The objective of this post is to figure out if it is better to buy gold from Goldmoney, or play California Gold scratcher lottery. If you think you know the outcome.... well you probably do.
Who can resist this fancy gold scratcher? These attractive black and gold colors make it almost irresistible.
With odds like these, what could possibly go wrong?
I donned my lucky Goldmoney t shirt and a coin to conduct this experiment.
Eagle eyed silver stackers probably noticed that I’m holding a Morgan Silver Dollar, which is 90% silver. Did I mention that you can purchase fully allocated silver bullion through Goldmoney? To sign up for a Goldmoney Holding start here: https://www.goldmoney.com/w/goldmatters
Here’s a closer look:
Starting out I had high hopes of striking it rich.
After all, there was gold here:
And gold here:
I was off to an awesome start with one of my numbers matching the winning numbers!
I won $20!!!
Through my euphoria I flashed back to 5 minutes earlier:
A 33.33% loss in 5 minutes!
What to do next? Panic? Double down? It was then that I remember the whole point of this exercise. I quickly rallied, got my game face on, and executed my plan.
After funding my Goldmoney Holding with PayPal:
I used my winnings and selected my metal (Gold).
Picked a vault to store the gold. These vaults are both audited and the metal is insured and fully allocated.
Purchased metal.
In the end, I am happy to secure the $20 in the New York vault in the form of gold. It may not be as exciting as rolling it back into another scratcher, but its an efficient way to preserve savings over time. Mrs. Goldmatters will be a lot happier with this decision as well.
Goldmoney safeguards nearly $2 billion of assets for clients in 150 countries.
Collecting lottery winnings in 26 annual payments from the California Lottery.... a little less certain imho!
Goldmoney is the clear winner for the least expensive and most convenient form of gold ownership.
Although I did find a little something pretty cool on that scratcher.....
Attention Steemians! What would you like me to blog about next? Goldmoney vs...... ? Please leave your awesome suggestions below.

Hmm, let me think of other terrible ways to get gold, do a vs refining old electronics, i've seen guys spend so much time dismantling stuff for minute pieces, plus it's so dangerous.
Or maybe one about all those people that claim you can extract it from the ocean water.
Even better, go to outter space and mine some asteroids...lol.
This is getting really fun now,
Goldmoney for the win!
GOLDMONEY VS ASTEROID MINING!
Oh yeah My choice is "Gold Money"
Me too!
I'll definitely be tuning in for that episode!
Lol I would 1. A crowdfunding effort here on steemit to achieve this ( we can hit up Elon musk) 2. A SteemSilverCoin illustrating this occasion
You got this all figured out man! No wonder your the master, I'll contribute to the crowdfunding. How much to go to space with you?
Get me one of those original SteemSilverCoins and you are in :)
Ha, this goldmoney vs series is fun! I wonder if anything could out preform gold money. I know you already panned gold, do you happen to do any metal detecting? Or maybe some prospecting? Go outside and whack some quartz with a hammer, just remember to wear safety gear...lol.
Those are AWESOME suggestions! Looks like I have my work cut out for me:)
goldmoney for life

Fantastic !
Fantastic !
I'm not much into scratch tickets but that one is right up my alley 😁 fact is $30 is the most expensive ticket I've ever seen and I could buy over a half a gram of gold for that price. I'm w @phelimint..you're gonna have to go to space now my friend lol
Lol! Yeah it was an expensive blog post :)
Lol! Yeah it was an expensive blog post :)
Lol... one day i hope to become a professional lottary winner
I support you on that
$30. Damn, the biggest we have in the UK is £10. There is a special £20 one at xmas but that's alot for a card. At least you got enough to play on with a $20 card :) Is that normal to win less than you paid for the card? I have never seen that before, i thought min prizes should eb at least the price of the card.
Great post btw :)
Good catch! Believe it or not a commenter pointed out that same thing and I went back and realized that I had actually won more after I had made the post! Lol thank god for Steemit!
I see it more like.. 4 tickets that equal approx 1/10th ounce gold coin delivered and in my hand is the best sure bet and a sure win for me..... "MY" hand instead of someone (whoknowswhos) vault.. I'll stack
Wow it's amazing @goldmatters! But it's might be risky!
Yes, should have stuck with putting the whole $30 into Goldmoney! :)
I wish man next time you will earn up-to 300$
Why thank you!
Compare your gold with the BTC, that would be surprisingly.
Good suggestion! That would be plenty controversial:). Maybe I should compare my two Halloween costumes ! https://steemit.com/bitcoin/@goldmatters/when-everyone-makes-fun-of-you-for-being-a-bitcoin-for-halloween
great post and congratulation $20 winning.
Thank you! Thanks for reading
it's might be risky!
I think you meant to say losing $10...
wow !! AMAZEE ... i wish you and me get more ;)) hehe
wish u best best luck

Maybe gold rubbed against more gold will create a jackpot :D those tickets are already such an addiction
I like this idea :)
Wait a minute here, what did you really win? In CA lottery you can't win less than what you paid for the ticket. Your hiding the real winnings of that ticket! lol sorry had to call you out on that. But I do see your real intentions of raising awareness and I applaud you for that.
You know what.... you’re right lol! I just checked the ticket and there were additional winnings! It is an honest mistake though, I was way more focused on the blog post than I was checking the ticket, and I missed it. Thanks for pointing this out. I will have to include a correction in my next blog
Awesome, happened to me too a few times. Went in to redeem my ticket thinking I won $20 and he was like here's $70 lol it happens
Lol this is kind of embarrassing that I missed this. It would have changed the whole content of the blog. Guess I’m human after all :).
Really liked your humor with the instant loss. Questions:
If your gold is stored in vaults around the world, what's the benefit of that versus all nearest you locally?
Can you go to these vaults and pick up your gold? I read that you can have it shipped, but you only qualify if it's a really large amount.
Have you ever been to a vault to see that it's truly a 1:1 gold to ownership ratio?
Thank you for your time.
Thank you for your great questions! Regarding the vault question.... its a personal preference really. Some people like to have their precious metals holding in different jurisdictions around the world because they feel it mitigates risk. To be honest I dont think it matters, all the vaults are insured....... There are ways to redeem your metal but most people dont use Goldmoney in that way. I have seen many people redeem some metal as a way of a personal audit when first starting as a client, that has been a fairly common practice...... I do not personally audit the vaults but I am in regular contact with people that do. You can actually see some of the bullion here: https://instagram.com/p/BV2Ujn4lrjk/

Awesome
nice post brother, and congo for winning 80+$. keep it up
Thanks
Yes, while keeping the savings in gold is the most reliable.
I 2nd that !
I see it more like. 4 tickets that equal approx 1/10th ounce gold coin delivered and in my hand is the best sure bet and a sure win for me..... "MY" hand instead of someone (whoknowswhos) vault.. I'll stack
after comparing the goldmoney was way ahead :)
Thanks, that how I feel :)
Fantastic post and awesome way to promote steemit
Resteem
Thank you!
Always prefer Gold Money. Only what matters is @goldmatter :D
Yes!!
Excellent post and congratulation for win 20$ friend...
Thank you!
How about flying to another planet to mine it?
Or
Using alchemy to turn lead into gold?
Both of those sound intriguing to me! :D
Here’s an oldie but a goody about some modern day alchemy. The Goldmoney platform has gone through an upgrade since this so this is just for historical interest : https://steemit.com/goldmoney/@goldmatters/turn-steem-into-gold
Steem > Lead. #BOOM
That was a good read! I'm sure all the kinks have since been worked out with this. This is good to know! :)
Thanks for your interest:) the platform has actually completely changed since... I will have to do an updated post at some point.
You're welcome! Let me know when the updated post is available! I am excited to read it!
Great post.........
Thanks
