Even at a glance, the purchaser knows that wasn't what he asked for. But then he tells the clerk he wants the same thing for Powerball. Why would he want the same thing for Powerball when the clerk had already messed up the Mega millions ticket? The answer is simple. He thought the clerk had m

SC Lottery not paying winnings on game because of 'programming error'Reply
l was thinking, about this... Coggins knew she was on to something when she bought a Holiday Cash ticket, and paid an extra dollar to add a play. Coggins won. I was happy, she said. I was excited. I was calling everyone I knew, 'I won $500.' To test her luck, Coggins bought another ticket. And it was another winner and another winner. So I thought, 'Well, maybe there is something wrong with their machine. This can't be real.' She drove to two other gas stations with the s

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
