Unlike this senior, the only thing I’ve ever won on a scratchie was $2. Nudging away the grey film with a 20c coin, I was always filled with burning anticipation until the final, well, FAIL. I always thought scratch and sniff stickers were better, but that’s another story. A story before TMOD re-birthed the scratchie.
**Brought to the public domain by their Smoke & Mirrors jewellery collection, TMOD (Turn Me On Design) dig the interactive. Putting the coin back in your hand, their scratchie card range – with its mechanical illustrations of castles, damsels and jungle fauna – covers every occasion from Christmas and love notes to fortune cards.
If a message in a bottle delivered by sea seems a little much this Yuletide, deposit your message under layers of silver.
