Disappearing Scratchcard prize

[Nielo]

I just had the weirdest thing happen: I scratched 3 snowballs on the Lost Desert Scorched Treasure scratchcard, and the second I clicked on "claim your prize", the kiosk closed ("out to lunch"), and I didn't get my prize. I don't mind too much, because it's only a sand snowball, but I hadn't realised the game would glitch like this if you happen to click the button the exact second (well, almost exact, it might've changed when I was still working on revealing the snowballs) the status of the kiosk changes. I guess it's not something that happens often. Out of curiosity, has anyone else ever had something like this happen?

I've never had this happen to me, but could you imagine if you would've gotten the jackpot instead of just a snowball? I probably would have screamed.

Have you tried going back to the kiosk? Your scratchcard might still be there waiting for you to click claim your prize.

I hadn't, but you were right, it was still there! (All I had to do was remember which squares I'd scratched open last night. :P)

I found that it doesn't matter which squares were scratched though... I've returned to an non-discarded card a couple of times. Once you uncovered certain squares, doesn't matter which you scratch again, the same things come up.

Huh, good to know. I guess that makes sense, as the prize has already been determined. Thanks for the info!

I think what happens is that your scratch choices don't matter.

Each card you redeem will have six results no matter where you scratch on the card. So if it glitches you can try all over again, but will get the same order and same result even if you try different combinations.
