Funny Scratch off tip story.Reply
You're spot on LONERANGER ! Why tip a person who hands you a ticket you just bought with your own money ? They had nothing to do with the prize if any that's there. If you bought it from the machine then who do you tip ? Now, if a clerk give you some hot skinny - like buy that ticket there - one guy just went through 10 duds and the next should be a winner. Then and only then would I give him/her a tip if it's a winner. SO why not have an agreement - if the ticket you said is good is a dud, t

No, it is not an option, it is the preferred way the lottery wants it done. Every Publix store where I shop has a sign on the Lottery machine that states, Please fill out Play Slips. There is an older person that comes in the store and I think his eyesight is bad. He is the only person, who plays a lot of numbers, calls them off to the teller. I don't object to that, but when I see a young whippersnapper calling off numbers and keeps screwing up the numbers. Then the clerk has to keep re-enterin

10 Pennsylvania co-workers share $2 million Powerball prizeNews Story
Maybe there was a glare on the machine, and maybe Stacia Thomas just didn't think it possible. The Red Lion woman scanned her ticket and stared at the prize line on the Pennsylvania Lottery machine. She thought it listed $2,000, so she asked a clerk at the Sunoco A-Plus Market to read the amount for her. $2 million. Yes, that really happens. 'Oh, my God, I gotta go tell the girls!' Thomas recalled yelling before rushing back across the street to the office at Industrial Distribution Gr

What is the best way to win the lottery?Reply
So does luck have anything to do with it? I'd say that luck has everything to do with it. Say you are one of the 70-80% of people who buy a quick pick. You have to be lucky enough to walk into the right store to buy a ticket before a winning draw at the right time that the machine is getting ready to spit out the winning combination. A few minutes or a few miles can make all the differnce in the world. So who decides who gets that winning ticket? Luck, that's who.

Redeeming a Bag of Found Scratchers
JACKPOT!!! haha, or most likely not. I was gassing up this morning at a gas station in Santa Monica CA. and was throwing something away when i saw sticking out of the trash can, a bag of receipts and that had already been scratched off. After further glance, i found out that all the scratchers in the bag, almost 40 were all winners. Now, i may be a sucker for a slot machine but even i know this seems too good to be true. I counted them all and it adds up to almost $400. On some of them, the bar

New tickets aren't any better. I was checking my tickets from Thursday at the machine. Guy buys 000 of the $20 ticket. I then buy 1 of each of the new ones. They all lost. I decide I am going to buy 5 of the $20's and leave. I am at the ATM and the guy returns throwing away ticket 000 outside(maybe I should have grabbed it)... He then gets 002 and I get 003-007 and walk out. I call back to the store to ask if he won on 002 and he said no and he lost on 2 more. I am thinking that means 10 tota

Last night I bought a $5 Poker ticket (#59) which lost so I bought 2 more (#58-57) and #57 won $5. I cashed that and got another 1 at a different store (was #20) and it lost. Before that I had gone to the grocery store and the machine had some kind of bill acceptor error so I couldn't buy any tickets. There were like 6 scratched tickets someone discarded so I took those to key in for reward points. It turns out the $10 Twisted Bingo one I had was a $100 winner. I was wondering if it had

Cash 4LifeReply
I just came home and my last stop was a store where I decided to buy another $10 CFL to get the free ticket. I filled out the slip and got the ticket but no freebie. I pulled out the ticket I had previously purchased with $10 worth of CFL along with the free CFL and showed the counter person who had no answer as to why I didn't get a free ticket this time or why I got one the previous time. I stopped at another store and they said that randomly a machine will kick out a free ticket on its own???

Purchasing a ticketReply
Problem with that is you have to carry the dang slip with you. I never have a pocket or whatever big enough to carry it. But I have the same problem as the OP. Just recently I asked for 5 Powerballs, no multiplier. The guy handed me a ticket with one line, good for the next 5 draws! WTH! I refused it and he got me the right ticket. So then I had to pay attention to the next 5 draws to see if any tickets sold here won big. LOL Luckily the biggest one sold was just a 4 + 0, so if that ticket di

Purchasing a ticket
I always play MM and PB with the extra dollar. I ask for a power play and a megaplier. More than 75% of te time the clerk gets it wrong and gives me the lower cost/ lower payout ticket. This drives me crazy. Why can't they get it right? What am I saying wrong. I hate having to fill in a play sheet for a quick pick. And of course I then end up spending more money by re-purchasing the same numbers that came out but with the multiplier. And I know it is probably against the rules but many times
