Lottery ticket favours

We're doing this but using scratch cards instead of lottery tickets, I just want to see if we get any winners on then night !!

Mrs Chippers to be, thinks I'm out of order, but I am buying one 'fake' scratch card, which is a winner of £50,000 and am going to give that to someone ! We'll have a normal one as well for them, but I just want to have one 'winner' for sure !!!!

Think what we said we will do is going and buy x amount at a time or something like that, as we need 110.

Are you just putting them in normal small envelopes or have you another idea of how you are going to give them ?

We are doing scratch cards too. Is there a time limit on claiming any winnings on them do you know?

Missykx -

Any prizes have to be claimed within 180 days of the game ending.

So, as long as they still sell them you wont have to worry.

I'd perhaps buy the ones that you see all of time so you know its an ongoing game, however, around valentines day, they normally bring out 'love' ones, decorated with hearts and the like, so you might want to get them to be a bit 'wedding themed' !?!?

Also, maybe I am thinking about this to much but hey ho, the ones with the lower jackpot prize tend to have more chances of winning, some say one in three cards is a winner ! - So I'd be tempted to buy them, might get a few more winners, allbeit lower amounts !!!

I'm not sure I'd thank you for this to be honest.

Kharv - from our guest list, there is not person who would take offence at something like this, so we'll be safe in the knowledge that it'll go down just as its intended, a bit of lighthearted fun !

Fair enough - you know your guests!

That was my plan to get some valentines ones.. but the wedding is 26th august! Do you think that would be too late? Maybe better off sticker with everyday ones and getting them a couple of weeks before.

I think, if you do it online it's 8 weeks. You'll have to go into a shop to ask how far in advance you can buy them there.

Unless you bought lottery tickets for, say, this week and then gave them out on the day.

You'll be fine with the valentines ones, they sell them throughout Feb and probably into March, so if you think they wont announce the end of the game for a while after they have sold them all, and then you have 180 days after that, it'll take you well past your wedding date and if people win, I bet they claim the prize the next day !!!

We had decided against scratch cards and were just going to go with the normal pink tickets! We were going to do the same as our friends wedding which was to roll them up quite tightly (I think they did it around a pencil) and then tie them with a ribbon.

However, I think you can buy lottery ticket holders, which are just folded cards with slots in the back, so that would probably work well for the scratch cards as well, but it depends how much you want to spend on top of the actual scratch card.

Has anyone else used actual tickets who can advise on how far in advance you can buy them?

Alice, sorry I completely missed your post!

I'm going to head into town at the weekend and find a shop to ask, but thought I'd try to avoid the embarrasment by asking on here first. Although I'm not sure that rocking up at a shop and asking for 70+ tickets is any less embarrasing!

Chocolate - do you have a local shop you get your weekend papers from or such like ?

Maybe could just mention it to them thats what you want, and you'd like to collect them on x date, and they could do them as they get quiet bits in that week and you pick them up at your pre arranged time and date ?

This is a good idea. I know my local shop keeper would be happy to help. I'm not sure if they make money from selling the tickets, if they do, they will be happy for the business.

As for the fake ticket, I think that's a bit of a cruel joke, hopefully your guests will take it as well as you hope!

Great idea. I've seen it done a number of times and it always goes down well. If you buy the tickets for that night, arrange with the DJ to get the results from the hotel receptionist and read them out.....thats always fun!

I'd be a bit miffed thinking I'd won £50k only then to be told it was a hoax! I hope they don't make it to the bar to buy a round for all of your guests before you tell them unless you're prepared to pick up their tab!

If you're doing luck dips, you would only be able to do it for the following Wednesday or Saturday.

Honestly, if I thought there was going to be any ill feeling or anyone would take offence we wouldnt do it...

Ha exactly! Because this is precisely what I would do...

I think I'd feel a bit of a numpty after the joke was revealed. Not sure I'd appreciate being the laughing stock of the whole wedding. I can manage that on my own thank you very much!

that's a pain. We're going to have a busy few days rolling/tying them all up!

The wedding is on a Thursday, so we had thought to buy the tickets for the Wednesday night draw and then announce the numbers during the speeches or something.

Does this make more sense then buying them for the Saturday after the Thursday and then leaving people to it? We thought it would be a bit more fun doing it for the Wednesday one..?

It is a pain. Would you not be able to give the job to someone else, as I'm sure you'll have a lot of other things on your mind!

I personally like the idea of announcing the numbers at the wedding, as it includes the favours in the day.

Could give it to someone else I suppose. I guess we'll see how we get on and then delegate as necessary.

It can't take that long to roll and tie 70+ lottery tickets...right?? *nervous laugh*

Ha, possibly wouldn't take that long. Just get a couple of people helping you and I'm sure it wouldn't take that long. You would be able to get them from the Thursday morning the week before the wedding, so it does give you a few days to get them sorted. I can just imagine the look on the cashiers face when you ask for 70 separate lucky dips, prepare for shock/possible death stare!

Hi there, members!

Holiday parties and weddings often come with those quirky traditions like lottery ticket favors, which can be a fun way to add some excitement. When it comes to winding down after all the festivities, I’ve found www.slotsspot.com to be a great place to enjoy some casual slot gaming. The site offers a wide variety of games with smooth play and clear bonus terms, making it easy to jump in and relax without any fuss. It’s become my go-to spot whenever I want some straightforward fun after a busy day of celebrations.

CSGORoll can be fun, but it’s even better when you’re not spending your own money to get started. That’s why I always hunt for promo codes before I play. After a bit of digging, I landed on https://csgorollpromocodes.com/ and I’m glad I did. It’s one of the few promo code sites that isn’t outdated or spammy. Everything’s organized, and you can tell the team behind it actually plays the game too. I’ve already used a few of the codes listed there to claim bonuses, and they worked like a charm. Whether you’re new to CSGORoll or just trying to stretch your balance, this page is a solid resource.

TheLottoz.com is an exciting hub for South Africa’s national lottery enthusiasts. More than just a game, it offers detailed information, tips, and insights for players seeking clarity and a sense of community. With a focus on fun, excitement, and inspiring dreams, this platform brings together lottery lovers to explore, share, and enjoy every moment of the lottery experience.

Simply enlist a few individuals to assist you, and I am confident that it will not require much time. You can arrange to have them available from the Thursday morning prior to the wedding, which provides you with several days to organize everything. I can easily envision the expression on the cashier's face when you request TestoY gel povecanje individual lucky dips; brace yourself for a look of astonishment or a potential glare!

You can usually buy physical lottery tickets only a few weeks before the draw, since shops receive them in batches closer to the draw date. Buying them 1–3 weeks in advance should be safe and still give you enough time to prepare them as wedding favours. If you're also considering online options or want to compare reliability, it helps to understand how CasinosSpot builds ratings , since they explain factors like transparency, operator credibility, and overall trustworthiness.

That sounds like such a fun idea! We did something similar at a family event a while back — we didn’t hit the jackpot either, but everyone loved the excitement and it definitely got people talking!

As for buying the tickets, I think most shops will sell them well in advance, but the exact time frame can vary depending Bflix TV on the lottery rules and the retailer. I’ve heard of people picking up large batches a few weeks before an event so they have time to sort, tie them up, and make them look nice. Going to a few different stores for lucky dips might be a fun way to spread the luck around too!

I might consider buying the cards that are commonly available, as they suggest that the game is still active. Nevertheless, during Valentine's Day, they usually introduce 'love' themed cards, embellished with hearts and such, so you may want to opt for those to achieve a more 'wedding themed' effect!?!? Moreover, perhaps I am pondering this excessively, but it is often said that cards with lower jackpot amounts have higher chances of winning; some assert that one in three cards is a winner! Thus, I would be tempted to purchase testoy kapsule , as it might yield a few additional winners, even if the amounts are smaller!!!

We actually did this at a friend’s wedding and it went down surprisingly well! People loved the little “what if we win?” moment at their tables, even though nobody ended up retiring early.

From what I remember when we looked into it, you can usually buy lottery tickets a few weeks in advance (around 4 weeks), even when buying in shops, so you should have plenty of time to get them, bundle them up, and attach them to favours. Wooflix

That’s such a fun and memorable idea for wedding favours! Even if no one wins, it still adds a little excitement for guests and gives them something interactive to enjoy. From what I know, you can usually buy lottery tickets from a shop anytime before the draw, but the exact timing might depend on the specific lottery and the retailer. NDIS Provider Bankstown
