Overview
- The TikTok reveal, reported Sunday by Mirror, Birmingham Live and Bristol Live, showed the group failed to recoup their £880 outlay.
- Megan Smith Evans and her friends each bought a £5 card every Friday from April to November, then saved them to scratch together in one session.
- They triple-checked every ticket, used a second checker, and set up a syndicate contract in case a large prize appeared.
- The final count left them about £50 down each, with Megan saying the experience put her off scratchcards.
- Reports cite roughly one-in-four odds on £5 games that include breakeven wins, and National Lottery rules limit purchases to 10 scratchcards per transaction.
