We stopped at a Shell station to play a ticket today and the clerk said, "I've never seen this, the terminal says, "Encryption error."

So we waited a minute and then it came back on and took a playslip for Lotto (Pick 6). Then my wife had a scratcher to cash and it was back to "Encryption error" and didn't come back up.

So on the way home we stopped at another place, same story, and that clerk says, "I've never seen this before."

So I'm wondering if:

A lot of people were playing 315 (The date, the ides of March)

There was a run on people getting raffle tickets for Wednesday, the St. Patrick's Day raffle

Or was it just the Lottery Fairy having fun in her own unique way?

Scared

It's Lotto, not horseshoes or artillery!
Close doesn't count!

    All the raffle tickets are sold out!

    Hopefully there was a temporary problem with the computer system and they've fixed it.

    That or you jinxed the games LOL!
