is it luckier to buy tickets on the rich side of town?Reply
Brock Lee, This one might make people 'luckier', not blocking others from getting to a lottery machine because you put money in it and are using the front of the machine to scratch the instant ticket you bought.

Cash4life is coming to an end in two days. Truly the end of an era.Reply
Apparently they are continuing to update the databases for both the p3 and p4 . They are posting on the NM website and charging for tickets the machine won't print. If a clerk is unaware then the slip is fed in t h e machine and charges for a ticket the the system won't print.

Illinois lottery player has surprise run-in with grandma at the store, wins $1 million in PowerballReply
Nice win but I hardly think running into your grandmother in a convenience store when she obviously lives in the area can be considered a good luck charm and the reason he won. Unless it was a quick pic. Then the time he took to chat with her enabled the lottery machine to circulate it's tumblers at the right time to give him the winning ticket.

Three $1 million winning Powerball lottery tickets sold at the same New York storeReply
I'm sure the lottery already looked at the stores security cameras along with ticket print times to know if it was only one person or not. Not sure if New York has vending lotto machines, but I had a issue once with a Michigan Lottery vending machine and customer support looked up the transaction from the last 4 digits of my debit card. The Lottery knows but there not going to give that info out for security reasons.

Lottery vending machine
Never encountered this before, put dollar bills in for ticket cost, machine gobbled up the play slip. This machine has gobbled up currency before but a play slip? So I just hit the button for a QP for the same game, first two numbers were the same as those on the play slip.

Thief steals $27,000 worth of Pennsylvania Lottery tickets from gas stationReply
The barcode on the back of the ticket is there just to tell the cash register what this is and how much it costs. The vending machine doesn't do that because it already knows what you're buying and how much it costs. The same is true for vending machines that sell anything else. When you buy a Coke from a vending machine, it doesn't scan the barcode.

Thief steals $27,000 worth of Pennsylvania Lottery tickets from gas stationReply
Though it has been years since I purchased a scratch ticket, cashier would flip it over and scan the barcode on the back. Like I said a few weeks ago watched the Manager load the self service machine. She scanned one barcode to activate the whole package. Mistakenly before that thought the machine activated them @ purchase.

Player has fine tuned which tickets he buys and where he buys them from By Kate Northrop A Maryland man says it was dumb luck that he ended up winning a $50,000 scratch-off prize from the same lottery vending machine he had won at earlier this year.

Is there any method or system that can an predict the first digit that will fall in Pick 3Reply
How long would it take to print every Powerball ticket? AI Overview Printing every possible Powerball combination (over 292 million) using a single, standard lottery machine would take roughly 3,000 days or over 8 years . Even if printing 10,000 combinations per hour, the time required, combined with the 2-3 day window between drawings, makes it impossible for one person to buy all combinations. Key Takeaways Total Combinations: 292,201,338. Time Calculation: Assuming 1
