I wanted to play 2 lines tonight. Put the money ticket in the machine and it kept saying I didn't have enough numbers in the panel. I checked the ticket several times and kept putting it back in but it wouldn't take it. So since you don't get money back from the machine, I picked a $2 scratch off and left. Just scratched it and I won $20! So I'm taking that as my win for today. Back to FF5 tomorrow! My mom lives in PA and they can get their money back (in the form of vouchers that you take to

RNG controlledReply
Of course there is proof. Because the machine that generates the random numbers is the lottery terminal itself, not some central computer. The lottery machine (the machine that prints out your ticket) generates the random numbers, sends those numbers to the central computer in the same way it sends numbers that you selected, and then prints the ticket. This description of the process has been verified multiple times. There are many reasons to want computerized drawings eliminated, but this i

Lottery Machine Mystery
In all the years I've played the lotteries I've never encountered this before. So I am going to ask what you think may have happened. I pick my own numbers. I gave the clerk my ticket, I played one number set. The clerk ran the numbers and I didn't notice him having any issues in regards to the machine printing my numbers. So I gave him the money and he handed me the ticket. Instantly I noticed my last number was 31. It just jumped out at me. I thought oh my, I must have screwed up because m

Nice going MIDGET !! That $500 looked good as well ! Do you remember the book # on each ? Thanks Luck might have it ! Was at the Publix yesterday and bought 2 WCC's, 2 $20 GR DOUBLERS and 2 $20 BROWN GR's from the machine - then did some shopping in the store and as I was leaving to cash in my huge $50 win the gals at the counter were excited - asked what's going on ? Told me after I bought my tickets and while I was shopping, someone bought a $20 GR ticket from the machine and won a big one

Have you ever had something like this happen?Reply
If the machine said I owed that much he would have had to done the cash 5 with mine then...I should have looked to see if they were qp's or not because if they were not he would have had to punch in all of the numbers it did not take but a few seconds to run 2 slips so I'm pretty sure he already had the ticket. I wish now I had of look at it close to see the time it was ran and the date on it. ...if he had not cleared out the machine from the last transaction it could have added extra $5 to i

Guys, believe me, something crazy is going on with the $20 Monopoly game. Took a road trip to Apopka today so I could get my Wawa cravings on. Sadly, they've done away with my Frozen Lemonade product which was my favorite, but the food is still great, and OMG they have Frozen SURGE in the Icee Machine! Last month we visited the World of Coca-Cola and part of the final tour is getting to taste all sorts of Coke products from around the world. I ended up mixing Mr Pibb and Surge and I think I crea

Staying persistent on a ticket pays off. I have played the $5 Red Hot 5s quite a few times. Definitely $100-$200 worth, but I have had plenty of luck on them. The other day I played at a Publix, and bought 1 $5 Red Hot 5 from the counter and 1 from the machine. #026 and #033 both losers. Friday I go back, and decide to buy from the machine since the roll behind the counter has barely sold any tickets. Out pops ticket #030, and #033 was the one I had the day before. Barely anyone touched that rol

[UPDATE] D.C. woman who tried to redeem faulty ticket admitted to forging second 'winner'Reply
One problem I have with the updated story. The sentence.....it is possible, although rare.... The IVM's malfunction quite often....whether due to tickets not dispensing, cutting improperly or short changing you. There are 2 varieties in my area....one is a machine that holds just instant tickets and one is a machine that is bigger and you can play jackpot games, daily number games, get quick picks/choose your own numbers and buy instant tickets from this type. Both are faulty s

This idea of tipping a clerk if YOU pick n buy your own tickets makes no sense - IF the clerk steered you to buy a certain ticket because he/she knew it was a hot roll and it won $100 or more - then I could see a tip might be in order. Nothing more than $10.00 tho .......and remember, once you tip they will always EXPECT it. When you pull a $1K ticket from the machine who do you tip ? The machine ?? :) I think when you lose say $4 or $500 - go back to the store with your losing tickets and

I play mostly at Publix, a few gas stations and sometimes the hole in the wall convenience store. Publix here is 100% new tickets only. They go by the if it is not meant for the machine we wont order it rule. So that means the counter has the same games as the machine. The guy who runs the BP and Sunoco station around here has got lazy and just orders loads of the new $25 ticket and a bunch of GR. He will have 4 rolls of GR going before he puts out any other $20 ticket. They sell the best becaus
