If we scan the QR code for him with our phone, there won’t be any chance of missing your date with the God of Wealth.

For people like us who don’t know how to read it, it’s pretty useful. The other day my dad couldn’t read it and we just scanned the code for him.

But others say you’ve lost out on half the fun if you skip the scratching.

I like the feeling of scratching it.
