My Easy Money Theory

I have yet to test this but I think it would work, so here it is. Take $100 and break it into singles. Go to various stores and buy 100 of those $1 scratch off tickets. Now I don't buy those that often, but I'm think that with 100 chances I'm bound to win <$500. And with the amount being small, I could have it cashed in store. Then from whatever I win take $100 and repeat the next day. So would this be easy money or no?

No.
Do you think scratch off tickets are designed to pay out more than they bring in?

I did a little experiment similar to that with a friend, we'd buy a book of 300 tickets and scratch them off, the average pay out was about 60%, never found a book with the big winners

the only way to get rich quick is to develop a scheme that sounds good and then sell others on the idea that they can get rich quick

Heres a better idea; Save up £10,000 and put in a high interest tax free savings account - you will win about £60 every month.

I did that scheme on ebay, I didn't get rich quick.
I did make some money from it though. About £5-10 a week.

better yet, take that £10,000, invest in printing a publication with audio cassettes that tell you can make millions investing other peoples money in real estate and junk bonds, sell the package for $500 and sit back raking in the cash

I didn't want to quit my day job just yet. More as a fun thing to try.

How old are you?
I worked in a avarage low pay job and lived with my parents. I had a social life, I spent money on crap but I still saved £5000 a year. That £10,000 is easily achievable by anyone within a few years, provided 1) They work and 2) They have will power to save.
I expect you spend all your money on mindless things you don't need - like scratchcards

Here's the problem. You need money to make money. Once you have a lot of it, its very easy to make more.

Little to late for that now. Maybe it's bad but I don't imagine myself counting pennies while i have thousands lying in the bank. Rather live it up and travel or something.

Welll in this economy it's probably harder than 10 years ago. Let me give you one example though assuming we had a better economy.
You are able to purchase a plot of land that costs 1 million dollars, in a few years that plot of land will be worth much more. Again... not in todays economy.
You purchase a large amount of stock in a company. Instead of a cash dividend you opt for a stock dividend. Because you have so much invested, you will receive a decent amount of stock... it just adds up and becomes exponential.
Like I said, if you have large quantities of money this works much easier. If youre starting with 10 dollars... well, you see my point I think.
I don't know exact return rates or anything off the top of my head though.
Basically, if you have the money, you have the means to take that money and turn it into more because large sums of money yield larger profits.
Proportionately it may be the same thing... 10 dollars vs 10000 dollars, but 10,000 is not the same as 10.
