I am afraid you got a wrong impression about Spanish Lottery. Actually it is a Christmas tradition to buy lottery from Madrid for all the people (family or friends) living in Spain (45 million people). It is a present, mainly, so no fuss about giving something the other person could dislike. It is plain paper, no scratching, so there isn´t any recycling problem.

keep them, because if you ever actually win the lottery, proof of spending money on cards that were not winners can defray the cost of taxes on your winnings! or when ever you win you can post a message on here telling others to send theirs to you and say that you bought them

Welcome back to Blighty Louisa!
So, about the scratchcards – you could make christmas decorations: just cut out 20 circles from the cards (you can draw round a coin); inside each circle draw an equilateral triangle with the points going right up to the perimeter; fold up the card around all 3 edges of the triangles; glue the tabs of all these circles together to make a ball; punch a small hole in one of the glued-together tabs & attach thread/ribbon/string for hanging; decorate as desired.
They made these on Blue Peter when I was little (although not out of scratchcards).
PS: Alison (Bailey Smith) & I got to meet up at the Environmental Art Awards dinner – Hi Alison, it was lovely to see you.

Use clothes pegs to attach them to the struts under your bike saddle so that they get flicked really fast by the spokes and you can pretend that you’re riding a 5 cc moped and you’re mates get well impressed.

Crochet the cards together and make a book bag, or purse.

Hello,

I read once an article giving ideas how to recycle business cards. I think it could work also for lottery scratch cards.

The one I prefer is the tea holder bag.
