Gluck Games break a Guinness World Record at iGB Live

This iGBLive in Amsterdam made history by breaking a Guinness World Record: the largest number of people scratching scratchcards! Previously the record was held by the lottery in the Philippines, but Gluck and the people at iGBLive scratched that out with 386 people taking part in the final record attempt.
Stewards ushered in the people, before the doors were closed and the official Guinness World Record adjudicator called for the scratching to begin! The sound of nearly 400 people beginning to scratch off to find out if they had won, filled the massive hall. Those without keys, coins or scratching implements resorted to their nails. One participant took off an engagement ring and used the diamond to get scratching – while a man with nails cut too short, made a worrying attempt on the card with his teeth!
Winner Winner!
No matter what they used, people were anxious to find out – were they one of the lucky winner? There were ten top 450€ prizes – making some very happy people at the conference – including two support staff from the venue itself for whom this was the best show they’ve ever worked at! Others expressed amazement at having won – convinced the winning cards must be a promotion, rather than an actual cash sum! One winner said how she had never won anything before, ‘not even a raffle!’
10 winners from 386 participants translates to a 1 in 38 win rate – while the chance of winning just £140 in the National Lottery is 1 in 2,180 – making it clear that the Guinness World Record was about more than just the glory for some lucky people.
Scratch the Record!
There was a nerve-racking rate as each steward confirmed the tally of participants. Overseen by an official Guinness World Record judge and gaming legend, Michael Caselli, the win was announced to excited cheers from the anxious organisers at Gluck Games.
The guys and gals at Gluck Games wish anyone else attempting a record well: “there can never be too much fun in the world,” says Chief Commercial Officer and Founder, Helen Walton. “We love playing scratch cards ourselves and we’ve always wanted the honour of a World Record. Now we can truly say this was a world-record breaking event and an occasion we will never forget!”
