This post is part of Hobbies- Collecting out of ordinary-1
* Scratch ticket collecting: This hobby is called "lotology" and this site is from Scottlie, who is from Australia. Scottware is about collecting scratch off lottery tickets. Site provides information about this hobby as there is an interesting outcome of this hobby "Finding unclaimed prizes and winning on loosing tickets" and the story is:
$1000 on a ticket in a rubbish bin.
"I have collected many winning tickets over the years that had been thrown away by the person who'd bought them! A lady in the USA has found $1000 on a ticket that was in a rubbish bin!!! One day I'll find $250,000 on a ticket that someone has overlooked, you wait and see! (but don't hold your breath)
As well as winning tickets I have found100's of tickets with part or a whole game or set of numbers that have not been scratched. This means that I had a first hand chance of winning the major prize without purchasing the ticket."
