Not sure if its the right place to post...

Just have a question for anyone who regularly plays on the lottery scratchcards.

The £2+ cards have multiple chances to win, and i know that you can win twice or more, since I have but only afew quid at a time, but recently been playing the larger amounts, the £5 and £10 ones.

Well today got very lucky, bought a £10 card and won £50, ont he first go, out of 21 on the card, thought get in, and then... just kept on winning! £1,000 in total, won all 21 'games' on the card. I've never seen this happen, so was wondering, is this common? Is this the way the lottery pay out the £1,000 wins, or is this a complete fluke? Just feel like posting the picture of the card somewhere if its really rare

I know this may not be the best board, but it's popualr and ive seen other lottery questions on here so...

Thanks everyone :)

    I have bought an instant win game online before now that had three games to it and won on two of them, so it seems feasible that you could win on all three of them.

    With that in mind, quite possibly, it is possible to win on all those lines, though I would imagine it is also a bit more flukey than most wins.

    True, this time around it did. How many ten quid scratchcards have you bought to date? If it's less than a hundred you're obviously up on the deal.

    A ten quid outlay for a bit of gambling is too rich for my blood

    Oh ye its defo less than 100 and we won £10- £30 quite a few times, I'd say before today we were maybe £30 down, but It could've been less than that.
