Connecticut Lottery forced to redraw special New Year's raffle after 'human error'Reply
Players of a special New Year's lottery raffle game in Connecticut may be out of luck if they tossed their tickets, after officials disclosed they need to hold a new drawing after 100,000 eligible tickets were mistakenly disregarded Monday. My guess is they are about to be sued by wronged players. They might want to set aside some money for the lawsuits. Our goal, first and foremost, is to make our players whole. How do you plan to do that when you said that people wh

Million dollar winners: 00246526 00349652 00356926 00358219 Last two were likely sold on the same day, likely July 6, only two days ago.

Post your scratch ticket resultsReply
I feel your pain.... While I haven't chased like that in a long time, I do get the itch and play more than usual every so often. I'm not really playing more often than usual right now, maybe a tad, but I'm doing terrible. I played two $10 Blowout tickets last night on 049 and 050 and they both lost. I think I already posted this, but last friday I went down to the local grocery store that just got one of the new instant ticket machines in and was going to play there.

Illinois Lottery sales lowest in two yearsNews Story
Our winners will be paid, Illinois Lottery Superintendent B.R. Lane said. After nearly three months of withholding payments due to the state budget impasse, the Illinois Lottery said it's not if winners will get their cash -- but when. The Illinois Lottery saw a significant drop in ticket sales from September to October, which coincides with the state budget stalemate. Because they're not sure when they'll be paid, our players are buying fewer tickets. It's really that simple, Lane said.
