But the cards often ended down the back of the sofa or in the bin.
Now an expert in the field has created a lot of interest online after claiming that winning is not purely a matter of chance.
The guru, who uses the TikTok handle @lotteryvlogs.us, posted a comment which read: "Cracking the lottery secret: buy the same ticket instead of mismatching."
The message continued: " Crossword puzzles are a b***h to scratch, but have good winners. Holiday tickets suck and only win in the middle of the multiplier.

"Tickets I x50 are the best tickets when this or that, have horrible odds and never win. $30 tickets have the better odds and are my friend."
They also advised punters to avoid one particular number. The message read: "Tickets that have the number seven in it means to avoid it like your ex."
The comments prompted a mixed reaction from other TikTok users.
One said: "Well, now I'm going to buy the more expensive tickets," another chimed in with: "I never buy holiday tickets."

Another said: "I work at a gas station and this is all FACTS!"
And one said: "There's no way to crack the lottery but good tips. Lol, I've seen someone buy one $5 ticket and win $10,000 and they never buy scratchers."
The National Lottery launched its first instant win scratchcard in 1995 and they can now be bought in more than 40,000 shops across the UK.
