Well Tx just replaced the terminals across the state with new models. Might be a good question to email the lottery commission for a reason. See if they answer with some BS.

You've mentioned about paper leaving dust that happened to me awhile back. This clerk took forever to scan my slips, kept on running it 30x finally he bust open the unit and see why it's not accepting the slip. Upon opening the cover, there were tons of dusts, not the ones you find in the vacumm but white dusts from paper. The edges must shred off a bit each time it went through and accumulate over time. lol

Yes, I have the feeling that they have such policy to eliminate anyone from hogging t... [ More ]

Hi, I use this Printer to print Lottery Slips...DCP-7040 Brother Printer and it works pretty good for me and has been a year now and have not had any problems.

GoodLuck.

There are more or less 2 kinds of ink, the liquid one on injet printers and the powder one used on laser printers, I am not sure which of them is the one that they claim that might damage the playslip scanners, maybe the powder ink is the one, no matter what kind of ink is used, the playslips always produce and leave a lot of paper dust inside the machine that scans and prints the playslips, the inside of those machines have to be cleaned every so often, I don't know why ink of any kind will be...

Strange policy. They should have a machine that is like a scanning machine, just place the tickets in as many as it can fit on the scanner bed and the software automatically recognize the tickets and its marked combinations and print out the tickets for the players. No ink damange. Even lazer scanning like bar codes, lol. Something fast, accurate, and silence (O_o). We have the best technology in this day and age yet the state is worrying about ink on playslip messing up the machine.

The store gets some money for every lottery ticket that they sell, so it is unlikely that they would mind your buying hundreds of combinations each month, no matter how you fill them out.

They are right about Tx, I don't remember the reason, but think that it might have to do with the ink on the playslips getting in on the machine where the playslips are put in and doing something to the machine, but I think that it is a stupid reason and that maybe they just don't want people to buy hundreds...

I recall when the Texas lottery was new a group tried to buy every possible combination of numbers. This was at a time when the odds were much better and the jackpot was high. If I recall correctly, they spent millions of dollars and didn't win the jackpot. I think the rule is meant to prevent such schemes.

The Oklahoma lottery (I read through their rules once) prohibits a retailer from knowingly selling anyone a combination of tickets that would ensure a win (or something similar to that). T... [ More ]

Not a power ball player, sometimes I do buy a QP when it reaches a large jp but the odds

are just to great for me to attempt system play.

Have you ever checked the reason behind this restriction, seems a little odd to me. Maybe it is to avoid

someone claiming a misprinted ticket as a winner. I will have to check to see if MO. has such a rule but

this is the first time I have heard it.

Thanks

You might want to check with your state's regulations concerning playslips. I know that in Texas any slips that are filled in by printers or any other means than by hand are invalid. I'd hate for you to match the numbers and have a claim denied because of invalid playslips. If you do win, and your state prohibits non-hand-filled playslips, you might want to destroy all of your printed ones just in case there's suspicion and an investigation.

If I can find people for 1K tickets, I'll fill them out myself. Would take all day though...

but I wouldn't want to fill out the slips. and I don't do QP's

I have 3 different HP printers but they don't feed the tickets correctly. I was thinking that there must

be a printer that has an adjustment just for betstrips. I wrote a program to print the tickets but the

main problem with it was that each batch of tickets I would pick up are cut a little different. This places

the number blocks at a different position on the ticket top to bottom. What i started doing was getting

a whole package of about 500 bet slips at a time. If the feed... [ More ]

I need a printer to fill out the numbers not print the tickets, sorry for any confusion.

P.S. For examples, take the HP Link at the IBM site and search for PostScript.

I printed high quality payslips years ago programming in Postscript. Even dot-matrix printers with well inked ribbons filled the bill. Many printers understand it. Your software is the most important aspect of what you want to do. Have fun!

RL,

I don't use a printer at the moment, but I use to use an HP All-In-One. Don't remember model, but I'm sure they only improved the newer ones. The one I had worked great, with only one problem. Don't try printing 100's of tkts at same time.

Wat's the best printer to print play slips

RL-RANDOMLOGIC — Thu, 04 Aug 2011 11:57:09 GMT

I am getting ready to buy a new printer and wanted to ask if anyone here uses a printer

to print bet slips. The one I have now can print them out but makes mistakes and does

not feed properly. Any suggestions would be great but I would really like to find someone

who has used a brand/model with success.
