Fake Scratch Cards For Pranks, Laughs & Tears

Who doesn’t want to see the disappointment on a sibling’s face when they realise a massive scratch card jackpot isn’t real? I know I do.

You will find people who think the ‘fake scratch card’ prank is a mean trick to play, and they’d be right. But it’s also bloody funny!

On this page, I will give you the lowdown on fake cards, best prank videos and a few cute ways to use fake cards for special occasions.

WHAT ARE FAKE SCRATCH CARDS?

Fake scratch cards are convincing reproductions of real-world game cards. They’re used to prank people into believing they’ve won a significant jackpot. It goes without saying (but I’ll say it anyway) you can’t win any money or prizes with fake cards.

The best way to prank someone with a fake card is to pass it off between a couple of real cards. Buy two or three National Lottery game cards from the shop, before you hand them to the person you want to prank, slip the fake between the legit scratch cards.
