Woman sues casino that offered her steak dinner instead of $43 million jackpotReply
Anyone who played slot machines or any lottery game knows you can't win $43 million betting a penny. The machine in the selfie says the machine is printing cash ticket for $43 million and please remove ticket . Had she simply removed the $43 million ticket and if the selfie actually showed the winning combination, she would have a much better case.

California gas station manager allegedly kept winning lottery scratchersReply
At least the instant ticket seller had to put some effort into it. Was a time in Pennsylvania, and presumably in other states that used similar systems, the ticket serial number was plainly visible - no scratching needed / no security codes. All the ticket seller had to do was enter that number, and the terminal would tell them if it was a winner. It became a widespread and publicized problem. Eventually, most lotteries switched to tickets with additional, covered security codes (and later, the

Ca Lottery - shame on themReply
According to what he said at the press conference interview he didn't realize he had the jackpot winning ticket even after using a ticket scanner because all the machine said was, see clerk. I guess he didn't put 2 and 2 together and realize the reason the machine told him to see the clerk was the ticket was very important.

Lets get a better understanding of what actually wins! PowerballReply
$5 quick pick on the same ticket is the way to go.If you read the stories of most mega millions and powerball winners, they have won with a $5 quick pick. Whenever you buy $10, $20, $40 and $50 quick picks. the tickets are printed on $5 quick pick tickets. i know that some mega millions and powerball states print $10 on a single ticket.but you can always ask the clerk to push the $5 button on the machine twice to get two $5 tickets quick pick instead of a $10 on one ticket.By the way in new york

Verifying California Lottery WinnersReply
Driveabizness....here is what I think happens in California, do you agree? Self Check: these devices display something like: Congratulations, Winner See Retailer. They do not, if I recall correctly, give an amount, just that you have a winning ticket. I think this is what you meant about inquiring without validating. Retailer Check: the retailer runs the ticket through the standard lottery machine. There is, or should be, a window where the customer can see what the machine displays

I Cannot Believe This Happened- AGAIN!
I like to scratch tickets and do so on a regular basis getting my fair share of decent winners. I have yet to encounter that truly life-changing ticket. My biggest win so far has been 10K and I have had one 5K win and a bunch of 2K and 1K's as well so yes, obviously I play quite a bit! For the last three weeks I have been doing my weekly grocery shopping at the local Market Basket. After going through the checkout I wander over to the scratch ticket vending machine, slide in my $20 and purcha

Sheesh! What a stroker!
(I'm using stroker here to describe a very rude player) Mrs Coin gave me a couple of bucks today to get her a couple of scratchers from the machine at a grocery store. Ther's a woman in front of me. She stickes her money in the machine, gets a ticket, doesn't even atempt to move, and scratches the ticket right then and there, blocking anyone else from getting to the machine. She does this three times - then she gets a ticket and goes a few feet away to scratch it at the service coun

Do FL scratch off vending machines dispense randomly?Reply
depends on the store - they can put tickets in the machine from highest to lowest - lowest to highest - and at the counter as well - they will sometimes 'scotch tape' the first ticket from the next roll in the machine to the last ticket for a steady flow of tickets- so in your case the last two tickets 001 then 000 ended that roll and the next new roll (scotch taped) started with ticket 029 - if you bought the next two you would get 028, 027 Publix store manager told me they start with highes

Georgia Lottery Scratch OffsReply
Had to pickup dinner last night and needed to play cash 3 and cash 4. There were several stores near where I was going but I couldn't decide which one since I thought maybe I will buy a ticket or 2. Ultimately I decided on a QT because I typically don't buy tickets from there which is what I am trying not to do. I filled out my ticket and proceeded to the machine as they have one of those full serve vending machines. Well I wanted to play 2222 and 4444 in cash 4 but they were sold out. So with t
