    Thanks for buying a scratchcard!

    You now have a Icetravaganza Scratchcard - Good Luck!

    I paid 600 (obviously) and they're going for 150K+ on the TP
    So do I scratch it and hope for mad money on the Jackpot?!
    ....
    or do I sell it for a decent amount of guaranteed profit?

    I don't know what to do! x_x

    I've *read* that you sell it
    According to Big Number Theory, it won't be profitable until the Jackpot is a certain amount, and you are willing to scratch TONS (like, even if it means going into debt)

    Scratch it...150k is nice, but you could get more.

    Then put it in your trades.. PM me and I'll buy it. And I will scratch it :p

    However, I'll be waiting until the jackpot is highish :p

    You need to start scratching a card.. just buy a cheap one and start scratching it. Just don't finish it then you can check the jackpot.. Once its above 1mil it'd be worth going for. the higher the better.

    Best result = 3 JP logo's BEFORE your last scratch :p Then just not scratching the last panel until you are happy with the JP price :D

    The chances of your winning big by scratching it are really low, and selling would ensure you some profit. However if you feel as though 150k isn't much by your standards then you should scratch it.

    Dont scratch it if you're gonna be upset for losing. I'd only scratch it if 150k was nothing to me ;0

    The way I see it is that if you have a bunch of money already like 1mil+ then hell, go for it. But if you are like most and have an average np count of somewhere around 50-300k then think of it this way: you happen to find a random map piece on the ground and lets say it's worth 150k, what are you gonna do? Sell it of course! So I guess my point is unless you have zero need for 150k np (which most of us do) then just sell the thing =). Also if you've scratched cards before you know the jackpot gets up reaaaaaly high so obviously even with that card your chances are 0/1000000 to get the jackpot.
