I bought a national lotto scratchcard this morning, I scratched it at lunchtime and what do you know I won £200!

I've just taken it back to the supermarket to claim my prize I walked up to the counter gave the woman my winning card and she said “no that's not right, we can't do that”. I said “oh shit have i read the card wrong?” She said “yeah we can't give out winnings that big over the counter you will have to contact lotto to claim your prize”. I said “really? I thought you would be able to give me £200 over the counter?”

She looked at me like I was the worlds biggest retard and said “you've won £2000 not £200 see?” And she showed me the card like a dog being shown a card trick. “I can't give you £2000 over the counter you see?”. I just grabbed the card back and sneaked out feeling a mixture of happiness and humiliation.

Good for you CN!

Bwahaha! Two grand not two hundred. That's awesome, OP.

Nice!

Now you can get all the porn that you've got on VHS dubbed over to DVD.

Strange and mysterious ways indeed!

I buy maybe 2 or 3 scratch cards a month and I think the most I've ever won on one was £50 i think and that was years ago.

My parents had a big win on the football pools years and years ago but apart from that we aren't exactly the luckiest family in the world.

How do you know I've got a big stash of 80s and early 90s American porn on video? You really must be a spy!

Ah the classics! Nina Hartleys sweet ass! Christy Canyons big wobbly none plastic tits! Peter North shooting semen everywhere like a lawn sprinkler! Good old fashioned none complicated porn.

Just a sneaking suspicion...

Congrats on the loot.

What is that? About $3700?

At the current exchange rate its about $3150.

Congrats on the lotto win, limey. Apropos of topic #2: if you want to blow your mind in a not-good way watch the documentary "After Porn Ends" which interviews a number of former porn superstars. Seeing what they have become is frequently startling.

I won four dollars on the powerball the other day and then I accidentally through the damn ticket away while cleaning off my desk. I don't think I've ever won anything over 10 bucks.

I will definitely check that out. I know a lot of pornstars have ended up checking out in various sad and tragic ways. Lots of HIV, drug and suicide related deaths among pornstars. I can remember back in 1993 when Savannah ended her own life and everyone was so shocked because she was so young, beautiful and wealthy.

I took all of our assorted scratch off tickets in the other day and collected a whopping $34 that probably cost me at least $100.

Congrats CN!

Thank you all.

I hardly ever win shit and don't gamble much so as you can imagine this was a nice surprise for a change.

STFU ya creep.

The most I ever won on scratch of tickets was $20 and that was years ago. My brother is luckier. He won $250 on a scratch off a few years ago.[/i]

Congrats, CN.

My husband worked with a guy at the labor hall years ago that won $50,000 on a scratch off. The dumb ass blew it all right away and the next time we saw him he didn't even have a car. He did take us out for dinner after he won the money though.

I did a scratchoff the other day, and all I got was a scab.

One of the exes friends won $500k in the mega millions about 10 years ago.
