One ticket wins $15M Lotto Texas jackpotReply
For many years, the Texas Lottery s retailer bonus program has been an important retailer recruiting and retention tool for the sales organization to utilize. Decisions by the 85th Legislature and Governor on the FY 2018 2019 budget affect all aspects of the state s budget, including Texas Lottery operations. The $4.2 million annual retailer bonus budget was vetoed by the Governor and was zeroed out in the second year of the 2018 2019 biennium. The long-established bonus program will be phased

$75,000 California Lottery winner leaves with only $75Reply
The ticket was not real. It was never put out for sale. It was given to the inspector by the commission to test the retailer. It was not meant to entrap the retailer. But to see if the retailer would try to cheat the inspector.

Indiana man says store cost him $11.5M lottery jackpotReply
His lawyer is probably working on a contingency agreement. A third of $11.5 would make a nice pay day for him plus he would attract more clients who might want to sue retailers if they fail to win a lottery jackpot. Some years ago, a player sued a retailer and the Ohio lottery when he bought 20 Buckeye5 tickets with the same combination on each one and matched 5 which normally paid $100K each but there was a payout cap of $1M per drawing. Since there was one other winner he ended up getting 2

$800,000 lottery ticket now worthlessReply
Exactly what do you suppose the retailer should sue for? Following the rules? I've never quite understood why retailers are paid anything other than a modest processing fee for winning tickets (and such a fee should be paid to the retailer that pays the winning ticket rather than the retailer that sold it), but the rules are what the rules are. As far as giving the prize to a different player, why should they benefit just because somebody else lost out? If there were two winners, then the oth

Winning lottery ticket purchased with stolen credit cardReply
The difference between a credit card and a debit card is minimal; strictly an accouting seperation; one has an instant funds tranfer and the other has a delayed funds tranfer - with extended reimbursement option. Use, in most cases, is interchangeable. Only the intelligent retailer, the one looking to reduce their cost, questions their use. To the retailer, the fee for the debit option is cheaper; by as much as 15%. Most retailers prefer cards over cash. Safer, easier book-keeping, electronic t

Internet lottery game not popular with Kansas playersNews Story
Despite a redesign and humorous new commercials, the Kansas eScratch lottery game is still underwhelming players.The lack of success by the Kansas eScratch lottery game illustrates that lottery players do not want a game to be played on the Internet just for the sake of being an online game.Since May, when the game was relaunched and promoted heavily, sales have been 89 percent higher than last year.

Michigan Lottery selling scratch games after top prize goneReply
This here kind of reminds me of Pull-Tab games. Here in Ky you used to only be able to cash winning tickets in the store were the ticket was purchased. A few years back they changed it so you could cash them at any lottery retailer. I was told it was to make it easier for players to cash in winning tickets. Personally, I think it was done so that no one would know if the big prize was in the machine because it could be cashed anywhere. I've seen it before where a regular player would ask the
