Everyone loves scratch tickets. They're a cheap, fun way to have a chance at winning some big money or great prizes. Scratch tickets also make great gifts, since they're so inexpensive and fun. They're an even better gift still if you pick a winner, and the recipient wins big! I'm sure you'd both be glad that you opted for a scratch ticket instead of a birthday card.

There are many different kinds of Scratch Tickets out there, depending on what your interests are. Some of the more popular ones are bingo and crossword puzzle tickets. These are just like any other scratch ticket, giving you the chance at a large cash jackpot, but the difference is in the way you play the tickets. In bingo, you have your numbers up top that are called out, and you have to match them to the ones on your bingo card. If you get a line, you're a winner!

Fun and Easy Scratch Tickets
Crossword puzzle scratch tickets are just as fun as bingo tickets. You have a pool of letters that you reveal up top by scratching, and then you have to scratch the corresponding letters off below, and try and form words. If you form enough words, you can win big. Before you get too excited about winning, you should always double-check your ticket and make sure you didn't make a mistake somewhere. The same goes for a losing ticket; sometimes you can miss a letter or number, and throw away a winner.

One of my favorite types of scratch tickets is the Cash for Life type of ticket. This is a unique game, I think, because it doesn't just give you a lump sum jackpot, but instead gives you so much money every week for the rest of your life. Can you imagine getting $1000 a week for the rest of your life, all because of a little scratch ticket? It's like having a good paying full-time job, without having to ever show up.
