  During your visit to the store, how many scratch tickets do you typically buy?

  Everyone probably varies their buying pattern from time to time, and people play in different games and ticket denominations, but in general, what kind of buyer are you?

  I'm #3 mostly.

  I play regularly but due to limited budget, I usually only buy 1 at a time but occasionally I buy more.

  None, they suck in the UK. Wouldn't mind buying one of those 10 Pound cards with the top prize of 4 million maybe. But I would rather buy 5 Euromillions.

  £2.50 and a dream!

  I should have clarified, this poll is intended for people that play scratch tickets. Didn't want any strictly draw/lotto players coming over and saying how they never play scratch tickets, so I didn't put a category for that. But if you say they suck, you must have played at least 1 at some point in order to form an opinion of them, so you could select 1 as your answer.

  Incidentally, I'd be curious to see scratch tickets from other countries like UK, just to see what they look like compared to ours in the US.

  I voted 4 - 10. It depends how much money I have on me..of course the ATM is
  so nicely located RIGHT BESIDE the IVM but I don't like to do that because if I
  don't win off the first, I don't like playing the next. I do like to buy 1 each of the
  $20's and usually that's 4 in the machine if they are all stocked. I won't touch
  any if they 'doubled up' which more and more places are doing. (same ticket in
  different slots...STUPID)
  If I'm not feeling the $20's I'll go for the $10's or $5's.
  
  I could buy up to 8 of the $5's because usually the machine is stocked with 4/$5's.
  The counter is a WHOLE 'nother story....ticket wonderland.
  
  I like getting 5 at a time $2's and 10 at a time $1's when selection is crappy.
  Othewise I'll put in $60 or $80 and punch selections til it's used up...doesn't go
  far with $20's though but I can usually snag a $100 at my fav place, turn that in
  and play some lower denominations.
