Iowa House votes to allow touchscreen lottery machinesReply
Well, how about for us folks who use the play slips exclusively? I wish some state, or the national lotto as a whole could come up with a way for the player to just turn in previous tickets played, so that the players can replay the next time, if they so choose. I'd call that a triumph. Then, the clerk wouldn't have to run my slips through, generate the ticket, then put the slip on one side, on the counter; the ticket on the other side. So, eliminating that, would be a triumph for me. I

Va. grocery store worker's lottery ticket mistake turns into $7 million grand prizeReply
Sometimes these kind of things pay; sometimes not much but I like all that. The other day I went to the store to buy a megamillion ticket. Cashier guy said, sorry, I tried to run it and machine said they are doing the drawing at this moment. I said that's ok, give me a ticket for the next drawing. He said he couldn't do anything during a drawing and that I had missed the chance to buy it by 6 minutes. Immediately I got a MM ticket at the store and put the number 6 as Megaball and 5 other numbers

Connecticut Lottery suspends 5 Card Cash sales after retailers found cheatingReply
Finally found out what was going on. When the clerk hits the Print Ticket button, there's a delay in printing the actual ticket and the machine will instantly say if the Instant Win is a winner or loser. If the Instant Win is a loser they can void the ticket before it's printed. It probably has to be done very quickly, so if you were friends with the clerk you made out well. They removed the game so it might not come back.

oh okk then thats probably the one he was talking about we sell a lot of the games where I work so I have a good idea of when there will be winners. Hit a $50 on an Instant Millionaire this morning along with a Quick $20 on the Quick $600 game. Have actually been winning a lot on the Quick $600 and its always for more than $10, usually $20 or $25. Hit the Quick $50 on it 2 days ago also... Got really annoyed last week when I played ticket 50 on 3m Frenzy and I was about to tell the guy to reload

[UPDATE] D.C. woman who tried to redeem faulty ticket admitted to forging second 'winner'Reply
If you play scratch off enough you realize the number code on the front of the ticket match the code on the back. If she had been a regular buyer of tickets from one local retailer 95% of the time. If it really get messed up in the vending machine. All the other ticket on that roll such have been ruin as well. It would line up right. This is the kind of thing you tell the retailer right away. There would been more complains.

I agree. I may not post a $5 loss here and there, but if I spend a good amount and get less than 20% back, I will certainly vent. If I buy in bulk, I expect 50% back. However, like with a machine challenge, if you buy 1 of each ticket, it is super easy to lose on them all. I keep going back and forth. I know if I buy all the same ticket, I have a better chance of winning, but if I lose on them all, I will want to chase. If I buy 1 of each, I have a better shot to lose on them all, but I won't' b

Extradition trial begins this week in $16.5M Hot Lotto fraud caseReply
Here in Idaho each ticket has the code for the machine it was bought from. Albertson's has 2 vending machines plus a terminal at the customer service counter, and each has a different code. So when you do win and can't remember which store you purchased the ticket from, just go to each of your regular stores and buy a draw ticket (doesn't even have to be the same game) and look for numbers that match your winning ticket. Idaho has a string of 6 numbers, I imagine other states will have 6 - 8

Thank you and nice win.. I been getting more and more of that $20 Jackpot ticket. I want the cherry symbol. I know you get alot of symbols, have you gotten that one yet? One of my stops had the silver multiplier ticket in the machine, but it was out. I want to try to find them floating around. I am not sure why, but I feel like I do better on the older tickets before they are about to get pulled.
