The bald head guy won the jackpot, but the dog got the 5 of 5. Rover will be using his win to support animal shelters around the state

Half way around the world in Asia, a gaming epidemic is out of control. The culprit ? Sports Betting. NBA and NCAA. Its Americas top export. Students are skipping class, wagering their tuitions, dropping out of school to steer clear of the enforcers, bankrupting parents who pays up.

Same concept as beer and liquor stores that border dry areas. The store isn't particulalrly big, but here's a google street view of one in the middle of nowhere, on the Kentucky/Tennessee border.

Man, with all those scratch machines, you'd think they have tons of big winners.

Last year, they were among the top stores for number of winners with 23, but not the highest, and did not exceed 5 figures in total. This is their $600 winners for all of 2012:

prize_amount product_name

$1,000 WILD 10'S

$1,000 WILD 10'S

$1,000 DOUBLE MATCH

$1,000 $250 MILLION CASH SP

$15,000 5 TIMES THE CASH

$1,000 WILD 10'S

$999 FIND THE 9'S

$1,000 Mega Crossword... [ More ]

This is an open invitation for the Slot machine hacker to re-engineer his light wand. I have seen this machines spit out multiple $10 tickets on a single bet. I am sure he can work his magic on these.

Also sad to say, these machines cannot and will not card the user. I am witness to juveniles who hang around this machines in our stores.

Prior to Primm the only lottery action available to people in Las Vegas and Southern Nevada was in a little town called Nipton, a few miles off of I-15. Nipton got quite a bit of play before Primm opened.

Until Primm, the law in California to sell lotto was you had to be an established business at the same location for 5 years.

Primm built the hotel - casino on the border, put the gas station / conveniece store on the California side of the border and was selling lotto right away. Ahem.

I'm wondering if any of them work.

I visited 3 this morning, and none would take the play slip. The 4th one was completely out of service. Ended up having to go to a clerk. This happens way too much here with the machines we have. I finally learned that smart players try to insert the play slip BEFORE you put your money in, or you end up buying something you don't want. Also, have an extra play slip filled out because some machines will eat them.

thro i much perfer the newer ones that let u play pb/mm / touch screen etc.

then simple pay and drop of a instant cards like candy ones.

rip the store clerks , joking aside, i would enjoy seeing that kind of setup in more border town stores.

i know one of these robot terms sold a winning pb ticket at a airport up in east coast.

i want more of them

That's quite impressive. I visited a liquor store out in San Leandro once, they have 4 machines going full bore.Apparently they have had 4 Jackpot winners in the past 10 years. People flock to the place like flies to honey.

Unfortunately there are still some rude clerks at that location ... I go there to play all the time and I think its set up that way to accommodate the LARGE amount of people like myself that come from Las Vegas and neighboring parts of Nevada. I've gone into other parts of Cali and they're pretty much like the stores in NY/NJ with one or two machines and then the counter and the typical 7-11. Boy I miss my fave 7-11 ...

There are row after row of self service machines for scratch tickets, lotto tickets and winning ticket scanners. I don't know if I am allowed to mention the name of the store but it is a lotto super store at the border of California and Nevada. Nevada doesn't sell lottery so Nevadans who live at the border usually flock to the store to buy tickets especially when the jackpot hits a large amount of money.
