The Kwik-E-Mart Scratch-Rs are a fun addition to the game and come in two types. You can purchase the free Scratch-R, that will cost you $250 game dollars, or you can purchase the Golden Scratch-R for $0.99 (real life dollars). The difference being the Scratch-R awards you with game dollars and the Golden Scratch-R awards you with donuts. The best news? No matter which one you choose, every Scratch-R is a winner!
Here are the Basics:
Scratch-R:
The Scratch-R game is available to play free (well $250 game dollars) at the Kwik-E-Mary every 6 hours and it offers a range of game dollar prizes from $350- $10,000. While every ticket is a winner, not every ticket is a big winner.
Here are the odds:
$10,000- 1/100 (or 1%)
$2,500- 1/24 (or 4%)
$1,250- 1/10 (or 10%)
$750- 1/5 (or 20%)
$500- 1/3 (or 32%)
$350- 1/3 (or 33%)
The Golden Ticket…er Scratch-R:
The Golden Scratch-R is currently the cheapest, real money, option to purchase donuts. For $0.99/ea ($0.99 buys you 1 Scratch-R and 1 Scratch-R only) these are also purchased from the Kwik-E-Mart and offers a range of donut prizes from 6-100 donuts! While every ticket is a winner, not every ticket is a big winner.
Here are the odds:
100 donuts- 1/50 (at 2% these are better odds than winning $10,000 on the other Scratch-R)
50 donuts- 1/25 (or 4%)
20 donuts- 1/10 (or 10%)
12 donuts- 1/5 (or 20%)
9 donuts- 1/3 (or 32%)
6 donuts- 1/3 (or 32%)
Obviously it’s cheaper than buying from the donut store, but is it better?
Yes, slightly. It breaks down like this. The cheapest option in the donut store is a dozen donuts (12) for $1.99 and the Golden Scratch-R is $0.99. Even if you only win 6 donuts the first try and buy another one for $0.99 and still win 6 donuts, that’s $1.98 spent for 12 donuts. So it’s $0.01 less than buying a dozen donuts from the store. So if you’re feeling lucky you might want to look into buying a Golden Scratch-R. After all you can’t do any worse than if you were to buy the donuts from the store and you might get lucky and win a lot more than 6 donuts!
What do you say? Are you feeling lucky enough to try your luck at the Itchy and Scratch-Rs? You never know you just might win enough donuts to buy Arnie Pye and his Pye in the Sky helicopter!
