Splitting tickets between multiple retailersReply
ditto. I change who I buy from and when if I am doing real bad, for whatever reason, thinking it will change my bad luck, sometimes it does, but I don't think I can attribute it to just switching vendors, but you never know.

Not all Retailers Pay Out to $599Reply
There are several places in my area, all of them quick marts that won't pay out the high cash despite the state requiring all vendors of lottery tickets to do so if it's under $600. I won $250 once and the cashier literally had a fit when I told him he had to honor it. He started screaming in front of everyone and told me to get the money from the state office. The excuse was they didn't have the money available. So why sell the tickets then? Must be they don't expect anyone to actually win.

What Would Be An Ideal Lottery?Reply
How about a lottery where the prizes wouldn't be cash, but material prizes instead? It could be any lottery or even an instant scratch off ticket. With the instant ticket, you can scratch off for a chance to win a car or a new home, and smaller prizes could range from an air conditioner, a tv set, an Ipod, etc. It would also serve as a source for advertising for the vendors. Not sure how it would work with the government lottery though. Maybe it could be a totally different type of lottery, not

What state uses what terminal?Reply
I would be more than happy to help out. I also can indentify scratch-off manufacturers merely by looking at the ticket. But keep in mind many lotteries use several manufacturers to make the tickets. New Jersey, for example, most of their tickets come from Pollard Banknote and their plant in Michigan, but they also buy tickets from the other 3 instant manufacturers in the US, Scientific Games, Oberthur, and Creative Games (based in my hometown of Plant City, FL). So if you want document insta

Hoosier Lottery Email responseReply
Jake,You're correct for everyday citizens, but you seemed to skip over the part that says unless that business is permitted under an agreement between the states in question or appropriate authorities of those states. The lottery laws enable vendors to use common carriers to ship tickets and other paraphernalia to retailers.Besides, that law you are quoted is not the USPS law, it is a federal gambling law, which does not operate in isolation. It exists within a legal framework that allows the

Hoosier Lottery Email responseReply
Scientific Games, as well as the other vendors and the state lotteries, send their tickets through carriers like UPS, not through the USPS, so this particular law would not apply.Also, since you're in Canada, not the United States, this law doesn't apply to you, so I can see where it would be easy for you to recommend that other people break this law.I have a hard time understanding why a certain small group of people in this thread are advocating breaking the law.However, I'm just going to stop

Irish Lottery played from the UK?Reply
Hi Paul762 The definitive answer is YES.It is legal to play the official Irish Lotto in the UK. You do not have to reside in the Republic of Ireland to legally play and claim a prize. In fact you can play anyway in the world but obviously you must comply with all laws governing your state and country.The problem is that their ticket vendors only reside in the Irish Republic. So unless you're going take a ferry every Saturday you need to find a reputable and honest third-party postal or online ag

computers record the combinations playedReply
recoding the combinations played is invasion of privacy and cheating. all thats needed is a encrypted serial number placed with each ticket to validate that ticket. you can call any vendor who manufactures any rng or ball machine to verify this. recording numbes played is not needed for security reasons at all. the tickets themselves are made of certain fibers and have hidden words and stuff within the entire ticket fibers. the machine pint head also is a special print head which is made for lot
