Emily,I can't answer that if 4 is better than 6 I just downloaded it today and am going through my normal TESTING procedures.So I started with the minimum and so far I don't have to go any further for it to predict wins.However, every state is different you need to find the winning area within your state and for everyone else reading this post.There is no substitution for testing your own state.The bottom line is while its nice that any program won X amt over is la la land I want it to win here...

I like the sentiments said thus far.This should be a valuable lessons for all of us Professional Players.NEVER GIVE YOUR TICKET TO ANYONE other than the actual claims office. Do not even trust the post office.I have driven to my regional office. All lottery headquarters has regional offices which are smaller offices that in the case of IL can pay on the spot any amount up to $25,000 but the amounts vary from state to state but they will give you a stub and the check for any balance minus taxes...

Of course, if you work for the lottery you can't play; but, if you are crooked lottery employee, you can tell a friend what store to go buy a ticket at and split the winnings!Also, remember the scandal of the McDonald's monopoly game with the warehouse workers who printed the prize winning game stickers stealing them every year for 6 years? It makes you want to give up playing

vincejr — Mon, 26 Jan 2004 12:42:08 GMT

time,That is correct. In VA, the only place where Scratcher master winning lists are kept are at the manufacturer who produced the ticket. From what I understand of the process, these lists are kept on two computer disks, neither of which has enough complete information to identify a specific winning ticket without the other. The validation prize table information is loaded into the central computer to be used in validating the tickets.Ticket shipments are controlled by a completely separate s... [ More ]

If I understand correctly the lottery system here in Virginia does not know where winning tickets go and that it is completly random. At least that is what I read a couple of months ago.

That's why I tell anyone, the agents are supposed to give you a ticket showing you how much you won off the ticket. If they don't give it to you, ask for it. Even if it is only for $2, If you feel you have a big money ticket winner. Write down the numbers of the ticket before you turn it over to be cashed. People are not to be trusted.

I agree with all the sentiments thus far. But I was thinking about the disclosure from The Massachusetts Lottery Commission of a $20,000 ticket being distributed at that location. I wonder how are large prize winning tickets distributed? Is it completely random? How would one be sure of that? Would a lottery commision be more likely to distribute big winners to less affluent communities for obvious reasons? For example, I live in Toronto, and it seems to me that you hardly ever hear of bi... [ More ]

If you think you won... SIGN your ticket!!! It's that easy...retailers can't pay out big amounts anyway, you have to claim them at the state's lottery office anyway.The only exception to signing your NAME on the ticket is if you plan to use a trust's name, but still put in address and phone info...a signed ticket is no longer HOT...

I think people ask the store clerk to check their ticket simply because they can't believe that they won and they need someone to validate it. I'm not surprised this happened though. Greediness never takes a holiday off.

This sad story reminds me of dumb people who always ask the clerk to check their ticket when they have a big win. I don't know if it's because of shock or what, but I would never need to confirm with the store clerk whether or not my ticket was a winner and how much it was worth. If you can read, there's never any need to hand over your ticket to anyone

if found guilty, i certainly hope they throw the book at that guy and shut down his lotto terminal for good...and the gall of him offering her another $100 if she keep quiet about the incident. if what she says is true, and the article sure seems to support her claim, she deserves a whole lot more back from that fellow than just the prize money. i'd love to sit on that jury
