Those are my sentiments too. He'd only have to worry if he was winning REALLY big money like every couple of days or something....

How? "Pick3" or Numbers if you from the NY area, is tax free 100%. Unless you put 2 straight tickets on the same ticket. Pick 3 is completely tax free! Trouble for what? How is that even possible? Only problem you will have is finding places to cash them all. But hey with that much going around, tip the nice lady will ya?

Sometimes you do the right thing just because it’s right.

Point being learn and know about all you do before you do it. Otherwise guess it is what it is called.. entertainment. Lol. Have fun.

The more astute player knows not to leave his or her Betslips behind, if they hit alot..ask for them back, to compare if the Terminal actually spit out what your slips says..

I once had a slick lil hefa clerk try to slip erroneously printed tickets from other Game transactions into MY transaction, so that SHE wouldn't have to pay for'em..!! ..even kept 1 of my Betslips , because it was 5 extra tickets she was trying to stick ME with..so she intentionally didn't print them, so the count wouldn't draw my attention...all while she smiled at me..!!

So, it's not just other bystanding players you have to be aware of ,.. it's Clerks too, ..from lieing to you saying a ticket isn't worth anything, when in fact it is,.. to Clerks trying to stick YOU with tickets printed in error from tranctions before you got to the store...KEEP YA EYES OPEN..!!

Even more,.. Don't cash your winning tickets at the same store you submit your waging Betslips,..if you play consistently.!

That way, the people where you submit your Betslips, will never know how often you hit..

-Stat$talker

Aren't stores notified when or how much someone hit at their store?

I guess if they have plenty of customers come and go and play lotto they can't figure out which

one is winning often.

I wasn't talking about Pick 3. I was thinking more along the lines of Fantasy 5, Mega Millions, Lotto, Jackpot Triple Play, Cash4life, and Powerball....;) If you're constantly Winning THOSE Games, Lottery Officials eyebrows will most likely be raised....

"What's your ADDRESS?" May be the CREEPIEST question EVER asked to a Lottery Winner! O.O WTF?

At first, I found the one digit away draws kind of amusing, but now I am PISSED! 15 or 16 times I was off by just one digit in recent times!🤬 No longer find this amusing, it's making me REALLY angry now!🤬

I'm sure they're notified when there's been a Big Game Winner, like MM, PB, or the State's Pick 5 games ... but not sure about the pick 2's,3's, 4 Games..!!

Will I get in trouble if I win more then 3 times in a month from pick 3? I'm just curious what if it's possible?

First, you have to win. Then you talk to the accountant, then you can do a spreadsheet.

Go to OLG's website. There is a section where you can sign up for online play.

No, Ploco2 is correct. You cannot play PICK-3 online in Ontario. The only daily online game is Keno.

Ploco2,

As I said to you in your other thread (where you asked the exact same question) - there's a guy in my neighborhood who wins PICK-3 several times a week. Just spread your bets across several bet slips so you keep your winnings under $1000 on each ticket. If your winnings are under $1000, you can easily collect from any lottery retailer of your choice (no need to keep going to the same one). But if your winnings are over $1000 on one ticket, you have to go downtown to collect (which is not just inconvenient, but also the way the Lottery Corp will be able to notice how much you are winning).

They don't keep track, if you cash them at the store.

The trouble starts when you don't win.

That breaks down to 15 wins a year. One every three weeks. Not really that many.

Before you play there are 2 choices to make. Low sum or high sum and consecutive pair or no consecutive pair. Choose correctly and you go from 120 combos down to 30. Not a bad starting point.

Yeah, I was thinking that's not that many wins for them to go investigating but they

did for some odd reason.

At first I was wondering how the lottery office would even know, then I reread the story and it said you could wager any thing from .50 to $5.00. He was probably doing the $5 wager so each winning ticket would be worth $3,000, hence the visit to the lottery office to cash it. A good reason to play separate tickets.

I find this hard to believe... And the winner happened to be the only person who ever won $600 or more in a single drawing at the store during those three years.

It reminds of this...

$1,000? In my State you can only cash in $599 at the most.... Anything over that had to be cashed at a Lottery Office...
