My guess is they are about to be sued by wronged players.

The CT lottery has already said they're going to honor both sets of winners. That means the people who still have their tickets and win in the second chance will get their prizes. The people who don't win in the second chance are what we call losers and don't deserve any prizes.

Anyone who threw out their ticket because they didn't win in the first drawing will be in a lousy position to sue. Without a ticket they'll find it very di... [ More ]

Just because they only joined LP in November, doesn't mean they haven't been playing for years or even decades.

Players of a special New Year's lottery raffle game in Connecticut may be out of luck if they tossed their tickets, after officials disclosed they need to hold a new drawing after 100,000 eligible tickets were mistakenly disregarded Monday.

My guess is they are about to be sued by wronged players. They might want to set aside some money for the lawsuits.

Our goal, first and foremost, is to make our players whole.

How do you plan to do that when you said that people who... [ More ]

Anybody who throws their losing lottery tickets away probably shouldn't play the lottery. I always save my losing tickets and crunch numbers during the New Year for personal knowledge and tax write-off.

The lottery is working towards a fair resolution . They accept accountability.

Only downside is the one player suggesting they be allowed to re buy entirely new tickets. Have they forgotten the lottery collected during the first glitch? Thereby a whole new buy in would mean double the collected funds? Not sure the player thought that idea thru.

For entertain purposes only :

Hold all of my tickets for quite a while - well given that you joined in November, that quite a while is a lil over a month's worth..right

That's an awfully round number of tickets to exclude.

I wonder if somebody just fat-fingered the keyboard and had the computer select winning tickets between 200,001 to 375,000 or 100,001 to 275,000 instead of the correct 100,001 to 375,000 range that the tickets were assigned. The second one seems especially plausible if the person entering the numbers knew they had sold 275,000 tickets.

While that would be a simple and logical explanation, the really troubling part is how they'd fail to... [ More ]

Right. I wonder what happened to that error of a human? Was he or she canned? After all, players lost their money, which at this point, is irretrievable

WOW! That's a lot of Tickets to Exclude from the Drawing

This is one reason I hold all of my tickets for quite a while.

But they really should be able to do this without screwing up.

Am I really reading all these lottery screw-ups correctly? It is the 21st Century and all these 'mistakes' make me think a third world country in the control booth.

Sure glad that the so called human error is happening East of the Rockies! Let them do their test runs to clear up that mess. The rest of the country will be grateful, knowing that they ran the gauntlet in making sure this doesn't happen to other lotteries across the nation. The players back there would agree, that the State lottery needs to do More than simply dust itself off.
