    Scratchcards

    You must claim your prize by the 180th day after the announced closure of the game. For information on dates of game closure, either ask your retailer, or call the National Lottery Line on 0845 9 100 000 or visit https://www.national-lottery.co.uk.

    Any prizes for either draw-based games or Scratchcard games remaining unclaimed after these time periods have expired are given to the Good Causes.




    Shouldn't be a problem :) That's 6 months on from now so even if the closing date is soon, you still h ave at least 6 months

    Lindt are also doing small GOLDEN TEDDIES at a much more reasonable 50p each.....and they are on offer at Tesco for

    FOUR FOR £1 :j

    Thanks for this, got some last night. I've decided to do xmas pots rather than gold pots as I'm not buying gold scratchcards at £5 each so I also bought some of the Lindt Bells which are also on 4 for £1

    Quite a good size too...

    Can I just ask, how many scratchcards are people putting in their pots? 1 or 2?

    I put 2 and a Christmas National Lottery draw paper in too (though I think you have to wait until like a week before for that one?)

  • Thanks Gleek.

    I was thinking of putting 2 in each as well. Think I'll buy 2 different types though as I've seen Christmas ones at £1 each with various different prize jackpots.

    Making 12 pots so asking for 12 of one type will hopefully increase the chances of there being at least one winner in there!!! :p

    I've made 19, so only 1 scratchcard, LOL!
  • If any of you crafters live near Beverley, East yorkshire, i am organising an Olde fashioned xmas fare, with craft stalls, on 3rd Dec.11am till 4pm if you would like to earn some little extra pennies, £10 a stall and its all for cystic fibrosis.

    Bought 14 scratchcards last year and not one single winner :( Buying 16 this year so fingers crossed this is the year !!
