Hi everyone,
I am new here and still exploring the site, but loving it so far! I play the Super Lotto in California and spend hours every week filling out the cards. I tried a sharpie, but it seems the machines are hit and miss when reading those cards. Now I use a medium ball point pen and I draw a circle around the numbers instead of filling in the mark completely. What is everybody using to fill out the lotto cards? | | |

My personal tool of choice is a simple black-ink ballpoint pen. However, there are some excellent software solutions to do the job faster for you. In my personal opinion, "Lotto-Pro" is one of the best programs out there for doing this.  Shawn

I use a Sharpie fine point permanent marker. I just touch the square with the numbers I want to play and I don't leave a play slip under the one I'm marking because sometime there's bleed through which will make the play slip underneath unusable. * that which happens most *
* is most likely to happen again *

I fill my slips out with a pen. "No one remembers the person who almost climbed the mountain, only the person who eventually gets to the top."

I use a pencil and fill them in like a scrantron sheet. | | |
