Connecticut Lottery launches new system, players unable to check ticketsNews Story
Players and retailers vent frustrations By Kate Northrop On Sunday, the Connecticut Lottery launched a new statewide retail system that was years in the making, but the change has left some players and retailers frustrated. All 2,900 Connecticut Lottery retailers have officially been updated with a new statewide lottery system, but not everyone is finding the transition seamless. On May 21, 2023, the Lottery did away with its older Connecticut Lottery Corporation (CLC) system, wh

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

Michigan man buys last two scratch-off lottery tickets in store's roll, wins $4 millionReply
Eyes popped out when I read he gave the ticket to the clerk to check. Good thing clerk was honest, though it might be a newer machine where the amount won shows. In any case a nice way to finish off the year. Congratulations to him.

$1 BILLION: Historic Powerball jackpot draw set for MondayReply
I'm too lazy to go to the gas station and ask for a ticket and shade numbers Lol. I might try to buy 2 tickets at a time from the quickpick machine to see if it would give different numbers. I wonder if someone has won a jackpot using the quickpick machines since it gives the same number so multiple people win if ever.

$1 BILLION: Historic Powerball jackpot draw set for MondayReply
WA lottery quickpick machines are so bad at giving random numbers. I bought a 5-play $10 tickets and 3 lines have the same Powerball number. So, I bought another $2 ticket and the Powerball number that the machine gave was also the same number.

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

$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
