Lottery winner loses ticket, awarded unspent portion from couple who found itReply
After reading this story I was motivated to once again read the back of my playslip and ticket. On the back of my playslip under HOW TO CLAIM YOUR PRIZE: The first thing the TX Lottery Commission wrote was, Sign ticket before claiming. Unsigned tickets could be claimed by whoever possesses the ticket. I continued to read the back of the playslip and under the section RULES: The first thing the TX Lottery Commission wrote was, The ticket, not the playslip, is the only valid proof of your numb

Lottery ticket has all the numbers, but 7 seconds lateReply
I punched twice, before 9 p.m., Mr. Iranpur recalled yesterday in an interview. The first ticket came out. I said, 'It's still 8:59, it's still 8:59!' The second ticket, however, didn't come out until seven seconds after 9 p.m., making it eligible for the next draw. It appears to me the terminal machine should be programmed for the ticket time to be when the data or playslip is entered. Not when the ticket is printed. Enter data at 8:59 and 55 seconds the machine should print ticket t

$1.05 BILLION: Mega Millions keeps rolling after no winner FridayReply
I dunno if anybody posting in this thread is located in a state where the state lottery allows players to do this, but for what it's worth.... (I do know that New York and Florida allow it for PowerBall, but I've never done it for MegaMillions. If they do it for PB I cant see any reason why they would not allow it for MM) Some states allow players to do a partial-QP . There's a slight trick to it though, and that's that you must mark the QP box on your play/betslip too in addition to picking

Indiana man says store cost him $11.5M lottery jackpotReply
I understand why Charles Andrews is upset, he knows what #s he would have played, he wrote them down on the playslip, and all 6 would have matched (HIS personal lightening would probably have struck)! That HURTS greatly, and he is probably upset with himself that he waited too long for a person with a disability to get to a backup lottery ticket retailer in case of problems with the first! I've had the same thing happen to me. Unfortunately, the store that he went to support, via purchasing an I

Police arrest four in Chicago lottery ticket scamReply
NC needs to open up an investigation on the new owners of the corner country store to get them also. I've reported what happened to me there to the NC authorities but I guess they will need more compliaints before they look into it. I bought 6 Pick 3 tickets there, and only received 5 back. Now they charged me $6 for the tix. I never left the counter and I counted my tickets out right there. I even told him what number was missing ! The guy swore he gave me 6, and I told him, I never left away f

Cheated winner wants Texas Lottery to pay upReply
Did I miss something somewhere in the first story about this village idiot?!!!! Mr. Willis should be grateful for any money he gets from the Lottery Comnmission!! As I recall it was Mr. Willis, who couldn't find the channel that televised the drawings (TXCN shows the lottery results all day everyday here in TX), stopped purchasing the newspaper, was too da-mn lazy to pick up the results printout on the counter/on the playslip kiosk, or scan his own frickin ticket at the scanner attached to t
