I give tips usually when I win but they aren't much, maybe $5.00 or $10.00. Somethimes I may even buy them a lottery ticket. My wife doesn't want me giving them a tip because she says it their job. Sometimes I call my numbers in especially if I'm at work and can't come play by the time they draw the numbers and I give them a tip. I had to explain to my wife that that isn't their job to do that, so they are going out of their way to accomodate me. Then she says, Well if they played your ticket

New York Lottery won't pay $25,000 for taped-up scratch-off ticketReply
I doubt the part of the story about the MACHINE tearing the ticket because if she bought $6 so 3 tkts came out, in order to have mismatching halves from 2 different tickets then at least 2 came out torn. Not sure how that would happen but maybe it could. It's also possible to pull it sideways when it is sticking 1/2 out. IN general I avoid those dispensers because the tickets are sometimes older ones where the top prizes might have been won already. I'd have gone to a manager immediately and sho

New York Lottery won't pay $25,000 for taped-up scratch-off ticketReply
I've got no problem believing her story (though I then have to assume she's not very bright), but that doesn't mean she's entitled to anything more than a new ticket even if she truly believes she has a winning ticket. She may be missing part of the ticket, but the barcode is enough to determine if it's a winner or not. As far as the other comment about trusting the computers, that's exactly how retailers validate tickets, and the scanner won't know that part of the ticket is missing. I'll note

New York Lottery won't pay $25,000 for taped-up scratch-off ticketReply
The lawsuit if not thrown out, will never be won. Time and time again, courts have upheld the notion that lotteries do not pay on non-winning, destroyed or altered tickets. I find the machine tore the ticket allegation to be suspect as well. Machines these days have bursters that press on the perforations between tickets - I don't think they could would cut through the middle of a ticket like that. What worries me most is the tone of the article. One of the main reasons Lot

$10 on each drawing or $100 on the next 10 drawingsReply
I have a set of my numbers that I've been playing every drawing for about 14 years. For those numbers I get the maximum advance plays, which here is limited to 10. I hardly ever win on these numbers. It's been several months since I even got the powerball. Then before each drawing I'll often go get a quick pick, which I only get for one draw. I hardly ever win on these numbers. It's been several months since I even got the powerball. In Idaho you can cash the advance play ticket i

Ever Voided a Winning TicketReply
That never happens in stores that sell lots of tickets or to clerks that understand what change the tape the means. I always look at it this way, if a clerk doesn't have enough common sense to put in a new tape when the machine instructs them to, how could they know if an unreadable ticket was any good or not. It shouldn't be necessary to tell the clerk to void an unreadable ticket if you don't pay for it. To Tweetietoo: All I can say is, gawd.

Indiana Lottery finds $13,000 mistakeReply
I wonder... ... how many of those winning tickets from June 23rd are still around, most of them I'm sure have been trashed. ...how many of those ticket holders relied on the machine to tell them if they won. ...who brought this error to their attention, probably someone who checks their own ticket and knew that they were a winner.
