Nope, the machine in my (formerly) favorite lottery place just didn't like me. The owner is going through something and cursed me out after it got rejected three times in a row. I'm not gonna go back there.

If the playslip is rejected and no ticket is printed it doesn't count.

Gotta have that ticket for it to count.

Over the past week, I've had more then a dozen play slips get entered into the machine only to be rejected by it despite me doing nothing wrong. That got me thinking, are correctly filled out or even all filled out play slips counted by the machines even when no ticket is produced and no money given? If true, that might explain the missing Chino Hills winner, The missing Staten Island MM winner, and/or the other unclaimed prizes.
