What a coincidence, I'm applying for a patent on Kielbasa Kiosks first thing in the morning.

We just have to work a few bugs out and we'll have them in every major city.

We're just having a minor little problem with the automatic Grey Poupon dispenser right now.

It squirts it in your eyes instead of on the Kielbasa.

This would be a good time for savvy investors to get in on the ground floor.

Anyway Maryland the land of the concentrated libbies all in 3 districts the rest aren't has those machines already, they know how to market and sell the lots to masses w/no cleric necessary! Touch screens for ALL the games. Pumpi pump up another one been done already.

the last phone booth i saw in Baltimore one you could atctually sit in was taken to a museum that was in 1983. The other style the ones the drunks and junkies used as a bathroom or sleepover have all disappeared. Now your extremely lucky if you see a pay phone hung on a wall anymore.

Let's modify Pumpi's idea, get John Titor's time travel machine (he's the guy from 2036) and put it next to the lottery booths.

We can then time travel to the next drawing, come back and play those numbers!

Maybe such a combined machine could be called the Pumpitron Experimental 223

X-Ray Zulu !

Once upon a time under the blistering sun in the middle of the Mojave desert stood a lone phone box, ringing and ringing and ringing

Digital terminals where you can buy an unlimited amount of tickets are going to be anywhere we currently see ATM machines which just means all grocery stores and convenience stores. The reason we won't see widespread adoption of cell phone and state recognized online play is the money it would drain away from local business. Digital terminals would remedy this and probably draw even more business....

Pumpi is at it again.

There ain't no phone booths anywhere anymore, but you make a signal fire and using the morse code order the lottery tickets from the state lottery, tell the lottery that you will pay them as soon as you make and sell some Fire Water and or get enough snake skins to sell.

As to the banjo, Can you sing and play Oh, Susannah

It starts like this:

I come from Alabama

With my banjo on my knee

I'm going to Louisiana,

My true love for to see... [ More ]

They ain't no phone booths or pay phones anywhere back up in here.

And they ain't nobody got cell phones cuz they don't work up in here.

What we need is someway to get tickets with a banjo.

A good number of grocery stores (well I typically see them at Ralphs, CVS, and Food 4 Less) around here already have machines you can purchase lotto tickets/scratchers from. Just put in cash, scan your playslip or choose your numbers from the touchscreen, and out pops your ticket.

Phone booth? LOL. Hardly any left. Maybe in airports. Or the call boxes on the side of the road. Hey, while you're waiting for your car to be towed you can play keno every five minutes. Good way to pass the time.

I think pumpi might still have them in Central America. The closest thing resembling a phone booth I saw was an empty shell on a stand, no phone.

The next best thing I saw one day was the stand, the phone, the thick silver flexible cord...but no handset. Funny what losing some change

will do to a person.

we used to have phone booths in Mich, some how people thought they were ATMS that had to be cracked open with a hammer.

Cell phones have pretty much made phone booths obsolete. Here in florida, I would have to drive to the local Circle K convenience store or a 7-11 to find one. If i have to go to those places, then i might as well just go into the store and buy my tickets......lol

I don't think that would work pumpi, too many germs.

pumpi76 — Wed, 16 Feb 2011 04:23:40 GMT

What if phone booths became the new lottery retailer where you buy your tickets...You swipe your I.D card put in coins for the ticket or drop the dollar in something similar to a coin case and talk to an animated service on the phone and say which number you want to play...when the coin case is full someone comes and collects them, the same way they collect money on the phone booths....

when you win you go to a bank and withdraw/cash your lower prizes win...Your jaxkpot win you collect it at
