Something funny about this area is that if you already have one of those protectors and you pull it out in front of the retailer, they seem to always want to give you more. This has happened to me several times.Just last week, at a gas station, the owner looked at the protector I had and said we have much better ones then that. He pulled out two to give to me. They were nice, wider and prettier, but no pockets. ( I know, picky, picky).Anyway, just ask for them. I heard the guy suppling the ti... [ More ]

An update - I sent off emails to 5 of the State Lotteries (MD, PA, VA, DC FL) that I participate in. So far Pa sent me 5 slip protectors FL sent me 1. MD (my home state) said they were available from retailiers and if they don't have them they can be requested. I also received a nice one from CA from lottery post member hosni along with some betting slips - THANK YOU!If I get anything from the other states, I'll be sure to let everyone know.

Right now I live 25 miles west of Chattanooga. It's really nice here with all the mountains and stuff... I guessed Ardmore because it's the first exit in TN from I-65. A lot of AL winners come from Ardmore. I've been there to see how many AL people travel there to play and... I saw a lot of cars. One place you couldn't even get in the parking lot because of all the AL cars parked and the parking lot was littered with losing scratch off and playslips. That is a great place to buy scratch o...

I have 10 extra CA Bet Slip protectors. Anyone interested in one, send me your mailing address and I will put one in the mail for you, including Canada. Not even a postage charge.hosni@lotterypost.com John in sunny and nicely warm Escondido, California

How far is Chattanooga from where you live? It's really nice country up there!For me, living in lotteryless Alabama and being just over an hour and a half's drive from the two closest lottery states (GA and TN), multi draw is the best way to play - especially with gasoline prices being what they are today! I wish they'd make GA Fantasy 5 available with a multi draw of more than 14. Florida Fantasy 5 is much better with 30 draws. However, I sometimes wonder if it's wise to play the same set... [ More ]

You're welcome! And thank you for the warm welcome!If you do decide to carry betslip protectors in the LP Gift Shop, please let me know when they're available. Thanks

i've stocked up on the betting slip protectors you get at lottery retailers.one day i asked for half of the ones that were sitting there since they never get rid of any and the guy said i could have them all,lol.i just grabbed half and told him maybe he'd get rid of the rest soon.the lottery post betting slip protectors would be a great idea especially if they were made like the bankers envelopes.that would be a unique idea to look into

Mr. Bobb I live at the TN/AL/GA line so I can play GA and TN lottery often. I'm about 6 hours from Mobile. After I move I'll be driving back here once a month sometimes twice a month. All I can say is thank Goodness for multi draw. Next time you are in TN ask for a protector and they should give you one. If you have to visit more than one retailer just incase they are out. I take it since you are in AL you stop in Ardmore, TN right

Can you see it now? An episode of Antiques Roadshow in the year 2098... So I see Mr. Jones you have a complete collection of every Lottery Bet Protector Sleeve ever made... do you have any idea what they're worth

Thanks for the welcome, Tnplayer. And a warm welcome to Alabama, to you!Mrs Bobb and I both voted for the lottery when it was on the ballot a few years ago. I believe that it'll pass the next time it comes up for a vote.Going to FLA from Mobile will make for a nice Saturday morning drive. For me, it's about a four hour drive from where I live to either Mobile or the Florida state line.If you like the beach, check out Gulf Shores and Orange Beach (once they get it all rebuilt!).I didn't know...

Welcome Mr. Bobb. Alabama needs a lottery. I'm moving to Mobile in less than a month and it's going to kill me.. I'll travel to FL a good bit.

Hi Todd,Betslip protectors would be a great item for the Lottery Post Gift Shop! I'd buy four - one for each state I (occasionally) play in. We don't have a lottery here in Alabama, but I make it to Georgia and Tennessee occasionally, and to Kentucky and Florida two or three times a year. I always have my betslips filled out and ready to go when I travel.I picked up a few protectors while in Indiana over the 4th of July holiday and they work ok, but it would be cool to have 'official' Lotter...

Here's an idea for betslip and ticket protection that I personally think is much better than the ones given out by the lottery:Go to Staples or Office Max and pick up banker's envelopes. At Office Max they're blue vinyl, and come in packs of 3. They are slightly bigger than a betslip protector, and they have a zippered top, so the betslips and tickets are protected from the elements, with no chance of slipping out. Big enough to fit scratch cards also, if that's your thing.... [ More ]

They give them out free in WA state. I'm not even going to comment on the rain. On the plus side hot here is 80.

mrmst ask the place where you get your tickets from or try some liquor stores that sells lottery tickets. Md lottery headquartes also has them not to far from glen burnie.

I have one from TN. They give them out free to loyal customers. They are great. We get a good bit of rain in TN and it helps keep them dry. They also help organize. I just hand the clerk the slips and the money in the envelope. It's very handy.

Around GA, all you have to do is ask the Retailer. Most convenience store retailers have them and give them out at no cost. They figure if you have enough to play to need that, you deserve it. At least that is what is happening here in GA.Sir Metro

Where can I find betting slip protectors?

mrmst — Tue, 19 Jul 2005 20:00:51 GMT

While in line to purchase tickets, I have seen some players with what look like vinyl envelopes or sleeves with lottery logos on them. They use them to protect and keep their betting slips in good condition. In addition, they have a pocket on the front that holds tickets nicely. Anybody know where I can get a couple of these? I don't care what logo they have on them.
