Lottery RIGGING !!Reply
Yea the information may be cool. But unless you work for a retailer. Your not going to be able to walk into the store and ask the owner what the payout information on his scratch books are.There's all kinds of corruption and nobody said that the lottery cant be rigged. If a retailer has privileged information and gets caught selling whole books of potentially large jackpot winners then he/she might end up in some hot water themselves.

Ohio Lottery Retailer Facts.
Here are a few facts about Ohio Lottery retailers, as well as a few facts about Ohio i got from the ohio lottery and the census.- Meigs county has 556 lottery retailers, but only one police officer due to the poor economy, and a population of 23,072.- Athens county only has 53 retailers and a larger population.- Logan County only has 287 retailers and a slightly bigger population.- Marietta, OH has only 28 retailers with a bigger population.And they say that the lotery doesn't target the poor, a

Lottery Player Types.Reply
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!

Can Free Ticket redeem for Cash? (CA)Reply
Must be legal because the retailer I buy from lets anyone trade in Scratcher free tickets for equivalent cash. I think it depends on how stingy the retailer is. Some are so hell-bent on following rules that they won't do it I suppose.

Bogus TV News DrawsReply
there are too many places to check...Internet (lottery websites for the states and right here at the LP), newspaper, T.V. (news and actual drawings... not around for a draw? TiVO !), retailer...I never discard tickets until I check them at the websites (PA lottery at http://www.palottery.com and Powerball at http://www.powerball.com ) AND at the retailer. I also watch the PB drawings on their website (and on TiVO when I can't be there to watch live).

Dealer displayReply
Which lottery? From what I recall, some lotteries restrict how instant lottery tickets are sold; sequentially in ascending or descending order with no skips. First to digress a bit, retailers have detailed information that the public at-large doesn't have. For example, in PA, a retailer can know whether 90% of lower tier winners have been redeemed out of an instant ticket pack. From my limited understanding, will show up as auto-settled on the retailer's report. While such knowledge is of lim

so when you say "validate" a ticketReply
If you have a prize under $600, then just cash it in at a local retailer. I go to the large supermarkets where I know they'll have the money. Although every retailer is supposed to pay you, there are many who are reluctant to do so. Some people on this board have written that they have to pay you if they sell lottery tickets, but that's not entirely true. Depends on the circumstances. Although it clearly says to take your ticket to any lottery retailer, there is a disclaimer (at least in the FL

Looking for my stolen ticket
Well, I proved that a clerk had stolen my winning ticket, after she told me it was not a winner. Then changed it to a dollar winner when I wanted it back. The Retailer has never had my validated ticket or cash authorization receipt, no ticket information was ever sent to Sacramento and recorded.This broke Lottery rules. But, here is the kicker. The Retailer was on the ballot for `the state wide school board election. So it was determined that I didn't matter. The Lottery has flat out lied to me.

Do You Play By Subscription?Reply
New Hampshire offers subscriptions to out of state residents for Hot Lotto, Tri State Megabucks, PB and MM. You would need to go to any retailer in the state and buy the subscription. The retailer prints out a ticket and a form to mail in. The state will mail you your check after you accumulate $10 in winnings. Massachusetts also sells the subscription at the retailer and prints out the form for their Megabucks doubler game, PB, MM and Lucky for Life. I believe Megabucks is the only game the

Lawsuits against lottery playesReply
If only it was that simple. Signing the back designates a claimant, it doesn't mean they have rights to all the winnings. Office pools are a prime example. And for instant winner terminal games, which some lotteries offer, a winning ticket may immediately print out of the terminal. In those instances, the player has no opportunity to sign the ticket until the lottery retailer hands it over to them. This is where trust is extra important, because the lottery retailer could claim the ticket was
