This is what i think is the real scam with this game.

I noticed a few months ago these tickets started having a bold text warning on the top about verifying the time your ticket was printed.

You can get an instant win with this game when its printed for matching a set number of cards. I believe lotto clerks were printing lets say 5 tickets knowing that the odds are there will be an instant win and them putting the winners aside for themselves and handing the non instant win losers to unsus...

This was tl/dr earlier, but I see cheats were involved. It's getting to the point where I don't believe ANYONE wins any lottery game fair and square. They are even figuring out how to run cheat codes on scratch off tickets. I'm about ready to quit these rigged games.

I know I'm right. These games have way too many winners because they are way too easy to win. Not too easy for you and I, but too easy for winners. We need HARD lotteries. I'm glad CT shut this one down for being too easy.

Really, games need matrixes that have numbers made up of hundreds of trillions of digits in order to be hard enough. Even then it would still be way too easy for someone out there.

so it took a year after being made aware there was a problem? and the retailers are the crims? if you design and let loose a system that can be rigged, people will rig it. if you leave it for a whole year once aware there is a p[roblem ,, you actually authorise it, its your freaking system. this is like playing poker with marked cards and telling the players, i know theyre markjed , but dont read em

The Connecticut Lottery and state Department of Consumer Protection shut down the 5 Card Cash game after noticing there were more winners than the game's parameters should have allowed, and determining that some lottery agents were manipulating machines to print more winning tickets and fewer losers.

The investigation is ongoing, Consumer Protection Commissioner Jonathan Harris said Friday afternoon, but lottery retailers found to have cheated could face criminal charges.
