Bought 20 Gold Scratchers.

How many does $20 usually get?
Edit- 300

Tbh I think you we're unlucky not to win more. If you'd have hit the 100 you'd be up 50 odd

300 donuts

absolutely. The scratchers are only worth a $1 here and there. Otherwise, the odds are better to just buy the donuts.

Average 11.85 donuts per dollar. Even the $10 package is a better deal than that.

Didn't want the figures to get lost in the mixture of posts.

The true long term average for golden scratchers is 13.2 donuts per ticket. So you are better off buying the 300 donuts for $20 than buying scratchers in the long run. At the $10 purchase level, it makes no difference in the long run whether you buy scratchers or the flat amount as both give an expected 132 donuts for $10.

Makes sense. Fair enough.

I only buy them if ive got a few pennies left in my account, the way I see it, it's just shrapnel that would sit there otherwise.

GamerGD3 · July 28, 2014 2:15PM

Figures, only bought two and got 6 and 12 donuts. So I know never again. I think donuts are better in bulk, specifically when they come in to the dock (off a boat).

Wow, impressive! Anyway, better luck next time! :O

I've bought 6 so far. I've had 100,50,12,6,20,and I believe another 6 or 12. So thats about 200 which is well above the 10 dollar and below the 20 dollar one for. So around 200 for 6 dollars I would say is better then buying from the store options for me.

I used to spend $20 on scratchers. First time I got 100 twice in a row - think I ended up with something like 600. The next 2 times I was 50 or so short of what you'd get if you bought donuts (truckload). After that I thought stuff it and just bought a truckload.

LeeNewton13 · July 29, 2014 10:50AM

I usually buy a couple every Sunday, gives me a little donut boost and comes with a very small cost that I won't really miss. I don't want to fork out for bulk amounts of donuts and I'm in no rush to buy the premium items, I feel that I'm getting a decent enough return for the cost of them.

EldarOfSuburbia · July 29, 2014 2:20PM

I buy one every Saturday, have been for about a year. Missed a couple, but it's been regular. I've got 100 once, 50 once (last Saturday! something about being on vacation, I got my 100 when I was on vacation... hmm...), but it's been almost all 20/12/9/6.

In that time I've spent $15 on fixed amounts of donuts.

The way I figure it, I can easily justify $1/week especially when it goes on a credit card that I blindly pay off every month without blinking.

Justifying $10 every couple of months isn't as easy. Or as much fun, tbh. After all, I could hit the jackpot
