My SO and I often buy the Crossword scratch cards. It's not because we ever think we'll win (we're definitely in the minus), but because we scratch two letters at a time and pass the card back and forth. It's a mindless game that only costs us $3 to play, and we get a lot of conversation in - often influenced by words in the game or letters like J that nearly never complete a word. We spend a lot more than $3 on our other entertainment outlets, and its better for the relationship than retiring to the living room to stare at a laptop screen. So we get what we pay for with scratch tickets.
