Scratch & Win!

While at work the other day, my colleagues told me that if I buy the evening Chinese papers, they are offering two coupons for a scratch-and-win contest and the chance of winning SGD388 is actually quite good. We Chinese nationals try our luck at anything, especially if it gives us a chance to win some extra pocket money. So that evening, I decided to stop by a news stand to buy a copy of the evening paper.

That evening, I decided to try my luck with my room-mate friend, to see if I can win some extra pocket money. This scratch-and-win contest sounds like fun!

So with this, I started scratching away. We had to have a straight row of identical pictures in order to win anything, just like in a jack-pot machine.

Unfortunately, despite 2 attempts and despite the fact that my colleagues told me it was quite easy to win, it wasn't to be. I did not win anything at all.

Well, next time maybe... I'm just not so lucky when it comes to winning contests!
