Add Nebraska to the list

Looking at some searches for "Universal Monsters scratchers" I see that Pollard Banknote made an announcement last year that they had acquired a Universal Monsters for "licensed games".....a.k.a., lottery tickets/scratchers

I'd like to have a Creature one.

Creature, Wolfman, Frankenstein, the chances of winning are all the same - low.

If I had a Creature I wouldn't scratch it, because If I won, I'd have to turn in the ticket.  ;D

I wouldn't scratch any of them because I wouldn't want to deface my Mint collectible.

I'd like to get Frankenstein tickets from each of the states that offer them.  But, they don't sell them online.

Looks like they are printed in sequence so only every 5th or 7th (whatever) is a particular monster.  I guess I could buy however many it takes and scratch the others in hopes of getting my purchase price back.


I wonder how much these will be going for on eBay?

My problem, too.

I think they could only sell them on eBay if they have been scratched off.  :-\

Generic Dracula and Wolf Man.

Anyone can be infected with lycanthropy. Therefore Wolf Man should be generic.

Then he would be A Wolf Man and not THE Wolf Man.

Wolves typically prey on the small, weak, elderly and sick members of a herd.  So, shouldn't there be more wolf women, wolf children and wolf senior citizens?

I found one on the ground this morning, discarded in the parking lot of a liquor store.
The bigger question is: do lowlife litterbugs really deserve to win cash prizes?

I asked a friend of mine to get me a set from Arizona, as ( to my knowledge), they're not available in my state.  I'm not sure what I'm going to do with them, I just thought it would be nice to have them.

Does anyone know how long their good for? For instance if my poor kids have to clean out my house when I croak, could they still scratch and win? That's assuming I wait a while before checking out!

There is a time limit on claims, and if anyone plans on keeping them unscratched you can view the winners on their website usually and find out if the huge cash prizes have been claimed or not.
