Most of us at some time have bought a scratch card or scratch off ticket and most of us will just toss it into the bin once it has been revealed as loser.

However collecting lottery tickets especially scratch off’s is becoming increasingly popular in the US and in Europe, and the name for the hobby is known as Lotology.

Scratch off’s are the main focus for enthusiasts with 75% of lotologists specialising in collecting them, other interesting tickets include void and mint condition tickets that have yet to be scratched.

There are many groups popping up around the world which are devoted to lotology and a search of the web reveals web sites, newsgroups and even forums that are used by the people who love collecting lottery tickets. Some sites specialise in buying and selling tickets that have been used and are non winning.

There are also clubs around the world the main one being the Global Lottery Collectors Society, this is based in the US and has a large following.

If scratch cards are your thing, im afraid we can’t help with producing the actual ticket but we can recommend a great site for you to play, it is called Scratch2Cash and has fast become the worlds number 1 online scratch card site.
