Checking discarded tickets for winners - Claim Form RequiredReply
omiller315, the discarded $1000 winner was a Pennsylvania Fantastic 10s ticket. A Ten symbol means you automatically win the prize below. By only scratching the words under the numbers the buyer managed to not see the numeral 10 within a spiked oval. Its unmistakable but could be missed by someone taking a minimalist approaching to scratching tickets. If the purchaser had only scratched the ticket one millimeter higher they would have realized they had a winner.

Do you search out and check discarded lottery tickets?Reply
Thanks CDanaT. Its fun but obsessive. After double checking a 100 or so discards and finding no overlooked winners I just have to find more tickets to check. When I do finally find a winner the Lottery App in Pennsylvania provides a satisfying winning screen complete with falling confetti.

I'd have a bloody heart attack if I won 10X $200 in all 25 spaces. Does Pennsylvania have a trend of this kind of prize formatting? I mean, in CA they would probably just go with a single number match, right? They definitely don't have $3 Million symbols!

How bad has the Pennsylvania Lottery gotten? I played the instant tickets semi-regularly when visiting PA up until about 2012 and it wasn't hard to find $50, $100 winners even in the lower-denomination tickets.

Anyone having luck in PA?
Just moved from Orlando Florida to Pennsylvania. Haven't really won anything on the scratch offs here compared to Florida. Anyone from PA having any luck?

I just saw that ticket from the Georgia thread. I think GTECH produced this game for California, Pennsylvania, and Georgoa. The state lottery pays about 1% of the revenue to GTECH produce the games. There is virtually not much left to pay to the players thereafter.

Won $220 on a Daily 4 play in 2010 and had to go to three separate stores before I could cash it. Same with a $200 crossword last year. Pennsylvania has retailers that pay up to $1,000 instantly, the fact that many in California can't take $50 or $100 or $200 is unacceptable.

If you have a Android phone(not sure if iphone has it) try the Pikatikit app. It ranks that Black Tie ticket in 49th place under Pennsylvania. The Yellow $2 1k a week for life is ranked #1.

Nice wins guys. Sounds like the common theme. Florida winners and Pennsylvania losers. I still plan to have some Florida tickets sent up here someday soon....
