Don't think its me, but I did 'win' £5.20 two weeks ago.


Is the same kind of 'win' people have when they get their money back
with a £2 win on a ticket costing £2?


yes in gambling any money you recieve is classed as a win and they can include that in the odds especailly with scratch cards if you buy a £2 card and win 50p that is classed as a win, and is included in the odds calculation which is why such things are classed as fixed odds.

I wonder if the odds on a win on lottery scratch cards stated as, say,
2.65:1 include those wins where the amount is equal or less then the
stake?


Yes they do, look in the T&Cs.
