Hey Todd how are you doing A couple of years ago I came across a person selling tickets for different states at a lottery machine. Is that legal now and do they still have it . I was in New Jersey when I saw it as I used to live there It might of been about 12 years ago not sure how long ago it was. Also on online buying tickets what percentage do you usually pay back if you get a winning number Thanks Great website here

Todd, no harm done my friend. I really am asking because I want your opinion. I spent $100 dollars today at playlot.com based on what you had to say. I was merely curious, thats all.

Oh, I see you got that from where I said that they could cash the ticket and move to the bahamas. I was merely replying to the fact that ThinkBig said that they didnt respond when asked about the Delaware question. I'm not implying anything, nor did I fabricate any story.Jesus H Christ. I only posed this question out of curiosity, as I said before. Are we not allowed to discuss these things here? It was merely a hypotethical situation.

Uhh, Todd, I think we have a misunderstanding. Where did I say that PlayLot was stealing a lottery ticket? I already said I was doing business with them.

ThinkBig: Lottery Universe doesn't buy tickets - they run their own private lottery, and hoodwink you into thinking you're playing the lottery. Regardless of the size of the jackpot, they state right in their terms and conditions that the largest payout you would ever receive is $1 million. It is an illegal enterprise and criminally deceptive.ntjones: I don't think it's right that you fabricate some kind of story about PlayLot stealing a lottery ticket. They have proven to be a very honest co... [ More ]

I thought that if you used PLAYLOT that you kept ALL of the lottery money. The only thing PLAYLOT does is charge you double the cost of the ticket because they charge for their administrative fees. PLAYLOT also will allow winners not be exploited via their website if they chose not to and will even help you claim your prize.Did you know that if you buy Mega Millions tickets they are routed to the state of Maryland (which does allow you to remain anonymous, for the most part.) And if you play Po... [ More ]

Most jackpots, the store that sells the winning ticket gets something, often tens of thousands of dollars. It is an incentive to stay honest as millions pass through your hands. In the case of playlot they need a share in the ticket to cash it for you, this allows them to act on your behalf. Not all of theses services are legitimate and could cost you the prize if they go about collecting it wrong.This is very different from a service that banks the bet rather then making it,in the expectation

I've been reading through a lot of old posts about buying tickets online, and I had a couple questions:1. One older post mentioned a services link on the left hand side of the page, but that doesn't seem to exist now. Are the ones under Click a Game to Play the only (reputable) places now?2. I THANKFULLY read a lot of the bad reviews regarding Lottery Universe, and did end up using the end recommended playlot.com. One question did pop into my head...I know that the largest jackpot you can win... [ More ]
