The year before last in November my daughter won the "Lucky Tree" - 50 $1 scratchies at her school fair.
Everytime we won we would reinvest that amount of $1 scratchies. We strung this out till May.
I reckon we went thru at least another 150 tickets, won about AUD$300-$400 but the largest amount we won was only $4.
Something tells me the game is rigged.

All for $1 at the school fair Lucky Dip.

It's not that the games is rigged,
just that the chances of you winning anything substantial are very small.

I once wasted a lunch-hour on scratchcards, just so I could chat to the girl behind the counter. Utterly pointless, but I think I only lost my initial £1 stake.

On the rare occasion that I do invest in a scratchcard
I always pick the one with the lowest jackpot, so one with a max prize of £6000 or something as opposed to the £100,000 national lottery one. The logic being that there ‘should’ be a larger pool of smaller prizes instead of just one or two cards in the whole country with a hundred grand on them and far fewer smaller prizes. My logic has in the past been known to be flawed however so I await criticism and correction shortly.

How is your daughter's gambling habit going?
I hope you taught her that she is obviously due a big pay off soon which will be the game changer.

Yeah good.
She's picking up lots of good tips at GA.
