I stand corrected, I just check the tickets I purchased for myself this past weekend against the 20 QPs I bought for a friend and I had no winners while he had a 0+1 and a 1+1 for a $7 win.

I played for 2 drawings and he only played for one so if I don't win anything Saturday I'll have no reason to ever return to Indiana and he'll be stucked with tickets worth $7 unless he's willing to invest in a tank of gas to drive to Indiana to cash them in.

that is not the only thing that is so time consuming. everytime I go get my tickets, cashiers don't put the damn bet slips in the machine correctly, it does not register all the tickets correctly. so we end up waiting, waiting waiting for them to correct it. wtf.

I've also never had a problem filling out my slips, maybe because I only use ink.

I've never heard of any special kind of pencil . There's no problem in WI with playslips. THe only thing you can't use is red ink.

We don't have circles. We have rectangles. And all you have to do is put one line in the middle of one of them for it to register.

When ever I've gone to Indiana to pick up PB tickets, some friends and others hear about my planned trip and ask me to pick up some QPs for them too. Since I only do this 2-3 times a year, I record the QPs and compare their winnings with my system picks, so far my system have always won more per number of tickets than those QPs. I think QPs win more generally because 80%+ of all lottery tickets are QPs according to what I've read.

I use a Sharpie fine point black Permanent Marker on a clean flat playslip and make sure all of my markings are within the proper number square and they are the proper amount. This may take a little extra time, but it saves time when my slips run first time every time with no rejections. Being a system player, I can't just mark any number when one is not or void any board that have too many marks.

For those player who can't take the time to make out a play slip correctly, there's QPs. I th... [ More ]

I feel that they need to come up with a new lottery scanners, in stores...Because filling out the lottery bet slip is time consuming. I've heard that you must use a special brand of pencil or the machine will not pick it up...They should come up with a Gun scanner where people can draw the numbers 1-2-5 for example, and the scanner will scan it the same way gun scanners scan food products...I call it a gun scanner but is the one with the horizontal red lazer/line that you scan from top to bott...
