Biggest Scratch Card Wins Ever
Scratch cards are usually regarded as the poor nephew of the gambling scene and something at which only a few nickels here and there can be won. This is a rather mistaken notion given that playing scratch cards can make you win huge.
Think that’s impossible, do you? Well, here are some of the luckier people who simply scratched their way to fame. And to fortune!
Jackie Murphy (₤1 million)– Jackie was just about to get married when she indulged in a whim and bought a scratch card. This turned out to be a winner and changed her life for good. She also saved most of the money rather than splashing it out on her nuptials.
Grace Walker (₤1 million)– Grace is an ardent scratch card player. She was a housewife in Scotland when she scooped up one of the biggest prizes in the scratch cards world. She chose the card she entered the record books in based on its colour- pink. Even now, despite her huge win she still lives simply along with her hubby, in a council home no less.
Susan Richards (₤3 million)– Susan was formerly a carer. At the end of an exhausting 12-hour day, she made the fateful decision to visit a supermarket, rather than go home. There, she bought a card that paid out ₤3 million in wins. Needless to say, she was quite excited.
Lewis Rider (₤1 million)– Lewis was a bartender who while on the way to buy some dog food decided to buy a few scratch cards too. These turned out to be a winner and the lucky guy was soon back at the bar celebrating with champagne. He intends to invest the money in property and has acquired a certain amount of attention for buying lots of expensive memorabilia including one of Arnold Schwarzenegger, from hit movies the Terminator 2.
A Mystery Millionaire– Back in 2014, the UK’s biggest scratch cards winner walked away with ₤4 million after paying ₤10 for a scratch card. The identity of the winner has never been revealed as he values his privacy. An interesting fact has to do with the win coming from the third scratch card rather than the first. That is, the winner bought an initial scratch card that was a bust, but still went ahead to buy a couple more. The final card turned out to be the winner and what a winner!
If you are interested in scratching your name into the record books and getting ahold of some hefty wins of your own, you can try such scratch cards like the Monster Wins, Irish Eyes, Emperor’s Garden and others of a similar statue. Come on, get the scratching adventure underway!
