Skyline sometimes has a way of asking a question and then disappearing.

Coin Toss said it best....someone's self pick could be someone else's qp.

You are correct. I think it's just an extra layer of security. The store clerks can do 3 things

They can scan the ticket (in MA only store clerks can scan the scratch offs too see if it's a winner),

They can read the ticket and see if your numbers match the winning numbers.

They can look at the code and see if it's a winning code. I often get code ten for a $10 win.

If I got this right, the code on all lottery tickets scratch - off is the 3 letter found in the winning area on all ticket. the letters on this ticket is [hun], or [hon] this is a hundred winning ticket. That what the retailer is reading, you such too. They're just running it through the ticket machine to see if it a true winner and have not been altered or tamper with in any way.

I bought a QP for MM this friday.

The code was 6 10 19 45 52 QP MB 3 QP MP No

Unfortunately the code only had one number correct.

I'm not sure if I'm helping or derailing the thread but in MA they have codes for scratch offs that win prizes of $500 and under. Below is an image I found online with the codes I'm talking about. The ohn stands for one hundred. I think the codes help the store clerks determine winners especially in complicated games such as Crossword and Bingo.

As far as quick picks codes in online games are concerned, this is new to me. Never heard about it

Not sure about any codes . Just under the game logo is the retailer number (RET# 134095-00) which is the store where I buy my tics in Texas.

At the bottom on the left just above the barcode there are always 6 numbers such as 014455. These numbers are not the same on different tics. Then across on the right just above the barcode there are a series of numbers that always start with 9328-then 9 numbers that are different on each tic, then a dash, then 6 numbers that are different on each tic. I... [ More ]

SkyLine69, when people tell you to eliminate a quick pick number, is because you all ready have that, if it one of your picks to play for that day, then you invest a little more on that quick pick number. Other wise move on to the other numbers you like for that day. Now, as far as pick a scratch offs by zip code. You're about to really tick- off some Retailer, big time! Think about it. The average store has about 50 or more scratch off ticket usually in a case on the counter, about 20 others be... [ More ]

I'm not sure if this is what you're talking about but if I remember correctly from selling tickets there are 3 numbers followed by a dash with a bunch of other numbers.

Like 723-12947585638

The first 3 numbers indicate the store and the numbers after those are something else about the store,forgot now.

What is that about the zip code? Never heard of that. I do know that when you see that extra little colored line on the scratch offs, it usually indicates a winner. Have seen that countle... [ More ]

Has anyone noticed a codes or references when one buys a QP? I've heard some folks say if you get a QP you can eliminate pkaying those numbers on your play slip which I know is bogus I'm just curious if anyone has come up with anything like you can do on a scratch offs by using the zip code when you purchase at your store
