Vending machine or counter tickets??
Just a random post....I really like scratch-offs I buy them in pensacola fl. and moss point ms. Mainly from the counter. Does anyone ever buy from the vending machine and have better luck?

Lottery vending machine
Never encountered this before, put dollar bills in for ticket cost, machine gobbled up the play slip. This machine has gobbled up currency before but a play slip? So I just hit the button for a QP for the same game, first two numbers were the same as those on the play slip.

This stupid useless store doesn't sell any tickets in person. They only sell tickets at the vending machine.

A $1.00 balance left in the lottery vending machine when I approached it . I bought a one dollar ticket.

Are you playing Mega Millions with the $5.00 per play?Reply
Well, apparently Idahoans haven't cut back on lottery due to price increases. The small Fred Meyer I go to just installed a THIRD vending machine. It's a small enough store that they only carry about 75% of the products the other stores in town do. So I bought my MM for tomorrow night from the new machine and got a 10X. Just the 10X feels like good luck, so we'll see if it holds.

I don't see how a vending machine problem is the retailers responsibility. A vending machine is a way for a store o sell tickets and collect the commission without paying an employee. Why shouldn't equipment the store uses to take your money be the store's responsibility? Lottery retailer responsibilities. This is per Fla, I would assume other states have more or less the same rules and regs. https://www.law.cornell.edu/regulations/florida/Fla-Admin-Code-Ann-R-53ER24-36#:~:text

I had a similar run-in with a vending machine in PA last spring. I'd put in $20 and got $12 in tickets out when it suddenly rebooted. In PA, the vending machines are just giant tablets, so I'm standing there looking at a blank gray screen with the operating system starting to load. I turned around and gave the lady behind the counter a WTH look and she said, Yeah, it's been acting weird all morning. Would've been good to know that BEFORE I put my money in. Of course I didn't say that because I'm

I have had lottery vending machines take my money before and the store I was at usually fixed the problem by either giving me scratch offs from the counter or giving me my money back. That isn't something the lottery handles, it should be the store with the vending machine fixing it. They are operating it and not some representative from the state lottery. The employee where you went didn't want to deal with it, you should have asked to speak to a manager.

I've used a lottery vending machine in Colorado but I only play QP. The screen has number buttons on it if the player wishes to choose the numbers. I don't think it will accept play slips but the next time I use one, I'll check it out.
