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:

Sorry
Thanks for playing

The winning cards start with:

$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. :D

Not really racist!

cool, I just tryed mine and could read it. I was confused as hell trying to figure out what it said, untill I released there must be a french part too, as it didn't match you want said :D :D... so read the top half of the scatch part.

mine both say thanks for playing :(

Actually, there's no French... the bottom half has some instructions for the cashiers and stuff... but yeah, looking at the top half is enough.

Desk lamp isn't good enough. 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.

Technically, yes... but you could try to go to a store that has the self checkouts and pretend to scratch it there before showing the attendant. They're not overly strict about it...

Actually, yeah... I forgot to mention that, and it's pretty important. Doing it in a dark room helps big time...

So what kind of stuff can you win??

So what kind of stuff can you win??

you get either $5 off your purchase, or 1 or 3 chance of 10,000.

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.

InvisibleSoul

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. :)

They're not exactly randomly distributed... as in, you can go through 20 cards in a row and not get a single winner, but then you get 10 winners in the next 20 cards... trust me, I know. :p
