Worst promotion ever. I harbor deep resentment for Food Lion. I bet they did this to make fun of poor people that play the lottery. I bet those fat cats are having a good laugh at our expense. I intend to never shop there again...unless I get hungry and need groceries in the ghetto. 9/1/2010 10:40:18 AM |

I understand why they only make them $1. Just wait until someone figures out you can see through them with the lights out and an optical mouse laser light 9/1/2010 10:42:35 AM |

Most people I know throw them away as well. I'm not going to do the internet codes either, seems like even more of a waste of time.
Also, all of these cards were for $1. I was at the Food Lion on Avent Ferry when someone came in to redeem a $2 card, and the employee said that was the highest one that they ever had. 9/1/2010 10:42:42 AM |

yeah, seems like with some kind of science you should be able to see through these things 9/1/2010 10:47:40 AM |

In 1997 I was working in this marina that was also a Texaco gas station. Texaco was running some kind of promotion similar to this where we would hand you a scratch off card whenever you bought gas. Odds were pretty good...1 in 4 wins. The standard prize was either one or two dollars worth of free gas; I can't remember which. Gas was only about a dollar a gallon back then, so it wasn't a bad deal.
Anyway, I was bored at work one day and started scratching off tickets. Within a couple of scratches I had my first winner. Four scratches later I had my second. Four scratches after that, guess what; another winner!
So then I went through half the deck going "1,2,3,Winner,1,2,3,Winner,1,2,3,Winner" and pulling out the fourth card.

i heard that LED lights can shine through these things enough so you can recognize whether a pattern is the same 9/1/2010 6:31:06 PM |

I tried...its REALLY tough...and not worth it unless you have plenty of time to make the $20 off of it.
most of the time it doesnt work for all the dots. 9/1/2010 6:40:31 PM |

i heard that if you put them in the freezer for 20 minutes it softens up the gold shit and you can see through them with just a simple incandescent 9/1/2010 6:43:02 PM |

yeah I sat around for a while last night shining my laser pointer through these things...you can barely make out the forms underneath, I suppose you could use the method to win but I stopped trying when I realized I'd just dicked around for 10 minutes trying to cheat my way into a dollar. 9/1/2010 6:45:55 PM |

Lol. My girlfriend and I went to Food Lion last week and the cashier just handed us a stack of them. There were 52 total. We scratched them all and didn't win shit. We scratched the prize on all of them and every damn one was $1. 9/1/2010 7:08:39 PM |

Nah just disappointed with the odds
I tried the laser pointer and LED methods, but its still hard to accurately find the pattern. If they didn't put the dark "$" then it'd be a piece of cake . I might try some more in the coming days . I tried in dark rooms (aka the bathroom and the closet) with inconclusive results...although I didn't try the LED in the bathroom...hmmm9/1/2010 11:48:30 PM |

my plan is to scrape off the prize amount first
if its something >$10 then I will really try and get it to work.
if not, screw it. 9/2/2010 9:24:10 AM |

^ that is what I always do. Peter is a jew though, so he takes them from me and continues to scratch off to see if he can win. 9/2/2010 10:06:37 AM |
