Does anyone have luck with vending machines for scratch tickets?Reply
I rarely play scratchers but I did win $100 on a scratcher from a vending machine a couple years ago. I buy my online tics whenever I can from the vending machine at the local Tom Thumb grocery store. It's faster than waiting on a clerk at the service desk. I use playslips so I never have a problem with the powerplay and megaplier.

Scratchers - counter or vending machine?Reply
I use both counter and vending machine, but my favorite is the vending machine. A lot of the grocery stores here in Ohio have them. Makes it nice because it's so convenient, you can buy tickets day or night. As a matter of fact, I just got a $100 winner last night.

Virginia Lottery March profits took a big hitReply
I have no problem getting tickets on any Online game from vending machines providing I have the exact amount. The thing is many of the stores where I regularly purchase tickets have new clerks and are clueless if the vending machine has a problem. If the machine is down or there is no machine the next best option is filling out a play slip, handing it to a clerk, and having the correct amount of money. And I always use plenty of the hand sanitizer in my car. Just I guess, but probably sales a

Warning about the lotto vending machines, Illinois LotteryReply
You can go to the machine at most service desks in a grocery store. You'll have better luck there if there is an error. That's probably the best advice. It's more likely a clerk in a small store will make mistakes than one at service center in a large grocery store. But it makes for a better story by saying they were ripped off by a vending machine and nobody will help them. I half expected her to tell me I had to buy it...yeah right. Been there, done that but I filled out at pla

Louisiana Lottery Vending MachineReply
I gave the machine a try today and it worked fine. I bought some tickets with playslips and some quick picks and there were no problems. I did have to let it scan my driver's license first but other than that, it was fine. I scanned 3 tickets also, but they weren't winners. The only odd thing is the font is different from the vending machine as opposed to regular terminals. I was told that was the first lottery vending machine in Louisiana, maybe it will be lucky.

Florida Scratch Offs - Post Pictures if posibleReply
Picking up on the vending machine issue from the other day, I've ran some numbers and I think its clear that a good chunk of the missing 10,000 rolls are from the rolls that the FL lottery picks up out of the vending machine to replace with the newer games. Publix (782 locations), Winn-Dixie (200 locations), Wawa (100 locations), Race-Trac (100+ locations), Turnpike Service Plaza's, Pilot/Love's/TAs, and others I'm probably missing. there's probably close to 2,000 vending machines. And when new

Sorry to hear about the bee sting! ouch :( I had no idea that you could replay a ticket at the vending machine! What else am I missing at the vending machine? hmm.... I'll be taking a closer look. I bought a quick-pick for Wild Card at the vending machine yesterday, and one today, but I tend to use the ones at Albertsons. Never have had a problem there. Good luck to you too!
