https://ttlc.intuit.com/community/taxes/discussion/scratch-ticket-winnings/01/2660050#M984283 <P>I am asking for my son who has won a substantial amount on a scratch off ticket. Can the losing scratch tickets he purchased throughout the year be used as gambling losses? They were purchased in cash but he has the actual losing tickets physically in hand.&nbsp;</P> Mon, 09 Mar 2026 11:39:23 GMT jv32 2026-03-09T11:39:23Z https://ttlc.intuit.com/community/taxes/discussion/scratch-ticket-winnings/01/2660050#M984283 <P>I am asking for my son who has won a substantial amount on a scratch off ticket.
