Thank you PC for your input and insight. The $10 ticket has the best odds but still not favorable. P.S. PC, Love your work and your books, thank you.

the new game ahh NC has thought of another way to get money from lottery players.. as of the cheating I think terminals are set up to much for that to happen you the customer would have to see the cashier print two tickets instead of one so pay attention. 90% of the terminals here are set up where the customer can see the ticket being printed out but we do or have had a lot of cheating here in the past the monitors that NC installed have pretty much eliminated that concern for players.

When you come visit me in Kentucky from CANADA I'll prove to you how wrong you are on all counts.

The retailer does not have to scan the ticket to determine it is a winner.

This game is a huge mistake and not fair to the player. The player may not understand how easy it is for a retailer to cheat them.

Oh yes I do understand this game...we've had them in KY for about a year now and have played. The retailer would have to scan the printed ticket right in front of the customer and if they printed a new one the customer if they're paying attention would notice it. So don't preach to the choir, like I said I've played this RNG (instant) game before. Personally though I don't like it so stopped. Our fraud squad isn't as active as say California's, but we do have one just the same. So if it gets rep... [ More ]

You do not understand how the game works. These are instant draw tickets. If the ticket is a winning ticket, the retailer can choose to keep the ticket and print a new ticket for the customer.

That is a flat out lie. Retailers cannot cheat the customer. It is all RNG, you either tell the clerk what denomination you want or go to the lottery machine and depress what you want and it prints. No human intervention, you can't pick your own #'s. I will say one thing it eats up a lot of paper.

What a terrible game.

It is very easy for a retailer to cheat a customer.

Progressive games, hmmm, didn't other states stop (halt) them...I must do my research on this matter. Good luck to all.
