Instant Machines!Reply
High traffic supermarket machines do increases your odds a little bit, let me repeat just a little bit, due to more people scratching and paving the way to a winner. However, as you all know, winning tickets are all location dependent, as the winners are distributed to random locations throughout the state. The advantages of machines are... You don't have to deal with a clerk. Some locations have a high roll turnover. They are faster and more convienent to use. There are no lines

Lucky and unlucky Scratch-off ticket numbersReply
Chances are good that somewhere, sometime, someone will win the big one on 022. I doubt, though, it'll be me. 022 hates me. That's okay because I've got some numbers that like me. In the vending machine, of course, we can't see what'll be spit out next...we have to buy one then go from there. Anytime that 022 comes out, I get a sinking feeling. Just once out of so many times, it's been more than zilch. We can see the ticket numbers if the tickets are in a display case or under th

NC Instant Ticket Players, good info for you and comments wantedReply
Yes, it is very possible. First, I buy 99% of my tickets from the vending machines at the grocery store. I know store employees stock them, usually the manager and one other person. This would cut down on the possibility of them scanning the tickets since they don't have the time. I have pulled many winners from these machines, probably since they are untouched . I have also noticed that many of the gas stations that sell lottery tickets usually have a few loose tickets tucked into the dispe

First Kentucky Lottery drawing machine donated to historical societyNews Story
The Kentucky Historical Society has taken posession from the Kentucky Lottery Corporation of a unique piece of state history the machine used to conduct the first legal lottery drawing of the 20th century in the Commonwealth. The Beitel Criterion machine, widely seen on televised drawings, was used for Lotto Kentucky (the first numbers game offered in the state) and Cash 5 drawings from 1989 through 1993. During that time more than $350 million in prizes were awarded through drawings using th

...There certainly is that off-chance that the draw results can be manipulated or adjusted to some degree in a true conspiracy fashion if the draws are not televised live in real time. Whether a half an hour of deadline time is enough time to accomplish that massive feat is debate-able. ...The ticket-vending deadline is probably required to make sure that all vending machines are offline and disabled before the draw, so that the vendors/public-at-large cannot purchase a winning ticket combo a

Store owner's lottery bonus put on holdReply
........ According to CT Lottery spokeswoman Diane Patterson, Zahid has not received his bonus because unfortunately, Mr. Zahid does owe some money to the lottery. At this time there is a net balance to the account. The amount has not been disclosed. According to Patterson, lottery vendors must maintain separate bank accounts dedicated to lottery monies. There is no charge to the retailer to sell Lotto tickets, Patterson said, but vendors do pay a commission to the Lottery for each

Playing every ticket from a machine.Reply
Well, against my better judgement I decided to try this again, but not on a self-serve vending machine. I did it in a store with one of those electronic ticket dispensers that the clerk controls from the register. Same principle though, 1 ticket of each game from this 20 bin display case. Did pretty good on this one: spent $80 and got back $170. This included two $50 wins on $5 games and two of the winners were Win-All symbols. I love getting a Win-All, even though they may be small sometimes
