Bought my first Lotto Scratch card in 6 years tonight #417

in #lotto7 years ago

Silver is down, crypto's are still recovering and my job pay increases dont keep up with inflation. What can i do? Scratch Cards. Im going to be taking the healthy habit of buying lotto scratch cards. I have bought hundreds of these things when i younger never winning any more than about £40 on 1 card which is very small. This is the first one i have bought i around 6-7 years and im feeling lucky. I asked the girl at the till which one was newest and this is the one she gave me. Let's hope we find some hidden teasure and get some free silver money.

I dont believe in luck but i always use a 50p to scratch the card off and i rub the queens nose as well. I dont believe but its free to hedge me bets so why not, haha

I never looked at it until i got home and i see its a game one were there's work involved instead of the normal one were you see instantly if you won are not. This displeases me

Here are the rules, pretty standard. Also in the UK and most of the EU i think, we do not pay tax on winning's from the lotto are any gambling for that matter.

Damn ALL!! Useless piece of shit card. They say the money goes to charity but were's mine? I was needing that money to get some oz's. I knew this was a bad idea from the start. That money should be used to buy ramen noodles for my family. I thought i could get my noodles and some silver by winning. My stackitis get me being crazy, what have i done? Im a fool to have thrown away my families noodle money. The wife had just let me start keeping my ATM in my wallet again last weekend and ive gone and blown it.


Me pissing away more money

Another scratch card, a more expensive one :D

I enjoy a flutter, i like to put £5 on online arcades for a quick fix, won £50 today for a fiver, only bet 2 x fivers a week but i would never buy a lottery ticket there is just nothing to win, if you won your £3 back that would be considered a "win" and you have a 1 in 3.77 chance of getting your money back! Ahmm no thanks. And Camelot are owned by Canadian teachers pension fund and its basically to pay retired teachers in Ontario.

I used to do alot of matched betting and won big sometimes on casino doing offers. My biggest win was £1200ish on slots machines. Deal are no deal :)

found a penny in the street today its yours buddy if you want it might be better than the 50p for scratchin \o/

I might start to use Ladonna the 5oz libertad. She keep stcratch off the whole card in a few swipes. :)

The penny luck only works for the person who found it are so i am to believe, haha. The luck is yours my friend,

I have never won a penny in Lotto scratch cards. I gave up a few years ago after I realised that negative record...

I think 99% of people are down over all but it's abit of fun. I might even buy another one next weekend :)

Thanks for checking out my post.

Checked it, loved it, left a comment over on your post :)

Hahaa I thought about doing this because the post payout should at least pay for the card so you can't lose! 👍👍

What about a group lotto buy? We could get @silvergoldcomps to do a video if he has time and split the winning into steem. Im always thinking up stupid shit to do as a group, but that would be hella fun.

Shit, i need to buy the Bitclave for the group buy so i can start collecting funds. You getting in on the steem round UK buy? I think i a year are so, all my posts might consist of group buy's. lmao. I love it :)

Well at least you can have some upvotes to offset some of the losses. I pick up a card every once a whole after a shitty day. Largest win so far is $100. Is there much of a sctratchoff community on steemit?

No idea. Maybe a crazy 20-30 £1 scratch card post would help me find out. LOL

Where I am the cheaper tickets have worse odds. Is it the same in the UK?

The odds on most lotto cards are 3.75ish to 1 to win. The prizes go up with more expensive tickets. The min win on a £1 card is £1 and the min win on a £10 card is £10. I might go for a £5 next week :)
