scratchTHIS

Okay, let me preface this by saying please don't hate me for this one when you wind up addicted! Something a little different for the weekend...

scratchTHIS is a site filled with online scratch-offs and such stuff. You can win scratchTHIS dollars that you can then redeem for prizes which, right, now, include a large selection of $25 gift cards (Target, BestBuy, and more); iPhones and iPods of various flavors; a Wii; a PS3; or a couple of other electronics gadgets. (It doesn't say Amazon gift cards but naturally I'm kinda hoping that's one of them - refer to my earlier post this week about Swag Bucks and my mission for Amazon gift cards for Christmas - but Target will be just fine with me if not.)

I found this site as a PTS signup on one of my GPT haunts the other day and was just immediately enthralled - I didn't win very many scratchTHIS dollars that night, but I won some and had a big time! We didn't have a lottery here where I live for the longest time (even though every state around us had a lottery or casinos), but for years much of my family lived in either lottery states or by the border of one, so scratch-offs in Christmas stockings have been a family tradition every year since the early Nineties and I love scratching 'em, so yeah, I could spend hours and hours on this site and of course am now shooting for at least one gift card before Christmas time approaches.

Anyway, it's fun, you can win gift cards and other stuff (there is stuff in the FAQ about cash prizes, though I don't see any on the site at this time), and if you're eligible you should sign up! It is open to residents of the US and Canada (except Quebec) that are 18 years of age or older; New York and Florida residents are eligible to play and win the full prizes on all games up to the top amounts allowed by their state laws. (Prizes under $600 are sent within 90 days, over $600 require paperwork as listed in the FAQ.)

Referrals: You receive $500 scratchTHIS dollars for every referral who joins ($100 scratchTHIS dollars when they sign up and $400 after they have made 100 plays), and 10% of whatever your referrals win.

scratchTHIS is absolutely free to join, and there is no limit to how many times you can win. If you live in the US or Canada (except Quebec) and are eligible, join today and play!
