Scratch-Off - Home or at the store
Do you scratch at home or at the store?

I always check all my tickets at home. One guy threw away a million dollar scratcher, and someone else fished it out of a trash can and cashed it. The poor guy took him to court and lost, then died. That will never hapen to me, I refuse to go blind and crazy over something like that. For me, scratchers can sometime be hard to understand, so I'll want to check them several times over bfore discarding them!!!

I can just imagine the feeling of seeing that amount slowly materializing underneath the latex coating! At first you don't believe it then, wow! When I finally won $100 I was dancing around in the store. I can't imagine the feeling of $10k or even $1k. Have you ever won the smaller amounts say $500 or $1000 since then?

Sweet congrats indeed, gypsy!
My hubby is the only one who buys them and he always scratches them there at the store. I wish he would come home to do them though, because we wind up spending hours there sometimes because he'll keep getting small wins and is trying to go for the big win. Haven't hit any big ones yet though. -"I can resist everything but temptation"- Oscar Wilde -"I believe in dragons, fairies, good men and other mythical creatures!" - Anon

Whenever I buy a scratch off ticket,I scratch it at the store or in my car.My wife usualy brings me few when she comes home from the grocery store.When I won the $21,000 a few years ago,I had just put some free air in my tires at convience store/gas station and thought I should at least spend some money since the air was free.I bought a $2 scrath off ticket and lo & behold...I won!

I usually scratch them off at home. Don't laugh now but I have my own little routine I do and it goes like this. On the way home from my part-time job, (I work 10 til 2pm) I stop by the store or stop by the local lottery headquarters here in town (I get a kick out of seeing the big winners come in) anyway I buy my tickets and come home and get my glass of iced tea and my scrapers, turn on the TV and sit back and scratch, scratch, scratch........there's something about having to have the glass of tea while scratching....lol
Now if I do slip up and scratch one at the store, then I'm hooked and have to scratch another and another so I try to just walk on out. Also I tend to buy more that way especially if I don't win but hey that's because I didn't have the "positive attitude" about winning that day.
