I can sum this up in one sentence...a cliche even. Biting the hand that feeds you . The nerve of some people. Sorry for the long, drawn out previous post.

Please excuse me for not being so quick on the draw here, but it seems to me that the retailer was actually trying to help. From what I can see, he insisted on the ticket(s) which contained prizes...and the customer ended up recovering $20 instead of losing $20 altogether. So, we complain about getting our money back with the very good possibility of winning a large prize? Wow! I mean, the clerk didn't know for certain that the tickets were all winners as one of them was a loser, in fact.

Sneaky lil %$^@(* . The best punishment would be to remove lotto sales from the location, not just revoke. Its too easy to switch business names and start over. I hope other states take notice.

How stupid must this retailer be?

Probably a flibbertigibbet.

I'm always flabbergasted by flibbertigibbets too.

I had to reread the article ... I am flabbergasted (love being able to use that word). How stupid must this retailer be? At minimum they should be fined and their ability to sell lottery tickets revoked... and no wonder the public doesnt think that the lottery is legit

I know the feeling.I purchase my Powerball MegaMillions tickets in Iowa,but I don't buy scratch offs here.Since I live within a mile of Illinois and Missouri,I buy my scratch offs in those states.I have a lot better luck in those other states.

I think that this lottery ticket retailer shouldn't be allowed to sell lottery tickets anymore, even if the owner didn't know that deception was occuring!

I also think that the local newspaper and radio stations should report what happened at this lottery ticket retailer

this is bishop's fault. the new hack overpaid arkansas lottery directory should be held accountable for this. since he was hired the arkansas lottery has lost total credibility with the wagering public. he has not been heard from or seen since he was hired. time to step up bishop and clean up this mess.

I'm not completely sure, but what it sounds like to me is, when the Bonus $50 box has the gold bar looking symbol thing, it is most likely in the same spot on every winning ticket that has that symbol.

So my guess is, the retailer figured that if they could scratch a tiny mark out of the middle of that box, if they see some type of ink that looks consistent with the Bonus $50 winning symbol, then they know it's a winner.

This particular retailer probably knows the difference between a... [ More ]

Cover-up alleged in Arkansas Lottery

Lottery Post — Thu, 03 May 2012 01:16:13 GMT

An irate lottery player claimed in county court that Arkansas Lottery officials tried to keep him quiet about flawed lotto tickets.

In a class action, the man says that the security director of the Arkansas Lottery Commission offered him a bizarre assortment of Lottery merchandise and asked him to keep quiet about flawed tickets, so the Lottery would not lose money while it had the tickets reprinted.

Lead plaintiff Rick Tomboli sued the Arkansas Lottery Commission and its top officials, in... [ More ]
