Evening
The scratch card is reset every day at 00.00 GMT (2am here in SA) Now the thing im wondering is, if 1000 people have scratched the card by 00.10 GMT, will there already be 40 winners or are there only so many winners allocated every 30min or so? - if that makes sense?
So basically are my odds better to scratch the card at 00.01 GMT as compared to 2am GMT as there will already be 40 winners by 2am GMT? or does it not really make a difference?

I can't get into details, but I can say that odds are calculated automatically all the time based on different factors, so on average, your chances will be the same no matter what time of the day you scratch.

So I'm guessing the scratch card is generated on the fly once you begin the scratching, rather than preassign a scratch card per mobber....sounds logical, since this way all prizes will be sure to be won, instead of leaving un-won entries around

I have scratched twice now and won twice, the only problem is now that I cannot find the tournament anywhere on PP, really frustrating haha, someone tried to help me on here but what they told me was wrong . Good luck to everyone else.
