The final losing scratchcard of 2025! It’s a big £5 scratchcard with many more losing games than the usual card.
Here it is - the final card of #Scratchvent 2025. It’s a bonus £5 for Christmas Say to really spice things up.
And… it’s a loss! No win.
So, after a very promising start, it’s just £12 won in 25 days, the second worst calendar in record. Oh well!
It’s time for the final day in #Scratchvent - part 1!
Here is the regular card for the day - not a win!

The worst Scratchvent I have done on record was last year, at £10 won. The second-worst was £16 won, so with tomorrow having the usual £1 and bonus £5 card, we need to win £4 to beat that.

Here's the graph of #Scratchvent 2025 so far!
The stonking start has petered out somewhat - after Day 15 I'm now slightly below the expected winnings value. These scratchcards have a payout of 61.01% of their value, so the average winnings for 15 of them is £9.15. Thus I'm 15p behind the curve.
