Post your scratch ticket resultsReply
Finally had some PA luck. the guy who hit $3Million hit $500 on the ticket that I played, mine was in a different bin though, so I got skunked yesterday.. today was better. Saw the new $30 was on 013 and grabbed it. It hit $300. Had a feeling about Gold Rush and went back later to grab one from the machine. It was 008 and it hit $100. On the way home I was still feeling Gold Rush. Stopped at a local place and couldn't tell the #. Had her grab me one and it was 013. well that one hit for $1000 wh

Kansas lawmakers considering lottery vending machinesReply
All in favor of self service lottery machines. Love them in Kentucky and am biased since they are IGT machines. Now on to Indiana where our Mega Millions ticket was purchased a couple of hours ago...time to win. Not to forget about Powerball, she was bought too. (never seen a self service machine in Indiana come to think of it).

Florida Scratch Offs - Post Pictures if posibleReply
Thanks Dracos! Things were looking bleak and I usually play in the middle of the week but something kept nagging at me to go ahead and try one more Gold Rush. I stood by the machine for quite awhile (while some guy stood by watching and waiting to see what I was going to play--annoying isn't it)? So I put the money in and lo and behold one of my hated numbers. Well I didn't hate it when I hit the hundo on it, lol. Saved my butt today. I'm updating my numbers today and looks like there are other

Have you ever had a questionable experience at the ticket-checking machine? Have you ever discarded a winning scratcher unintentionally, or suspect this has ever happened to you? Or do you feel like there was ever the opportunity for a dishonest clerk to pull a fast one on you? [Me]: I have witnessed a ticket-checker display that a non-winning scratcher had a prize on it while I was scanning multiple scratchers. The machine gave me the indication it had acknowledged the n

Anyone here play slots?Reply
Well I just got back from spirit mountain casino and I managed to not lose all my money. I ate breakfast at the buffet and then we hit fu do lee for $.88 bet and got the bonus for $35 so I took the ticket out. Next we went to wicked winnings III and I lost $25 in that machine betting $.50 so I went into rapid riches. Found a machine called lucky lemians and bet a $1 at first got the bonus for $14 and then decided to bet $4 max bet. Well I lost $120 before the last spin and got the rapid riches b

Woman denied $43 million jackpot, offered steak dinner insteadReply
I thought this story might get a considerable amout of attention. Great Job to Todd and the LP staff for the swift and accurrate verification, edition and release of this story. Heres my take. The machine is only designed to pay out $6500 bucks. if it was a machine malfuction. ok... however, she oviously did nothing to envoke that malfuction. so she is not to blame. who's to say that the machine didn't malfuction after winning a jackpot? if the sof

Scratch offs thrown in the trash...Reply
Lol. Glad i am not the only trash picker. I dont think that a lot of store customers know what i am doing. I find way more torn up tickets. Some i can piece together. I cannot imagine how many are winners. I bought a ticket and since it was a word one i just scratched the scan code and it said it was a non winner. So when itried to enter it second chance it would not go in. So it turned out to be a 10.00 winner. Now I know never to trust those vending machine scanners or any scanners. So many pe

Lottery Vending MachineReply
In NY, I have not seen any of the vending machine requiring to scan your license. I had stopped at a truck stop in CT once and I had to scan my license with that lottery vending machine. It does cut down on underage ticket buying, but it probably varies from state to state.

Losing faith in lottery, dismayed at what I'm seeing in AmericaReply
Destiny creation Is right. Scratch offs typically have a little over or a little under 50% payout back to the buyer. Trust me I know. I use to go through 3 full packs at a time. The numbers game costs a lot less with a lot more promise back. If you can't think about it just buy quick picks, don't look at them, and just scan them in the machine at the store. If it says sorry not a winner etc, just throw the ticket away, and do it again if you feel like. That way less drama. and less all that othe

What are the chances ...Reply
I had a previous ticket that I played on mm and a few weeks later the numbers came out on pb. It can happen. I've gone up to the machine before putting money in and realizing one time that I hit 8 draws by accident and saying oh crap I need $100 more to put in. Forget to take a picture on my phone with the numbers I wanted to play and starting over.
