You know those scratchcards that you should have gotten with your flyers the past three weeks?
You can tell whether if it's a winner before taking it to the store.
You just need a very dark room, and then shine a bright light to the back through the black part, and you should be able to see enough wording to determine if it's a winner or a loser.
Even a single LED keychain flashlight can work, but it's a lot easier with my 9-LED flashlight.
Do
The losing cards start with: The winning cards start with: Quote: $5 instant coupon
To claim your prize | The first line is in lighter print, so it's harder to see. Much easier to look at the second line instead.
Have fun.

Ideally you need a light that's concentrated to only shine at the back black part, and a dark room.
LED keychain light can work, but only if you know what to look for... sometimes it's not easy though.

so really you might get $5. and you aren't going to get the 10,000...
not worth the effort of finding more flyers to check.

Yeah, it's just $5 off $5 purchase coupons... so basically you can get some small items for free.
This is good for those that live in apartments. |
