Florida lottery kicks off campaign to protect customers from dishonest clerksReply
Umm the scanners do tell you exactly how much you won unless it is a big prize and that is for security purposes. Would you like some yutes standing next to you when your found out your ticket was worth 1 mill. Don't worry those that lost their lottery licenses will sell the store to one of their family members and be back selling lottery at no time. When I worked for a lottery vendor that will remain nameless it seems like these patel stores were going through changes of ownerships every other

California waiting for Mega Millions winner to emergeReply
Ditto what is When Julio met Patel? I googled it, couldn't find anything. As for the winner- if I had to guess, they're waiting as long as possible until the 60 day lump sum option expires, hoping that someone else wins a medium sized lottery so that they can get a little more lost in the news shuffle + have everything ready to go to disappear, start new...Or they lost the ticket.

Scab East Indian Thorns In My SideReply
Wow. I've never seen locked boxes for discarded tickets in California. All of our scratchers and SuperLotto are eligible for 2nd chance drawings. I don't scrutinize the winners of our 2nd chance drawings, but they appear to be distributed across the state and no one particular surname pops out like Patel in Tennessee. California did limit 2nd chance entries to 1,000 per month in 2012.

Georgia's Response To My Complaints/Info You may want to knowReply
They answered me back a month after I wrote them two emails complaining but I am glad they eventually responded. I know they probably get a lot of complaints but there's a lot he is doing wrong. I believe it may be just to pacify me into thinking they'll do something. I don't think his first name is a real one but his last name is Patel (his first is a common name, like Dave or John for example.) I hope you are right though.

Lucky store: Sells third $1M lottery ticketReply
seems like all the state border stores are the so called lucky stores . could it be that they have the most sales volume since they draw from at least 2 different states. i would say avoid any store run by a patel for obvious reasons but then you wouldn't be able to find one very easily. one thing you can find easily are dunkin donuts stores as there is one on every corner in every town in new england.
