Actually that would be dishonest and karma would probably come back 10 times worse and costs you even more than you think you would get over on. Always happens

Oh my, that sounds like a lot of work. I guess it depends on how many tickets were purchased. Why go through all that trouble to be reimbursed five or ten bucks - if that's the amount to be reimbursed.

Vendors should be able to reimburse their customers for tickets purchased that cannot be scratched and they should also be responsible for not selling any tickets from any pack when a customer claims that they're unable to scratch even one ticket.

I think it has something to do with them being exposed to air for a long time. What a way to play for free though

That makes no business sense but hey like you said it's a win win for you. Had I known this I would have sat on a bunch of tickets until they got 'stale' and couldn't be scratched. I know for next time

NYS lottery got back to me and stated that all tickets that you are unable to scratch make a copy front and back and send them to the NYS Lottery headquarters and if it is a winning ticket they will pay me and if they are losing tickets they will reimburse me the amount I paid for the tickets. Either way for me it is a win-win thank you NYS Lottery

Photocopy, sign, send the via certified mail. The NY Lottery knows if they are winners. I had some winners that didn't have the barcode due to the vendor tearing them off unevenly but was able to mail them in.

I am wonder what people do when their scratch off card does not scratch. I have a few cards here that will not scratch. Usually I would use a razor blade and that works very well but for some reason these cards will not scratch at all not even the 4 digit number to verify.
