Jamandell (d69) Posted August 7, 2005 Report Share Posted August 7, 2005 I saw loads being sold in a Lotto Kiosk in a Shopping Centre. I'll try and persuade my parents to buy them wen they're out. My dad says it's pointless though. :down: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BethnalGreen Posted August 9, 2005 Report Share Posted August 9, 2005 Has anyone else won yet? I've managed to win £10 by finding a gold medal, but I was too busy trying to match 3 matching figures I missed it and it took me a week to realise I had won something!! Oh well, that will teach me to pay more attention... Still, it's a good job I didn't throw it away... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jamandell (d69) Posted August 10, 2005 Report Share Posted August 10, 2005 HAHA YES! Today my mum gave me 2 that she bought the other day, I scratched 1 and won nothing, but the one she scratched, she won...£4!!! Lol, at least we doubled the amount back that we paid for the scratchcards. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
arwebb Posted August 12, 2005 Report Share Posted August 12, 2005 So that's where my luck's gone. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
interceptor0509 Posted August 13, 2005 Report Share Posted August 13, 2005 Most I've won on them is £16. I think I'm probably still in profit. I threw caution to the wind today and bought 5 but only won £2. There were 10 top prizes of £2,012 I believe at the start. This is a handy page to keep your eye on (on the official National Lottery site) as it tells you how many of the top prizes are still "out there". As Go For Gold is a recent one, it's currently at the bottom of the table, and - as of today - 7 of the 10 prizes are still to be won They usually update the info twice a week http://www.national-lottery.co.uk/player....es.html Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jamandell (d69) Posted August 14, 2005 Report Share Posted August 14, 2005 Hold on, are you saying that only 10 of the scratchcards actually have to £2,012 prize? THAT'S RUBBISH! LOL! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
interceptor0509 Posted August 14, 2005 Report Share Posted August 14, 2005 Yeah - its pretty standard actually for the odds of winning a top scratchcard prize to be about 1 in 1million. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
e1ena Posted August 14, 2005 Report Share Posted August 14, 2005 Yeah - its pretty standard actually for the odds of winning a top scratchcard prize to be about 1 in 1million. It makes you dread to think about the odds of winning the Lotto Jackpot! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rob2012 Posted August 14, 2005 Report Share Posted August 14, 2005 Yeah - its pretty standard actually for the odds of winning a top scratchcard prize to be about 1 in 1million. It makes you dread to think about the odds of winning the Lotto Jackpot! I think that's closer to 14 million to 1. You'd win it once every 400 years or something like that if you play every week.

arwebb Posted August 14, 2005 Report Share Posted August 14, 2005 I think that's for the jackpot on the main Lottery game, isn't it? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Michael Posted August 22, 2005 Report Share Posted August 22, 2005 I bought one a few weeks ago and won my pound back. (A bit of a rip-off that I did'nt get my stake back, but that's the government for you.) After I got my pound back I decided not to play it again because if I win i'm not helping the bid at all. It didn't make any money out of my purchase, so i'm going to find other ways to donate. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'll be haveing the reverse effect on wht I want to acheive. And with a five in one chance of winning, how can I lose? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guardian Posted August 23, 2005 Report Share Posted August 23, 2005 By the way, how long will these scratch cards be around for? The answer may have already been typed here, but I'm a bit lazy to go through this topic trying to find it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
