Post your scratch ticket resultsReply
I was playing one ticket which ended up a loser and was ready to buy another one of the same and this woman sees me scratching it and looks right at it and me and proceeds to buy the same ticket from the same machine, mind you there are three machines in a row and like six slots of $30 tickets. so she snipes it and leaves the store. I didn't say a thing but was like what the heck, so i'm thinking it's a new book so if she didn't get the winner the third ticket might be a good one, and it was

Curious about Quick PicksReply
SkyLine69, when people tell you to eliminate a quick pick number, is because you all ready have that, if it one of your picks to play for that day, then you invest a little more on that quick pick number. Other wise move on to the other numbers you like for that day. Now, as far as pick a scratch offs by zip code. You're about to really tick- off some Retailer, big time! Think about it. The average store has about 50 or more scratch off ticket usually in a case on the counter, about 20 others be

What do you do if you have a winning lottery ticket?
I mean, of course you go claim it but I want to know where I'm going to put all the money IF I win the mega millions. Do I have to have a bank account ready to put all the money in? OR, do I claim the prize as soon as I find out that I won? I'm just dreaming right now and I'm just wondering what I would do if I won the lottery. Should I sign the back of the lottery ticket? BTW, I don't care if people know I won the lottery, so I don't need to do the steps to make sure I'm anonymous.

Warning about the lotto vending machines, Illinois LotteryReply
Yes live clerks make mistakes too. Even if I just want a QP sometimes they'll print the wrong game, or if I want 5 they print 10. At least then you can choose not to buy the tickets, unlike when you get them from the machine, but I have to buy them anyway. It used to happen quite often that a ticket left behind with the clerk turned out to be the winner, and I'd kill myself if that happened to me. I haven't heard it happening much in the last few years, but still . . . I have to buy the ticket n

Warning about the lotto vending machines, Illinois Lottery
Hi Folks, I just have a warning about the lottery vending machines. I used one about a month ago, for the Illinois lottery jackpot, during the transaction, for 5 quick picks, the machine ran out of paper and did not give a ticket, nor did it give the money back, or add any credit back. Its been impossible to obtain a refund, the store says its not their machine plus they have a strict no refunds on lottery policy and to call the number on the back of the ticket, which I have made repeated

Its official, powerball matrix change coming this octoberReply
Bye, bye Powerball, I'm very disappointed in the matrix change. I was winning little prizes occasionally buying five tickets for each draw with the Powerplay. Just this past month I hit the Powerball red ball 3 times out of 4, unfortunately one (no payoff) or no other winning numbers came out with them. No way will I spend 3 dollars (or more) on PB tickets with less chance of winning the big one. Actually, I really played focusing on winning the second prize, but with the increase in white balls

Georgia Lottery Scratch OffsReply
Scored another $500 on Cash Spectacular today from the same Publix! I know I was supposed to break but I am a sucker for a fresh roll! I actually almost missed out on it. I bought #009 and it was a free ticket. The cashier asked did i want another and I said no opting on a Caesars instead. I also bought a Cash Spectacular from the machine. Both lost. I bought another Cash Spec and a couple $5 tickets. THe Giant Jumbo won $20 and the $5 Monopoly lost and the Cash Spec was a dud. 3 Cash Specs late

New York: 4/1 - 4/30/2015Reply
The NYL gives an agent a lottery machine, bet slips etc etc etc and the agent is required to pay out up to $600 dollars on any winning ticket, if over $600 the winner must go to their local Lottery HQ's which is Schenectady up my way. The agent can tell you to come back later in the day to cash your ticket that is fine. No agent can post a sign saying it can only cash a $20 winner that is BS. Any player can call 518 388-3300 to turn in an agent who is not paying out a winning ticket. The NYL has

Kind of weird, lottery machineReply
I used to not like those machines, either, but I've found several gas stations in my area have their lottery machines out of view when you're in line. (They have to step over to the side where you can't see them because they're behind merchandise, etc.) On two separate occasions, I have had clerks give me mistakes (that were printed hours earlier). Once, I even had a clerk cash an instant winner before I even saw the ticket. (I was doing a Fantasy 5 with the Easy Match; you pay an extra dollar f

Cash 3/Pick 3 Lotto Winners
Has anyone ever purchased a Cash 3/Pick 3 Lotto ticket by filling out the slip with one set of numbers(such as 2-6-9 straight) and apply that to Panel A through Panel E with the same numbers. In addition, if those winning numbers(straight) pop out for a total of $2500.00, would anyone be willing to use those same repeated numbers by spending $20.00(using the same 5 paneled marked card 4 times into the machine to provide the player with 4 tickets that has 5 sets of the same numbers on each ticket
