The WCLC Pac-Man Scratch & Win Lottery Ticket

The ticket, pre-scratch.

Saw this at 7-11 last night, and just had to buy it. Sure, it's not nearly as cool as that other Pac-Man Scratch & Win from Texas, where you could win an actual Pac-Man cocktail cabinet (drool....), but hey, there's still a $25,000 grand prize! The rules are pretty simple, scratch off each row and hope to find 5 Pac-Man's in a row w/o any ghosts, and win the corresponding prize at the end of that row. If, along the way, you happen across some fruit you nab the 'fruit bonus' for getting them, $20 instantly for a cherry symbol, and $50 for a strawberry symbol. There's also the obligatory "Bonus" spot that appears on every Western Canadian Lottery Ticket, which fools you into thinking you've actually got another chance to win something here. It's shaped like Pac-Man's head. All in all I feel that while the graphics are very nice, and control is a breeze, the overall fun factor and replayability were pretty much non-existent :P

Anyways, pretty cool lottery ticket all together, I guess, but a bit disheartening at the same time to see Namco pimp Pac-Man so easily and so half-assed lately. I mean, a lottery ticket is a pretty unlikely place to find the Pac, but oh well, 'll probably buy a few more of these the next few weeks, I'm sure. I'm such a sucker for this kind of stuff. Scroll down to see how I did on this particular ticket (I'll give you a hint: not good), and to see what it looks like fully un-covered.....

I didn't win a damn thing :(
