Florida Scratch Offs - Post Pictures if posibleReply
I have to think this is because they are so close to the Lottery Headquarters. Also, the fact that they can get all of these books, while no one else can, is somewhat concerning. What if the Headquarters has pulled 100k books from around the state and they are just funneling them into that 1 store? I mean, 20-30 books is one thing, but If they literally had 100k books of say, 50x at their disposal, what would be the point?

If you won a huge jackpot, who would you tell...Reply
Nobody. You can bet your butt if I win on a Wednesday, I'll be standing at the front door of Hoosier Lottery headquarters the next morning at 9AM. Now, if I win on a Saturday, I'll probably spend all day window shopping/screen shopping on Sunday, then be at Hoosier Lottery headquarters 9AM Monday morning.

What actually happens when you win the lottery.Reply
Tickets worth over $25,000 are usually only validated at lottery headquarters, but in some states tickets of any value can be cashed at lottery headquarters. A MM or PB jackpot winner will probably get more fan fair, but they will take your picture holding a huge check and might put it on their website. In Ohio, it took about six weeks to get the check a few years ago, but it may be quicker now.

$400K lottery prize claimed 'just in time'Reply
If I ever get a big win in the lottery I would never send my winning ticket in the mail. What would have happend if that ticket Brenda sent in was lost ?. I could only guess. The lottery headquarters denies Brenda her winning ticket or Brenda must wait one year to claim the lottery money . When I win the big one, I'm going right to the lottery headquarters and claim my win.
