CT Powerball winner claims to have lost ticketReply
How do you know that you won without the ticket and not knowing what machine sold the ticket; isnt thats where the great power outage was for that drawing , maybe no one won and the prize will go back to the game pool; not Conn. prize money came from all states . If i had a winning jackpot of that amount I dont beleive I could talk about it. JUST SAYING

Gold Rush TriplerReply
Been chasing $500 since it's launch and finally hit last night. Ticket #18, which I bought out of a Publix vending machine, had 2 coin stacks $100 $50 then matched number 30 for another $50. Then purchased ticket #19 from the clerk and it hit for $100. Oh and I spent $80 a good night and paid my water bill...lol! I still prefer the 'old' Rush!

Winning at NY Take 5Reply
I think they fired her because of jealousy. There's no law saying a cleark can't play lottery. Even if she didn't buy the ticket from that machine and some other ones across the street she would still get fired, for not buying ticket in house, lol.

Post your scratch ticket resultsReply
Won $10 off $200 Million Spectacular first ticket out of the machine so I got a LFL $10. Ticket had all the strange lines on the back, but lost. So I got the next one and won $200 !! 95% of the time I see a ticket with 3 black lines on the back top as this - -- - the winner is that ticket or 1-2 away

Jackpot winner dangers!Reply
@PERDUE- when they check, the machine prints a receipt with the amount for the ticket that has to be stapled to the winning ticket and I always watch the receipts and their count.

Who manufactures your state lottrey machine ?Reply
A glorified reconfiged red fax machine is what MD. lottery uses. The thing is such a piece of junk they didn't included a ticket paper low/out sensor, so when it is out of thermal ticket paper it keeps right on printing as if there was paper in it. Also it has no paper jam sensor in the paper exit path......................

Does buying a whole roll of scrachers work?Reply
If you buy an entire pack or better yet several entire packs, keep scanned images of every ticket in that pack, both losers and winners.

You could then go from store to store or machine to machine and buy a ticket, see if all the symbols match exactly to the same numbered ticket from the pack you had purchased, if it does, buy another ticket and if th
