Re: What's the appeal?

[(Anonymous)]

As a gift giver, scratchies are cheap and fun, and personally, I like the idea of giving someone a sort of tangible way of wishing them luck!

As a receiver/purchaser of scratchies (about once or twice a year), it brings me memories of buying them with my grandma and her letting me scratch them with a lucky penny or something. Also, there's a fair (I'm not gonna do the math) chance of either winning another ticket to play again or winning a small prize (I pay $1 to pay, win $3, I made one dollar). Sometimes you'll get lucky and win $25-$150, but that's still a better chance than playing the lottery where you need pick numbers.

So personally, it's a mix of nostalgia, a bit of playing into luck, the rush of a possibility (aka gambling with low stakes), the physical scratching things to reveal other things (you can probably get a pop up/pull out windows book for children for the same effect), and the feeling you get when you win. Additionally, if it's a gift, then you spent no money and may possibly get some for free. It's just nice. All this said, I only spend money on the lottery once or twice a year. Anything else and I feel like I'm actively throwing money into a pit. I don't spend more than $5-10 on lotto tickets.
