Every line was a winner

Ok. I just added up that scratcher in the photo and got to 75k. Is that routine to have so many rows of winning icons vs one row with winning icons

The Louisiana has an app that will scan barcodes and tell if it's a winner. It can also tell if the ticket has been cashed. It's free and makes things easier.

I have read some articles here where a scratch game winner had to ask the store clerk if the card is a winner.

If there is a barcode that can be scanned then I think that makes it a little easier, but just looking at the above card, I wouldn't be able to tell my nose from my elbow

I feel the same way about scratchers. They are so busy looking and some mention multiple ways to win. I guess you can check the bar code but I like draw games and picking numbers.

I have looked at the Virginia lottery website for various scratchers and sometimes a few of the big prizes go unclaimed. I wonder if the scratchers confused a winner.

Hadn't read the full story on KLC FB page...thanks for posting it.

Congratulations to her. An easy ride to KLC for her, I-64 West until 3rd St exit, right second light on Main St and follow it on down to KLC headquarters---not that I've had the privilege of going there YET

Am happy for her. May the win help pay off a pressing need.

I have never played scratch card games and for the life of me, if I was to pick this card on the side walk, I would totally have no idea it's a winning card. I am reading the instructions and looking at the symbols, but still not getting it.

Let me just wait for my PB and MM draws - I know a winning ticket a mile away

Beginner's luck strikes again

By Kate Northrop

A Kentucky woman who had never played the lottery in her life just won a $75,000 prize on her first-ever scratch-off ticket.

A Kentucky lottery player's first big win resulted from her first ticket purchase ever, and it was certainly a cause for celebration.

Rebecca Napier of Frankfort walked into Kentucky Lottery headquarters in Louisville earlier this month with tears of joy in her eyes as she prepared to claim a meaningful prize.... [ More ]
