    I don't go to the store with the purpose of buying a scratcher, but I use it to fill out a $10 or $20 bill, e.g., if the cost of my purchase is $8.71, I'll buy one scratcher, and just get the pocket change in return. Hit one for $350, and one for $300 in my life, and I'm positive that I haven't bought $650 total, so I guess I'm ahead.

    Just buy $20 worth of $1 tickets. You HAVE to hit atleast 1. Worse case you lose $20 but I feel as though its +ev. Dont ask me why. I just enjoy them.

    I hate that stuff that gets all over the place after you scratch the ticket. (don't play much, sports is my drug of choice)

    i buy 'em in moderation sometimes.. but moderation has been known to go out the window.. will lose most of the time.. but i have hit $150 -$500 many, many times.. not enough to cover the money lost though.. lol

    I hit a $5 ticket for 200,000 about 7 or 8 years ago. After taxes I took home 136,000. I guess I'm now about even.

    I don't buy them too often, most I've won was $100 on a $5 scratcher. Just last week some guy here in town won $1 million on a $20 scratcher, lucky SOB.
