SC Lottery not paying winnings on game because of 'programming error'News Story
People who believed they were big winners in a simple South Carolina Education Lottery game over the Christmas holiday were angry to discover that they won't actually win anything. That's because a computer glitch awarded many would-be lucky lottery winners thousands of dollars through the Holiday Cash game. From 5:51 to 7:53 p.m. on Christmas Day, the same play symbol was repeated in all nine available play areas on tickets which would result in a top prize of $500, according to the South

Have you ever had something like this happen?Reply
Just a FYI. Last week I went to Idaho for a ten advance Hot Lotto, two of the clerks didnt know how to do an advance ticet and the woman didnt want to make a mistake so she called the supervisor. He made a mistake and printed out a ten draw ticket for the same day. The woman said that was why she didnt want to try to do it. She showed me a Raffle ticket someone made and it was up by the lottery machine for sale. The supervisor figured it out, got me my correct ticket. She asked him what happens

Have you ever had something like this happen?Reply
the best thing the lottery ever did was put a screen up for players to see exactly how much they were being charged . prior to that clerks were overcharging and stealing money from unsuspecting customers that did not know how much they owed. even though each lottery player should KNOW how much they're tickets account to some people still opted to trust the clerk. I haven't had your problem but I had a lady at a store not long ago that I knew that stole a ticket from me well I was flabbergasted t

Woman sues casino that offered her steak dinner instead of $43 million jackpotReply
Most machines will automatically print a ticket. Say you have $1100 in the machine, you hit for $300, it'll stop play momentarily and print up a ticket so to avoid paying taxes since you went over the $1200 limit. Don't know if LP members follow slots like I do, but Nevada is trying to get the IRS to increase it from $1200 to a higher amount. A couple of years ago the IRS wanted to lower it like $600, but their lobbyists successfully got that stupid idea nixed. Now...I wish there were lottery lo

I don't have a picture yet, but I got a 400$ winner off the new Illinois 30$ scratcher yesterday. What I was doing wa just scratching off the bar code at the bottom and scanning it. I am giving it to my daughter for her High School Graduation next week, so she can scratch off the rest of the ticket and see what she won. It was on a machine, I normally don't get them from machines since I can't see the number. It was ticket 00 and normally I wouldn't get that number ticket either.

4th clerk arrested in Florida Lottery stingReply
South Carolina need to!!! I was talking to a man a few months ago at the gas station. He was telling me he just cashed a ticket for $400. He told me he saw the same number more than 1X and he had a multiplier. This person go to the same store everyday because he don't know how to bubble in the tickets. I personally know this person so I know his situation and the owner of the store know what he can and can't do. My point is this man I believe actually hit for $1000 not $400. He told me the owner

Florida Scratch Offs - Post Pictures if posibleReply
Just cashed in Grandma 40 dollar winner and took it to the Publix on 35th st that sold the 2 million winner. According to the guy at Customer Service, the ticket was bought at the counter, not the vending machine. Because I didn't want to confuse him with numbers I just bought from the roll he had. This is ticket number 3 on roll 95441, but not sure if this is the same roll from the winner bought last week, but if it is its a sign that this is the 2nd jackpot and the other one will be in a lower

I hit this off of one purchase off a roll at the local Shell gas station. I knew it was a good 1 when there were 2 matching 58's on the top row. $20 tickets in Maryland almost never have duplicate numbers. This more than made up for some losses and gave me some extra profit which was great. Before it I played the last 9 $10 Winter Tripler in the machine and lost on all of them except for 1 $10 win LOL. I also bought some draw tickets so hopefully I'll have some luck tonight. I had redeemed a fre
