Never really played any lotto games but I work in a store that sells lotto. Despite living in a state where lotto is not all that popular, I became interested in learning about the different games in order to answer customers questions. After looking at the odds and payouts of all the the lotto game (powerball, state lotto, scratch tickets, ect.) I started playing Pick 3 quick picks. The randomness is fun, but the great odds with fair payouts won me over. The game seems to me like slot machine m

Sorry to hear about this... checking the history around the 525C; 447C 3 times, 292 once, and lol 978 once. Midday playing 447W, 229W, 798. Unreal on mega millions now with 75 #'s; I stopped buying my one ticket to be in it... odds of hitting $500, is now 1 in 52,835... checked this the other day... knew I saw that 835 somewhere. Dang with the 3D @ least u would hit for about $26,000 buying 5

nooooo, don't do that, bad Karma.....chalk it off as an experience. Just happened to me the other day. well not the same thing. i played frenzy scratch offs and have already hit it for 500 a few times. i stopped where i always do a small cleaners store. not many know there is lottery in there. i played a lot of frenzies there one or two a day (winning nothing) and i knew it was due. i can see by the ticket numbers that no one was playing it. well i went in last saturday and played my regular num

A number of stores here in the Pgh. area have gone to the form only system. I don't like it because most of the time I pick them while I'm standing there. My usual stop has NEVER had a problem. With me anyway. The guy can run the register and the lotto machine at the same time. They have a lot of traffic. This little beer distributor probably doesn't have that many people come in and the girl wasn't that bright to begin with. I should have been on my guard when, after I told her super straigh

716 -- Hmmmmm. I accidentally played my 316 ticket 2 times in the machine (at 5 tix each). Bummer--I could have had a r-e-a-l-l-y nice day! This is Vergie6's good old 16 pair . I could hear her and the Fat Cat's voice the versy instant that last digit popped up. Good luck to all! We will win!

Sorry to hear about the bee sting! ouch :( I had no idea that you could replay a ticket at the vending machine! What else am I missing at the vending machine? hmm.... I'll be taking a closer look. I bought a quick-pick for Wild Card at the vending machine yesterday, and one today, but I tend to use the ones at Albertsons. Never have had a problem there. Good luck to you too!

I was just going to replay a ticket using the vending machine, but the bar code scanner wasn't working. I swear every time I go in either that scanner doesn't work or the play slip reader is broken, or they're out of paper to print tickets or SOMETHING. When the line at CS is short I'll go over there and tell them about the machine, but it doesn't seem to get fixed anyway so not worth waiting in line to do. My money was already in when I discovered it didn't work, so I was forced to buy a scr

HoLeeKau! Long time, no see. You have a lot of patience to buy tickets at Fred Meyer. There is always a line at Customer Service, anytime I'm there. I wish we could punch in our own numbers on a machine and that machine could just spit out a ticket for us. Is that too much to ask, dear Lottery Commission? I also wish we could purchase tickets online, like some states offer.

you did get the right amount, seeing that you had it (50x50) which pays $40 for each box hit. In the future you can scan your own ticket at the machine which every retailer has, it will tell you the payout amt. 6 way means the 710 can be played 6 possible ways, and you had it two of those ways that why you get $80 total.

quote from cymbermoss in parenthesees ( have hit 4 times this month. 2 times str. Guess where i got the numbers from. the 3 digits they use to verify your winning 1$ scratch off tickets . 5 years ago i used the same method and hit ever other day for two months.) It would be funny if you won on 465 on the daytime draw! 465 is the 3 digit verification number they've been putting on the big-size display one dollar tickets on some of the lotto machines. The day I played 466 on daytime I remember
