EXCLUSIVE: Weeks-long computerized draw error prevented many DC Lottery tickets from winning a prizeReply
It was but it wasn't so in state u spend $252 and get back $425. Online u spend $252 and get back $750 but online numbers were sold out from the night before. Same in store with many of the numbers so you could be stuck out there not having every combination. Even b.s #'s sold out 24679. Many of us couldn't even take advantage you hadnumbers sold out 3-4 draws in advance. You only see that with quads and quints and 12345 not 47836 life wtf is that number being sold out.

Colorado bill would ban credit card lottery ticket purchases and online salesReply
The only reason a state would ban online lottery sales is to protect convenience stores. Those huge chain stores have equally large political lobbying efforts, and now you know why online sales get banned. All the reasons the politicians state are the best fiction they can come up with. The real reason is money and power. (This is also why the carve-out for courier services is OK with them. It doesn't harm their political supporters, because the couriers buy from physical stores.)

UK lottery winner misses claims deadline for £10.6 million jackpotReply
Just based on the size of the prize alone, it's uncommon for a jackpot to go unclaimed, especially since wins that are attached to online purchased can be traced to player accounts, therefore making it easier for Lottery officials to track down winners. I cannot comprehend this, especially it being an online purchase. My thoughts are that the winner died or ended up in prison where they don't have access to personal emails, I don't know.

There is so much wrong with the Texas lottery I'm in favor of doing away with it. Get rid of it and get on to something better like bingo(not the online crap), where you can see who you are playing with and see who wins!

UK lottery winner misses claims deadline for £10.6 million jackpotReply
That's the harsh reality of the UK's 180-day claim window, strict from the October 4 draw date right up to April 2, and now that 10.6m heads straight to good causes instead. Makes Dave's Waking Ned Devine reference hit even harder, since real-life tragedies like sudden death do explain a chunk of these unclaimed jackpots. Subscribing online like dannyct mentioned is smart insurance here, as it auto-claims everything without the ticket risk.
