Nothing, because they’re a total waste of money.

£500, just before the start of the summer holidays this year. It’s all gone. We had a nice summer!

EveryFlightBeginsWithAFall · 04/09/2021 18:27

Think it was around £150 a very long time ago!

I got incredibly lucky one day

I really wanted a £2 scratch card. It was calling for me. I only had £1. So I I bought the £1 one and won £2! Fab I thought. I’ll buy that £2 one I wanted then

Got £40!

Most I’ve won on a scratch card but I was chuffed to bits with that

120 once usually no more than 20 though and often less although not actually mine DP's

I've hardly ever done them - only when I've received one in a birthday card - and the most I have ever won is ... another scratch card.

Duchess379 · 04/09/2021 18:31

£50

You will never win a big amount just like the lottery its a complete waste of money.
Yes maybe people have won the lottery but they have to let someone occasionally win or else nobody would do it.

There's a site somewhere that tells you which jackpots have been won already. But they keep selling them for the smaller amounts. I dont buy them, they make no sense to me.

This is the way of thinking camalot counts on.

My school friend’s granny won £50k on a scratch card not long after they were launched in the 90s….cue every I knew including me buying loads and loads of scratch cards and winning…nowt…😁

Farevalah · 04/09/2021 18:52

5k but that was years ago.
The most I've won since has been £100.

I spend too much on them 😳

Stillgoings · 04/09/2021 18:53

£40 when they first came out. The woman in the shop was really excited. Nothing more than £2 since but I hardly ever get them..

zigzag56445 · 04/09/2021 18:53

€500 once. A long time ago. I don't buy them usually but you used to win one as a prize on the main lotto in Ireland so that's where it came from. Nice bonus!

WhatisanODP · 04/09/2021 18:55

£100

Twice in a week 😂

Then nothing.

Undisclosedlocation · 04/09/2021 18:55

Zero.

BashfulClam · 04/09/2021 19:00

£75

GinIronic · 04/09/2021 19:05

£1000 - I scratched off the first box and I had won £100. The next box also £100 and so on until I had revealed the £1000 total. I bought a new laptop. Living the dream!

BettyOBarley · 04/09/2021 19:07

DH seems to get quite lucky with them .. he'll get a £2 one when he goes to fill up the car and has won £100 quite a few times and often £10-20.
Think about £4 is most I've won!

nc5698 · 04/09/2021 19:09

£20. I was so happy!

MonicaGellerBing · 04/09/2021 19:10

A man who I went to school with as teenagers won a million on a scratch card a few years ago
