In my early 20's I decided to purchase a "black jack" scratch ticket that had 5 different games, if your hand was higher than the dealers you win the prize in the appropriate box.
Now normally scratch and wins contain a few large prizes to "tease" you into thinking you were SO CLOSE to winning the big prize, whether it be $1,000 or $20,000 and then in the end the 1 game you win out of 5 is the $2.00 prize.
Knowing this I decided to scratch all 5 playing fields before the prize amount and to my amazement and after triple checking I was in shock that I had the higher hand in every game. I immediately got super excited and thought I was going to pull some significant cash from this one in a million ticket.
Only to scratch the prize box on all 5 games and literally hit $2.00 on every game for a grand total of $10.00
TLDR: 5 game win = $10.00 = I refuse to buy scratch and wins any more, my dreams were shattered.
