    Scratcher Degeneracy

    I am a lifetime winner at scratchers. As hard as this is to believe... it's true. So the most likely scenario for this to be the case is to have a small sample size. The other is to hit a jackpot (assuming those actually exist). Anyway I found myself down to my last two bucks tonight and I REALLY wanted to hit big on a scratcher. Of course I lost my two bucks on one two dollar scratcher called an "Ace In The Hole"

    What's your biggest scratcher prize? (cost of scratcher?)

    Mine is 100 dollars off a five dollar monopoly scratcher. so unfortunately discontinued

    Lifetime spent about 50-75, won about 130

    The old lady picks one up occasionally, I don't think she's ever hit over $15

    A guy I use to work with one 25k and purchased a new vehicle.

    I’ve hit $500 many times. Usually on $10 cards. Once on a $5. Also on $30. Never bigger than $500 though. I know a guy who hit $1 million on a $20. He had a drug habit. The money is long since gone.

    Always felt scratchers were stupid because they are very low EV (something like 50% return) and you aren't going to hit a monster payout.

    If you're going to throw away $ on the lottery, do it on the lotto.

    Imagine Heeb with $63 million.

    A dealer at Lucky Chances just scratched a million dollar payday! These Filipinos are selling the scratchers out now.

    This sounds like a solid retirement plan. Fuck 401k's and pensions give me scratchers and a lucky nickel.

    It's hilarious that we as a society think everyone can be a dr, a lawyer, an engineer. Some people are just fucking stupid. Why can't we just accept that?
