It happens. I don't know about as much as you say or think, but it does happen. And that's why you see no customers in the store; because they can't play because the machine is down. It resets eventually.

If you had the winning numbers ready to play, why didn't you go to another store

That sucks, especially since you probably need to go all the way to Syracuse to find another lottery retailer. Or you could come down to the mid-Hudson Valley area. I can probably count the number of times I've encountered a terminal that's not working on the fingers of the hand I stuck in a wood chipper.

Does that happen with other customers too? If so it's possible the clerk/owner at the time you try to play is anti-gambling, so they don't want to let you buy your tickets.

the only thing you can do is lodge a complaint with the ny lottery against this particular store and start buying you tickets elsewhere. this retailer obviously does not care enough about making sales to get his machine fixed. that's his problem, not yours.

On a number of occasions I've attempted to play the New York daily numbers, Only to be told by the retailer the machine is down . The fact of the matter is there is pattern to this response. If machine is down that many times the machine would be replaced. Also this has happened with little or no customers in the store. On one such occasion I had the winning number picked but the store owner came back with his''machine is down''.
