Indiana man says store cost him $11.5M lottery jackpotNews Story
A 70-year-old retired chemist is suing a convenience store chain for more than $11.5 million, claiming its employees cheated him out of a large jackpot by refusing to sell him a lottery ticket. Charles Andrews says in his lawsuit that he picked the winning numbers for the February 2008 Hoosier Lotto drawing, but that a clerk at a Speedway store in Indianapolis refused to sell him a ticket with a few minutes left before the 10:40 p.m. official sales cutoff. Andrews, of Indianapolis, says th

Lottery vending machines coming to ArkansasNews Story
When the Arkansas Lottery awarded a contract to the Greece-based Intralot in August of this year, one requirement was that the lottery services company provide 100 ticket vending machines. The lottery commission has yet to roll out the machines, but a non-operational model can be seen at the claims center in downtown Little Rock. Lottery director Ernie Passailaigue says Arkansans will start to see the machines this spring, sometime around March or April. But while lottery officials hope to re

Cheated winner wants Texas Lottery to pay upReply
Instead of wasting time on the retailer guidelines you'd be better off finding out the difference between a legal agent and many other types of agents . Simply calling a retailer a sales agent or sales agency doesn't mean they are a legal agent. If you read the end of your quote it very plainly says that it means retailers are licensed to sell tickets. If the lottery intended to make retailers legal agents of the lottery it would be carefully spelled out, describing exactly what powers retailers

Cheated winner wants Texas Lottery to pay upReply
There's aspecific legal definition, and your concept of what that means doesn't appear to be based in reality Lottery retailers are called licensed retail sales agents on the license application and in the Texas Revised Code chapter 466, section .002 DEFINITIONS (subsection (9): sales agent or sales agency means a person licensed under this chapter to sell tickets . It's obvious the person holding the license is in fact selling and redeeming lottery tickets on behalf of the TLC and I'm not

How lucky have you been with scratch offs?Reply
You certainly have a point. The odds for any big prize are slim. The winners are out there, it's just impossible to know where. Lotteries put a lot of effort into promoting these games. In PA we have Gus the Groundhog telling us to *Keep on Scratching* They advertise the latest tickets on TV after the daily number drawing and tell you how many prizes are out there and how big they are. On the tickets for daily games and night games they advertise the current jackpot amounts on the

How lucky have you been with scratch offs?Reply
It's exciting to scratch off more than you paid for the ticket. There are so many tickets printed for each game it's staggering sometimes to imagine winning at all when you step up to the counter. There's always hope of course, but the real chances of winning anything large $500,000 - $1,000,000 are pretty slim considering just how many are out there. I think it amounts to being at the right place, right time. I'd love to be the lucky person to scratch off an amount that reads:
