Accidental lottery ticket purchase nets Maryland couple $2 million in PowerballReply
Not sure if your comment was directed to me and I don't know what some of your acronyms mean (WOF, IGT etc) I'm currently in Texas, a huge lotto state and it's shocking how out of shape these machines are and how unreliable they are. I've lost money by the machines double printing tickets either from me pressing the push buttons or using my app QR code. This happens over and over again at multiple machines and I've contacted the lottery and they are very non chalant, we appreciate your feed

California man asks clerk to choose a lottery game for him, ends up picking out a ticket worth $10MReply
It is one of the reasons I always fill out cards to play. I do not want to feel obligated to some convenience store clerk because he happened to push a button at the right time on a lottery machine. A millisecond makes all the difference when you ask for a quick pic. I never do scratches but I would recommend asking for a particular ticket rather than have it chosen for me. These clerks look like you are asking them to perform heart surgery if you want something out of the ordinary from them to

Accidental lottery ticket purchase nets Maryland couple $2 million in PowerballReply
Yes, the message was meant for you. IGT=International Gaming Technology; WOF=Wheel of Fortune. Our machines also have a total touch screen but no replay feature per se. If you win I think under $50 it asks if you want credit or delete. One game, Cashball 225 you may win a free ticket here and there and it'll print a new ticket with different #'s. Here when you call the KY help desk it really goes to RI IGT service center and I think it got cut down to 7 states. They are very good and hav

Six gang members arrested for stealing $50,000 worth of lottery tickets in two statesReply
What other form of lottery tickets can you steal? I suppose you could direct the machine to print out multiple quick picks.. If everything was on.. But (I assume) that would be pretty easy to catch -- ticket was sold while store was closed -- should be an easy search So.. Pretty much a meaningless crime.. Unless they manage to sell unscratched tickets to other people

Michigan man wins record $503,254 Club Keno prizeReply
Next town over there is a fast order restaurant that sells Keno. Three lottery machines are there where you can play and a huge monitor displaying the results as they occur. Today @ a pizza place in Louisville, KY, soon as you walk in there are play slips for Keno. They also have a very small serve lottery machine. So played Keno on that letting the computer pick the #'s, $10 ticket for about five draws and won $5. Looking around each side of the restaurant had big LED monitors that sho

Lottery ticket sold in Illinois wins $560 million Mega Millions jackpotReply
Great points taken. Didn't quite understand about different noises that machines make then say that thermal printers are silent. My home state was the last (MA) to get rid of noisy, dot matrix printers. Not sure where the machine that printed that $787 or so million dollar ticket from near W. MA went, but she was making tghe rounds years ago. I agree with you on CA lottery and Todd reminded me of their law for pari-mutuel payouts. Had sent an email vs regular mail months ago asking them to g

$1.08 billion Powerball lottery winner Yanira Alvarez filed claim for jackpot over five months agoReply
Do they expect someone to remember where and when he/she bought every ticket? Did you notice the part that said If details about the purchase don't line up, this could be cause for further investigation ? They expect people who won very large sums of money to remember some of the details, but if you don't they'll normally just look at it a bit more closely. There's a big difference between establishing that the claimant is the owner and establishing that the claimant isn't the owner, so unl

Oregon woman who doesn't check lottery tickets wins $1 million in raffleNews Story
Winner would have forgotten to check tickets if it weren't for Powerball By Kate Northrop An Oregon woman admitted that if it weren't for Powerball making headlines, she would not have thought to check an Oregon Lottery Raffle ticket that turned out to be worth $1 million. If it were not for seeing Powerball come up in the news, an Oregon woman would not have bothered to check her stack of lottery tickets, one of which held the winning numbers for a $1 million prize.
