How does this work? She get the ticket confirmed by a machine which print out a receipt which makes it possible for her to claim her winnings?

Anyone know of a NYS Lottery scratch off Game(s) has any game ended with top prize(s) left unclaimedReply
I never look at the codes. I save ALL my losing tickets and I pay my local retailer a couple of bucks to run the tickets through the machine to ensure it is a losing ticket. I probably have found about $500 dollars over the last 3 years in what I thought was losing tickets to be winners. BUT I do NOT leave the tickets. I wait, watch and verify they are losers or winners and get a receipt on winners to see how much it won for.

Idaho Raffle Adds Instant Win ComponentReply
I just thought of a way a retailer could game this instant win. Our state website has a countdown of tickets sold that's updated very frequently. It looks like every minute or two. A retailer could keep checking and when it gets close just keep printing tickets until the 25,000th one is sold. Maybe their machine would be the one to print it, maybe not. Then they could do like they always do with mistake tickets. Put one in the machine and sell it to the next person who wants a raffle ticket.

what basic filters to avoid conflicts in a lottery?Reply
Works best when you play a different number in each position in a 6/49. Machine will not take your ticket if you try to play 25 in all positions. Be sure you have 6 different numbers on each line, m'kay?

California Lottery begins offering tickets at gas pumpsReply
I have yet to see one of these pumps yet. We have enough lottery terminals as it is. There are 5 machines within 4 blocks of me. Have never even had to stand in line for a ticket. Most of the time there is either nobody at the machine or maybe 1 or 2 people.

Winning a jackpot on just five lines or lessReply
Actually that's so the clerk can load his favorite songs into the terminal so they play every time he scans a winning ticket. The winning number generator is on the inside of the terminal; you have to take it apart and only the lottery technician has the special wrench that unlocks the machine to reach this magical port.

Warning about the lotto vending machines, Illinois LotteryReply
Seems like it can happen in any lotto machine, as I have experienced her in NY State. Thank goodness it was only a $2 win, but I did want to play it and of course it wouldnt print my ticket...
