Take5 NYReply
One of those 7 other lines that I don't feel like typing had three numbers on it! So I'm $21.50 richer. And it feels good too because I haven't hit T5 for money in a dog's age. I hit C4L for 25 bucks a month or so ago, but I haven't hit for $$ playing T5 since I dunno when. Imagine that! I bought 10 QP's out of a vending machine and hit three numbers. I track the T5 numbers every day, I do all this analysis , I can tell you all about what the numbers did or didn't do in the past, and I cant h

I'm done playing the lotteryReply
I don't see how a vending machine problem is the retailers responsibility. A vending machine is a way for a store o sell tickets and collect the commission without paying an employee. Why shouldn't equipment the store uses to take your money be the store's responsibility? Lottery retailer responsibilities. This is per Fla, I would assume other states have more or less the same rules and regs. https://www.law.cornell.edu/regulations/florida/Fla-Admin-Code-Ann-R-53ER24-36#:~:text

I'm done playing the lotteryReply
I had a similar run-in with a vending machine in PA last spring. I'd put in $20 and got $12 in tickets out when it suddenly rebooted. In PA, the vending machines are just giant tablets, so I'm standing there looking at a blank gray screen with the operating system starting to load. I turned around and gave the lady behind the counter a WTH look and she said, Yeah, it's been acting weird all morning. Would've been good to know that BEFORE I put my money in. Of course I didn't say that because I'm

Lp Link to other places to buy lottery tickets?Reply
All Publix supermarkets offer lottery terminal games, scratch and most have a vending machine that sells scratch and QPs. WinnDixie supermarkets also offer a lottery terminal and scratch, no vending machine. Enjoy your visit to this side of the Mason Dixon Line. BobP Not all angels have wings, some have whiskers.

Hi-tech lottery vending machines- what's your take?
My good ol' Meijer (a Michigan-made Walmart with more focus on grocery) recently installed a hi-tech touchscreen lottery vending machine. When I bought my Mega Millions ticket, it got one number right (70) out of the entire MM number. However it was HORRIBLE at $1 scratch-offs! Very lucky and reliable, or does man (with help from the register) triumph over vending machine?

Michigan Lottery cracks down on retailers who cheat customersReply
The KY Lottery has vending machines so player/clerk interactions should be for cashing tickets, but some of the machines have bad play slip readers bringing it back to square one. What's even worse some clerks won't give credit for the money players put into the machines. A clerk told me their vending machine reader was working but gave me a hard time after I found out the hard way it wasn't. And while I was telling him what happened a female player tried to purchase scratch-offs on the money I

California Scratcher results pics suggested AReply
oops I did it again. i spent more than i planned and failed to use any strategy, just impulse buying, with terrible results. yesterday evening I went to one of my locations I'll call location #1 a drugstore vending machine with a hi ticket turnover. The machine goes throught a 20$ pack of 30 tickets every 3 days while location #2 of the same drugstore will take 2 months to sell a 30 ticket pack. I purchased two extreme green #13 and #12 both losers. then I bought two max million #6 and #7 bot

A crazy lottery storyReply
I've been in at least one store in PA that only had a vending machine. Since it was a chain store I'm figuring that's likely to be the case in many, or perhaps even all, of their stores. Pretty sure it was a Wawa. I've used vending machines a few times, but not all that many. I've always gotten my tickets, but I had to get an employee to help once because the machine took my $2 and then wouldn't read my bet slip. As a rough guess that means a failure rate of perhaps 10% for my experience with

Where is your favorite spots for purchasing lottery tickets?Reply
There are several places I buy from, but I don't really have a favorite. I buy some of them at a locally owned convenience store that's just around the corner from my home, some from supermarkets, occasionally from a vending machine in a supermarket which is the only lottery vending machine in my city, and a couple of other convenience stores that are on my work commute. I don't really have a favorite place.

It seems like I have to continue to fight the urge to buy scratch ticketsReply
Hi dk1421, Congrats on your win of 2 dollars that's good with just 5 dollars spent. I like your playing strategy of not buying scratch tickets if they do not have the exact one you want. Like yourself I also check my state's lottery website to check on the odds of the remaining tickets and to check when the new ones are coming out. I rarely buy scratch tickets from the vending machine. Though the first time I ever used a vending machine I won 100 dollars on a 5 dollar scratch ticket. It seems
