Hehe, my Mum likes to put them in Christmas and birthday cards. I can always be sure a card from her contains a few scratchies. Last time I went to visit her in Wagin, she had about $30 worth of winnings stacked up that she gave me because I needed money....... now that I think of it... she may be the source of my addiction... |

This makes me immensely happy, as $3 profit can be quite a life saver sometimes in my constant need for change, bread money and bus funds. ......... think of the change u woulda had if u didnt buy all those $3 stratchies my idea on gambling, if u dont come off atleast 75% or even, ur better off not doing it, unless its a mega draw, then the 1 in 9312809451829042 chance at 20mil is worth it (or 100% chance if u have the 15 grand to spend on tickets, and the time to do every number combination) |

I usually buy one/two a week for the train into Uni. Gives me something to do. If I win, then I cash it in at the train-station newsagents or save the card when I'm feelin' lucky!... if I lose, then I try again next week.I don't think it's bad having a "little flutter" every now and then. Makes my trip to the store a little more interesting, plus I get to see my favourite newsagent guy who is always really nice to me. ![]() |
