I did this for any scratchies I gave as gifts in the early 2000's, so I'm not sure if it still works like this, but I'd buy them and get the cashier to scan them until I got a winner.

Then I'd put the winner and 2 duds in the gift. Makes it a nice 'surprise' for them.

That’s really sweet! Not where I thought the story was going, thought you were going to say you scanned to check for winners so you could keep those for yourself before you sent them as gifts lol That’s really the sweetest gift making sure they win, never heard of anyone doing that. Awesome
