Four4me, I agree. Tclix should have taken it to the main lottery office as the agents suggested, but either Tclix didn't take the advice or he/she wasn't interested in sharing the out come of the dvent which makes me to think that some facts were left out of the original post. Tclix hasn't posted anything in the two weeks since.

Tclix never mentioned if he tried to redeem the ticket at the same place he purchased it. Because of thieves stealing scratch-off tickets at one store and taking them to another store to cash them in, some stores will not cash in scratch-off tickets they didn't sell, the ticket owner would have to go to a lottery office to confirm it was a legal ticket.RJOh

I guess we'll never know the out come to this. I would like to know if this person actually followed up on it. Maybe it was a big winner. Possible it was a bad print job. More than likely that's what happened. The prize amount could be printed wrong on the ticket. The bar code on the scratch off suggests that it was a big payout since the lottery retailers wouldn't cash it. In either case I think that the lottery officials don't have to pay out on misprinted tickets. they will redeem it for the... [ More ]

I'd check with the Printer Vendor for the State first. They are the one's who are liable and have the most to lose. They might pay more! Not to re-print and return payment to the State if discovered. hmmmmm

i would think the computer at the store should print out the value of the ticket. in ohio they can print winner up to 5,000.they give you a claim sheet and have designated banks to cash them at. after 5,000 you have to turn it in at a regional office. maybe the ticket was a multiply (lucky times 10 ) or some sort.mesaw

totally agree, i'd treat this ticket with extra 'tlc' until the lottery office tells you exactly what it's worth ...based on the response from those three lottery terminals.

color=#800080TxLottery: Claim Center Locations there are claim centers all over texas that will cash up to$999,999If they have printed out bad tickets I think they would stop sales of the tickets immediately. I went to the Texas website and checked out there scratch off games. you only have to match one number to win the prize if the stores you tried to cash it say you have to go to one the main claim centers then. That's what you should do get your prize and be happy if you ride there and there... [ More ]

No it deffently says $100. Seems like this ticket would be worth a good bit to them just to keep it quiet. Anybody heard of this before. Makes me think that maybe a missprinted ticket could be a top winner not say so on the ticket you throw it away not knowing it is a winner. I had this ticket valadated at three different places and they all said it was worth to much to cash at a local store. Every time it says claim at lottery . I sent pictures of it to the lottery. If I had a way I would
