a type of player that made me mad was the type that don't use the playslips for the daily number and big 4, wouldn't check the tickets, and would get mad at me if their ticket was wrong, regardless of if they gave me the number they wanted. every time, i would explain to them about the playslips and how they make sure the customers get the numbers they want without the retailers having to cancel the tickets. i'm happy when the PA lottery made it so jackpot game tickets couldn't be canceled. b...

in PA, they can pay you at the retailer up to $2500.... tey will write you a check for the bigger amounts right up to 2500... My grandfather played a number years back several times straight and boxed for .50 each... the retailer cut him checks for each 2500 straight hit and paid him cash for the boxed hits. Had he played them st/box for $1, he would have had to claim them at a regional lottery office... he was a wise man

Doesn't tenn have a void time limit. I have had tickets voided in N.Y. as well as S.C. or are these for jackpot games. We have 15 minutes to void out Cash 3 mistakes.. but Powerball tickets cannot be voided. So it is in play.. What we cannot sell.. which are few, our boss eats the cost. She just checks them once a week and collects on the winners and throws the losers out..

The people who buys the one SCRATCH OFF ticket at a time are the people I was referring to. They stay hours buying only one dollar ticket at a time. I have no problem with the one POWERBALL ticket customers.. Heck I only buy one set of lines at a time.. unless I buy a boo boo.... The boo boos seem to pay off more.. guess because some person rejected the ticket after it was printed.. One lady won $100 on a boo boo...

The tight wads who never play until the lotto hits $100 million and then run around acting like they spent their last dime on the lotto or they're doing something great for society.

Tntea,I can see where you are coming from on most of your points except one.....and that is only playing one ticket. Many people (incl. me) have a limited lottery budget; many people just want to be in the drawing for one chance out of 130 million to score the jackpot. Why spend more than $1 playing against those rediculous odds against you? All it takes is one winning ticket from one customer for the rewards to come to the establishment that sold that ticket. There are many winners of jackp... [ More ]

Don't hate the players...I play my pick a few days beforehand so if someone is camping out I have the option to leave and play the next day.

There's also the fact that they are rich too, and don't really need the money that gets to me.

The people who ask for the cash option when they are at the machine, buying Powerball tickets really get to me.

Ok. This is a good one, especially for those who operate a lottery machine.
