I stumbled across a betting technique that's put a smile on my face but not in the way you'd expect. Might be a fluke, but I thought I'd pass it along here in case somebody else wants to try it. Find one of the full service lottery vending machines that prints out Fast Play and draw game tickets. You'll want something in a not-too-busy store because you'll be on the machine for a couple minutes. I fill out my betting slips in advance and put a couple dollars more in the machine than the bet

Arizona Lottery bans Fast Play bulk ticket purchasesReply
AZ has no rules to prevent a buyout of the Pick6 or Fantasy5 AZ lotteries, where the jackpot estimate is published. Only a few Fast Play games have progressive jackpots, and in those games, the jackpots aren't published (at least, they don't show up on the arizonalottery.com website) , and play numbers/symbols are machine chosen and not player chosen. Since Fast Play buyouts only make sense when the jackpot estimate is known, and when the number of tickets purchased give a high enough e

CT Lottery app mistakenly identified winning tickets as losersReply
PA Fast Play (NJ is likely similar) is basically an electronic instant ticket. It appears, at least in PA, Fast Play tickets are divided into blocks (akin to packs) of 1,000. When one buys a Fast Play ticket, the order of winners and losers has already been determined, just like playing instant tickets. The difference is the print on demand part, and that others elsewhere can buy from the same block; one may be able to game that a little during slow sales periods (ie. late at night). Rambling

Lottery Complaint Investigators don't investigate anythingReply
Buying any type of instant lottery game (ie. EZ Match, Fast Play, etc), in which the play area is fully visible, from a retailer is very risky. Always buy such tickets from a machine or subscription. Pennsylvania Lottery introduced Fast Play several months ago so I gave it a try. Usually I play at self-service machines, but also bought some from some small mom pop convenience stores. In some of those instances, it was clear the retailer was looking at the tickets. Fortunately, in my case, I w
