I created this thread for those of you that play a random game or something and are about to get something great, but then in the end you lose anyways.

So I was being my normal happy cheerful self when I ran into this dark, mysterious, vile-looking place.



I walked up and saw this twisted person:



I knew I was in for trouble.

"Wanna buy a scratchcard? " The evil being hissed.

"No."

Then, a group of muggers appeared and stole all of my 600 Neopoints! What has the world come to?! The muggers gave the money to the Thing and disappeared.

"Here is your scratchcard. " the Thing yelled malevolently.

*sniff sniff* "Ok "

I then proceeded to scratch the card.

Snowball, yes! 5,000 yes! 10,000 yes!!!! 5,000... yes? 10,000 omfg yes!



Then it happened, I slowly began to scratch off the last available scratchy thingy. Nothing... nothing... nothing.

"Noooooooo!" I cried as if I were in a dramatic movie.

So here I am now. Broken down, heartbroken.


What about you guys?

hahaha remember those trillionftw auctions? yeah i was in the top 4 bidders in like 4 of them...missed every-single-fucking-one. it was then that i decided that you never win anything on neo unless you're sucking someone's dick.

[Scot]

Same thing happened to me, except instead of the Kiosk Wocky, it was Jerry Sandusky.

[fallendevilz]

Always happens to me, but that story was awesome.. Also I've never even scratched off ONE jackpot on those.. It's all a mahoosive conspiracy!!
The worst one is Test Your Strength Never win big.

Nothing like sex noises to end the day with.

Nothing like sex noises to end the day with.

does your sex always end in shame and disappointment though? I mean you build up beautifully to what would be an amazing climax and then WHAM...blank.

[Love]

I think I won the 10k once .... But it was a lot of losing like this.

And Cold.... I will have nightmares of that imagine now, thanks.

:C It's not fair that TNT likes to toy with us.

Whenever I get in the mood to try my luck with a scratch card....it's always like "YES I'M WINNING! YES I'M WINNING! ........OH SON OF A -expletive string-"

[Tomo]

Lever of doom pisses me off. Not really a game, but another way that TNT toys with us. Used around 40k on an old account and still didn't get the avatar.

I feel the same way about the wheel of monotony, you wait hours and HOURS just to get hit by a rock and lose half your hp or to get roared at by that damn pterodactyl. You're drawn in because you think "Hmm maybe I'll finally win that Tyrannian Paint Brush.." BUT NOPE YOU GET A FUCKING LOTTERY TICKET OR SOMETHING

[Goose]

Test Your Strength...

For years I've never gotten higher than a score of probably 9...I press the butten and the thing crawls up half an inch then stops...

The other day I hit it and it shoots up, I get dead excited...I'm thinking it's trophy time, maybe I'll get a PB or something cool, despite it going really fast, it just slams to a halt at 'Pathetic'. Guh.

[Rainie]

"Noooooooo!" I cried as if I were in a dramatic movie.

LOL xD~

But I think that the only times I feel similar to what you're explaining is when I miss an auction snipe

Same thing happened every time for me, then i just quit it. Now I save myself from about 30 seconds of sad pain everyday.

Have you never bought a scratch card in real life? They are always like that.
I've gotten 2/3 cash for life like 10 times

Gambling is the tax on stupidity. They have to make the few winner's money come from somewhere, and odds are you'll pay more to others than you will ever get. The more you know!

Welcome to Neopets
In my 10 years of playing, I've come to expect shit for prizes every day....at least when I actually do win good stuff, it's a nice surprise!

I've always had pretty decent luck on Neo though, lol

Buy the expensive scratchcards

I always buy like 5 or so of the $20 ones and usually make my money back and sometimes way more. I might just have good luck though idk xD

I won the lottery once. I was so happy that the three dollars I won could buy me 3 more losing tickets.

Oh dear lord, I've been spinning the Wheel of Extravagance on numerous accounts, and most of the time, it lands in between something like, 50k and a Paint Brush... and it's like, exactly on the line.

[ShinaDutchAD]

Don't even get me started on the new wheel.

It's ripped me off so much I don't even bother to get the avatar anymore

The wheel is the reason I live on the streets begging beggars for food.

I tried that actually. Doesn't work all too well.

Well...I guess I would have more luck not sitting in the middle of a desert.

Maybe I can steal some NP from Skarl >>

Skarl doesn't live in the desert.
