  1. I did in 1998 when I was 20. I blew it all on a few nights out and a holiday. A week after that I paid €10 into the bank and the cashier put in an extra zero by accident giving me €100, blew it all on two nights out. Never won anything ever since. You wouldn’t get a few nights out and a holiday for 500 now anyway.

  2. Yeah my sister won a grand a few years back. And a a guy I knew’s sister apparently won fifty grand on one a few years back. Though personally I’d rather spend the money on the Euros than scratchcards.

  3. Dead broke, literally 2 euro to my name….fuck it I’ll get a 2 euro scratch card

    Win 2 free tickets

    50 on the first and 20 on the second

    I had food for the rest of the week, never won anything on them since lol

    Edit: this was back in 2013, I was 19 working 3 days a week that would pay my rent and a few bits to eat so yeah when I say broke I mean I had nothing to eat for a few days….just water.

  4. If you’re looking at All Cash Gold, there are only two possible prizes over €200: €1,000 and €15,000.

    Out of the 19,500,000 cards printed in each batch, there are 78 €1,000 prizes and 15 €15,000 prizes, which means odds of 1-in-250,000 and 1-in-1,300,000 respectively.

    So yeah, chances are you aren’t going to hear of many people winning them.

  5. I know someone who won 250,000 grand from the 20 euro all cash last year. Same lad won 100 quid this year aswell

  6. I won a 100 quid last year on the 3 quid ones around 3 years ago I won 400 quid on one of the 10euros ones was actually my last tenner couldn’t believe it when it happened cashed it in the GPO on O’Connell St.

  7. A friend of mines father one 30k on one of the 3 euro scratch cards when they first came out. The fella was already a mortgage advisor in our local AIB so he wasn’t stuck for it before hand.

  8. I had a neighbour who won 10,000 pounds from a scratch card. She got it from a neighbour in a get well soon card after she had been attacked by a cow and ended up in hospital. A headline in one of the newspapers at the time was ‘It could be Moo’.

  9. When I was doing the leaving cert a classmate won 500 euro on a visit to the shop after an exam. He spent his winnings over a long period of time by upgrading his smokes from Amber Leaf to actual cigarettes. A hero in my eyes

  10. Did a stupid experiment back in my 20s, I bought 100 1€ scratch cards.

    I made €52 back.

    Never bought one since.

  11. I love the story about the Australian dude who $30k on a scratchcard and was doing a reenactment for a news report and won $250k on live TV.

  12. If someone put 5 euros into Bitcoin every week for the last ten years, instead of into lottery tickets, they would be sitting pretty.

    There are always a handful of winners in the lottery, but the odds are massively stacked against you.
