    Thanks :) wasnt sure if this was common, but sounds like it

    Its rare but if you look at the back they have so many scratchcards that will win X...how they get you to X is upto them.

    A friend of mine won 50k on one and told me that he could of easily missed it if he was not paying attention...I wonder how many have and thrown them away?
    It is nice to see the value of your house going up'' Why ?
    Unless you are planning to sell up and not live anywhere, I can;t see the advantage.
    If you are planning to upsize the new house will cost more.
    If you are planning to downsize your new house will cost more than it should
    If you are trying to buy your first house its almost impossible.

    I've won like that on £1 scratch cards, l think it was £12 altogether? My friend did the same as you, she won £100 x10 on a £2 card, she won every 'game' on it.

    Enjoy your winnings!


    Happy moneysaving all.

    Congrats Guest101. Someone from County Tyrone won £1m on one of those cards within the last week.
    I'll be your dad now, "Make sure you don't give it all back!" :D
