Lottery machines cut tickets at the wrong placeReply
I've seen it a few times, but not that bad, only like 1/8 off, so I let it go. Wondered how much it would take for the lotto to declare a ticket void? These machines do not seem to be high precision instruments, or at least not well maintained. Or could just be clerk loading sloppiness, the same clerks who sometimes load the ticket roll backwards starting with high ticket numbers instead of 000. One time I dropped $20 in a machine and it would not give me the last $5 ticket, or any other t

PA Lottery Pay Day Ticket. Has anyone else had this happen?
Here's the deal. At work today, I bought a Pay Day ticket from the vending machine. Absolutely none of the surface had been scratched off. I scratched it, and it was a $10 winner. I went to cash it in at the end of my day, and the machine said it had already been cashed. I went to a convevnience store and got the same message. I'm waiting to hear from the lottery on this, since it may have happenend to someone else.

Thanks cape will do! maze is fun game, requires no thinking at all my kind of game. After that 5k hit do you go back to playing that ticket or is there a cool down period? Do you prefer to buy a ticket from a machine or from a person? I feel my big hits come from a machine. I'm buying that $20 crossword game in the name of research so hopefully I'll get an answer soon.

Vending Machine vs. Counter ScratchersReply
here in Florida you can ask the desk clerk to check the game by it's location on the machine and they can pull up what the ticket # is on and how many are left.. I do all the time when I buy from the machine. In my experience it makes no difference buying a ticket from the counter or the machine. Just a person's preference.

LMAO !!!!!!! Was at Publix this morning and bought ONE GRD loser from the machine - an elderly woman was watching me .. and asked with a deep foreign accent is it luckier to buy from the machine or a quick pick ? I explained that quick pick was for different games not for scratchoffs - she said when she bought her ticket a few minutes ago she told the clerk to pick a 10 dollar ticket for her - he did it quickly and I thought it was a quick pick ...

Post your scratch ticket resultsReply
Nice win. I am unable to see it though. This ticket caught my eye at the machine. Got the last (2) Instant Millions from counter and put $5 in the machine. It just felt right. ticket 000. $45 in and yet to scratch the rest, so it seems we might have both hit a decent PA day....

well the story just broke on FL LOT website - what I was told at the BEE RIDGE Publix the night I bought a couple tickets from the machine turned out differently - When I bought my tickets that day from the machine at BEE RIDGE the clerks were all excited and told me a guy just bought a big winner from the machine right after I bought - turns out the win was bought at a different PUBLIX in Sarasota - seems the same 60 year guy won $1M twice - I remember a big win from a couple years ago at a pla

LOL. I feel the same way. I've been doing it with Lucky Money as well since it started and have only won $5. I wondered how the number system worked too since it's random but I just go with the flow. I mean since it's only a buck and ends in a few weeks (well the double payout promotion does) I would keep playing it. The only thing that worries/worried me when I play it is some person behind the counter seeing I wont a ez match for a good amount and tries to keep my ticket or something. Before I

Today 8-11-2016 marks an end to NY's game 596 1 million a year for lifeReply
If they decide to come up with this game again it would be Lower odds like the spectacular vs 20$ life which including some it changed 3 times! They might not change the jp amount if they increase the odds of winning. Some retailer will sell broken tickets meaning out of order that is a reason it was never won! Can they return broken tickets? When you have broken ticket book you have a greater chance the ticket will get misplaced! Also retailer do put a scratch able ticket in the ticket display

oops I did it again. i spent more than i planned and failed to use any strategy, just impulse buying, with terrible results. yesterday evening I went to one of my locations I'll call location #1 a drugstore vending machine with a hi ticket turnover. The machine goes throught a 20$ pack of 30 tickets every 3 days while location #2 of the same drugstore will take 2 months to sell a 30 ticket pack. I purchased two extreme green #13 and #12 both losers. then I bought two max million #6 and #7 bot
