I’m starting to develop a problem with these cards. Got my money from social services today for food and I’ve spent it all on scratch cards and didn’t win anything, now I have no money for food or cola until next week. I can’t ask for further money from social services as they’ll just put extra control on me. Might visit a food bank if I can? my staff won’t take me down the council to get a food bank note as they they I’ve got to much money in my social services account. I dare not ask them though.
What are you going to eat then?

If you are spending all your money set aside for food on scratch cards, I would definitely say that you have a gambling problem. Maybe you need to look into counseling.

Its got bad since I won £100 on a instant win and I got a rush, must of spent £400 since on scratch cards and had little wins but that goes on more scratch cards. I need to do something about it.

Don’t spend more than you can afford. The odds of going in plus on scratch cards is very small. I don’t know anybody who has won more than they lost by a good margin. It’s a trick. They make you think you can get rich, but it’s the people selling the scratch cards that are the winners.

You need a voucher from an appropraite agency, You cannot just walk in and ask for food. They are all Trussel Trust these days.
