NC man glad he didn't throw away losing scratch-off lottery ticketsReply
I'm glad to see he woke up from the coma that he was in. That ticket has been out since last Aug. and another $30 ticket has joined it also with a second chance drawing. North Carolina Educational Lottery is notorious for writing b.s. feel good stories and that one is on the top of the list. Stores everywhere advertise the second chance drawing for the $30 ticket. The one he won on is the second drawing of three. The recent $30 ticket has it's first second chance drawing the first week of next m

Lotto tickets only good one time aroundReply
I have seen articles on lottery related stories where people have found winning scratchers in the trash and cashed them in. Some players do not fully read or understand the winning combinations on a ticket and throw them away.I pull second chance drawing scratchers out of the trash that are losers and send them in to the lottery for the second chance drawing at $100,000.00 top prize plus a chance at lower tier prizes. These tickets go for $10.00 each and it cost me only the postage for them. Th

Arizona Lottery computerized drawing machine generated identical winning numbersReply
The easy way to get states to stop using RNGs is to boycott the games. If people simply stopped playing those games, the loss of revenue would cause the states to go back to using balls. As long as states keep recording record sales, they have no incentive to change operations. I also wonder if this problem exists with second chance drawings since those are computerized. Florida has been doing second chance drawings for losing scratch-off tickets for a few years now. About a year ago, one pe

Lottery Ticket Loser Says He Won't Give UpReply
is it really rocket science to check a ticket?wouldn't his signature have been on the back for the second chance drawing? Our retailers sometimes do that in PA, it involves signing your losing ticket and putting it in for the drawing... it is not a PA lottery official game, but rather a retailer-only operation. If he didn't put his name on the ticket, how exactly did he think he would have been notified if he won the second-chance drawing?If the clerk ripped him off, then he should get his winni

Mississippi Lottery announces new Cash 4 gameReply
I'm in Louisiana and I'm sure we've lost some lottery revenue due to Mississippi getting its own lottery. I've actually been tempted to drive across the border and buy some scratch off tickets. One cool thing they are doing with their scratch off tickets right now is they all have a second chance drawing for the same amount as the top prize and to get into the second chance drawing just enter losing tickets on their web site. They don't even have to be mailed in. I think that's pretty cool.
