Next time try using their universal language, tell him you think you have a winning ticket, but your not sure?

Guarantee he will understand! His eyes will light up like a Christmas tree, as he then prepares to scan the ticket, only to inform you it was a loser.

I buy my tix. for the whole week on tues.

Today on the way home from work i will buy a scratcher or 2 and watch if he scans the tix. after taking them from the display cabinet.

Maybe this how they know what winners have been sold

I'm hoping someone work closely with the lottery business can confirm this, because I just bought a scratcher and the prize claimed changed instantly. That was a month ago and I still haven't scratch the ticket because I'm out of country right now.

Even though they know where the winners are located, I don't think they ever post them as claimed unless someone shows up and claims the money. That's why some games close with unclaimed prizes even though they sold the ticket.

Can't trust Top prize reports. Never know when they put the tickets out. Was reading before this guy hit 1mill on june 21, claimed it june 26, and it was'nt announced until july27. Way too long. i'm adding hotel room.

I rarely buy scratchers, but when I do I 1st check the state website to see which ones have the most top prizes not yet won,

however if someone bought the big winner, but has yet to scratch or claim it,

can I rely on the site to know the ticket is no longer available ?

I picked in store.
