Clerk's lottery ticket error wins woman $1 millionNews Story
Pamela Ivey won $1 million in the Mega Millions multi-state lottery after a store clerk accidentally added the game's multiplier feature to her ticket, which quadruples the amount the player can win. Ivey, who bought the ticket in Georgetown, Ky., didn't ask for the Megaplier, which doubled the price of her ticket from $5 to $10, but she took it anyway. I glanced at her name tag and it said Susan and I thought, 'Oh Susan, don't do that to me,' Ivey said. The usual winnings for the seco

Illinois Lottery: Beware the Ides of March?
We stopped at a Shell station to play a ticket today and the clerk said, I've never seen this, the terminal says, Encryption error. So we waited a minute and then it came back on and took a playslip for Lotto (Pick 6). Then my wife had a scratcher to cash and it was back to Encryption error and didn't come back up. So on the way home we stopped at another place, same story, and that clerk says, I've never seen this before. So I'm wondering if: A lot of people were playing 315 (The

ARKANSAS LOTTERY DRAWINGS TO BE COMPUTERIZEDReply
California is already computerized, with the exception of SuperLotto Plus. California had one of the worst computerized drawing errors ever officially recorded, and sold tickets with no chance of winning for several months. The game was Daily Derby, and if you had certain Race Times, you could not win because the computer programming error excluded certain times from ever being drawn . (I use that term lightly, because in a computer there is no drawing -- simply a grouping of numbers

Many lottery Web sites offlineReply
I hear you, but I don't think that was it. (The sites are up now.) That was not an error related to volume, and the Powerball site rarely succumbs to volume, even when the jackpot is at record levels. That's because it is a simple static web site, unlike something like Lottery Post, which has an enormous amount of processing that takes place for every single page view. (For this reason, it is a much more challenging task for me to make Lottery Post resistant to volume issues than it is for th

A Question for EVERYONEReply
thanks time for the reply there are a total of 49 buttons in eacg basket. actually labled 1-49, I think you get the picture. each has 6 numbers that are drawn, each event is completely seperate from the other. yet each produces the same pattern like this example 1st basket 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10 11 12 13 14 15 16 17 18 19 20 21 22 23 24 25 26 27 28 29 30 31 32 33 34 35 36 37 40 41 42 43 44 45 naturally the numbers are only for example, they are not th

What would you do in this situation?Reply
There's a substantial difference between a clerk using the betslip you filled out to print a 2nd ticket, and somebody else independently choosing the same numbers by sheer coincidence. If a clerk makes a mistake of any kind the customer isn't responsible. If you choose to buy a pre-printed ticket you have no reasonable expectations about it, except that it is a valid ticket. There's always the possibility that a court could rule that the store wasn't entitled to sell it to you if the person who

Does $9 goof point to larger problems with Ontario Lottery?Reply
I wish to make two points. First in reference to the question why does the retailer not simply scan the ticket to determine it is a winner. The procedure for redeeming a scratch ticket in Ontario is a two step process. First the retailer scans the tickets then is prompted by the terminal to enter the 4 digit code that appears under the latex. The 4 digit code must correspond to the scanned code (long code). For this code to be entered in error and also match the scanned code and come up a win

Calif. Lottery misprint leaves 'winners' with nothingReply
Good lord, what a bunch of whiny cry babies. It's too bad that some people drove to a claims office, and I think they should get something better than a simple replacement ticket, but it seems that most people here are missing a number of things, the most important of which is that those people didn't buy winning tickets. They didn't buy winning tickets that the lottery said were losers in order to avoid paying, they bought losing tickets that looked like winning tickets, because of the printi
