Scratch R Scam?

Oh, that explains why I've kept trying to purchase the Premium scratchy, the last day or so, I thought I was going crazy..

    Lol, that's it, make you feel guilty by saying you made maggie cry. Evil devils.


    My kids crowned me the meanest mother in the whole world ever a long time ago, so they're going to have to try a lot harder if they want me to feel guilty. :)


    How can they say a thing like that!?





















    The whole world? The most they could reasonably say is that your the meanest mother they've ever had. :mrgreen:
  • As Emcee said, if you have recently purchased something from the iTunes store, there is a 15 minute grace period where you don't have to re-enter your password...and each accidental tap resets that 15 minutes. I got burned that way yesterday (even after I read it on here!!!). :evil:

    Also on my screen I noticed that they have removed the part about how you could have won 9, 12, 50, etc. donuts had you played the Golden Scratcher...not that I need it any more as I (like most on here) have memorized what I COULD have won. :lol:

    For those people who don't know yet, the scratch r's have been swapped around. The premium scratcher that used to sit at the top, had now moved to the bottom. Is this a marketing ploy from ea to try and catch people out and try to convince them to buy a premium one at the last second? Well It nearly caught me out today twice. Once this morning and I came on here and posted it and it just happened again. Just be careful and pay attention to what you select, just a heads up. Just if your a fast tapper like me, you might find yourself purchasing one by mistake.


    Thanks

    So you are going to make Maggie Cry. Everytime you don't buy a Premium scratchy she crys. I love reading that text all the time lol.
  • This has caused me to waste 8 donuts! Tried to buy a scratch card and when I clicked what I thought was the 69p button a normal scratch card up, so I tried again and alast another normal scratch card!

    Then realising they had been switched

    EA are sneaky! Or I might just be glum
  • Also, on the original ticket, they removed the text with how many donuts you "could have won". Happy to see that :). I only bought 2 scratchers and never again.
  • I noticed it too...only after clicking the wrong one a few times out of habit. It still trips me up even after knowing which to click.
