What state uses what terminal?Reply
Yes, thanks very much JS9. I really should be tracking this stuff, just like I'm tracking computerized drawings. If you're interested I could create some storage space and a page to keep track of various stuff like lottery ticket machine, vendor, drawing machine brand and model, as well as whatever else makes sense. (I think it makes sense to track everything by game, not just state.) I would rely on your info to fill in the blanks.

just a thoughtReply
If you hired 10,000 people and they stood in front of the ticket machine 24 hours a day and fed the tickets thru 1 per second how long would it take. 135,000,000 / 60 = 2,250,000 hours.2,250,000 hours / 24 = 93,750 days10,000 people / 93,750 days = 9.375 days.

Ontario Lottery launches a new type of instant ticketReply
The way that reads, it seems like there is a vulnerability introduced: If you can find out the winning numbers (since they were already drawn), hack a lotto ticket machine to print out a winning ticket. Also, if a player can immediately, after purchase, scan the ticket to see if it is a winner, it seems much like an instant draw game. I've never played an instant draw game because its a computer draw.

California Scratch OffsReply
Hi Skeptic, its good to know there's good people out there, respecting elders . I'd take that kind of kindness you shown any day, so much hate in the world these days. You definetly deserve the top jackpot prize or the one below it, maybe they saving them for you by taking the smaller jackpots. I guess you got to live long too so when you get to there age that top prize hits*hopefully sooner though. Did you give up scratching for the day after the 2nd time? I'd probably go to some random pla

Saw something amazing yesterday
I had been reading about math teachers who use baited hook scratch cards to predict the winners from the losers, and win millions. However it takes an inside man, a cashier to let you sift through them to only buy the probable winners, so I never did it. It also takes some investment time and money to crack the codes of the cards of your state in the first place. Well I was in line yesterday to get a lotto ticket or ten, and a man with a 4 inch stack of a $10 game of the same scratch card hands

Does anyone collect scratch tickets?Reply

I think that's the standard in PA.That's like trying to find a needle in a hay stack.Chasing tickets is not the way to win and some stores here in MA are supposed to pull a ticket and they don't, so a person could be chasing a ticket that is off the mar
