Oregon woman who doesn't check lottery tickets wins $1 million in raffleReply
Exactly. I'm baffled why they play the lottery. They would be better of donating to charity if they don't care about checking tickets.

Brings back the story of the guys in Mississippi when they started their lottery. They took two losing tickets and tried the same thing.

$1.08 billion Powerball lottery winner Yanira Alvarez filed claim for jackpot over five months agoReply
Retailers have security cameras and sometimes the machines themselves also have cameras. That would prove you bought the tickets even if you couldn't remember exactly where or when. Worst case scenario, if the lottery demanded an absurd level of precision that you couldn't provide, you could sue them to pay out the prize. I doubt they would refuse to pay out a prize because you couldn't remember whether or not you bought a bag of Cheetos with the ticket.

Maryland: 2/1 - 2/29/2024Reply
That's one reason I use the MD lottery my rewards . Initially I was using it to play the 2nd chance drawings but it also keeps a record of the loss tickets that are entered.

Ohio Lottery cashing services restored after 'cybersecurity incident' in DecemberReply
What does playing the lottery have anything to do with monitoring your credit report? Does the cameras on the machine know who exactly who you are when you purchase tickets? This doesn't exactly sound legit.

Virginia man wins second major prize in VA Lottery New Year's Millionaire RaffleReply
Virginia is a heavily populated state and a lot of people who do not usually play the lottery will instead buy raffle tickets. I have had a lot of coworkers ask me about the raffle over the years. The tickets seem to be gone by 12-21 usually. I doubt they have issues selling them. Some people just wait till the last minute to buy them.

Virginia man wins second major prize in VA Lottery New Year's Millionaire RaffleReply
Yes, every year I notice that as well. I believe the VA lottery waits until a certain date before the raffle drawing and whatever raffle tickets that are not sold, they take them out of circulation and say that the tickets have been sold out. No way, if there are 20K raffle tickets left 2 or 3 days before the drawing, that they will be sold out that fast at $20 a ticket

California couple face felony charges for stealing $135 worth of Iowa Lottery ticketsReply
My question is, were they only able to get the scratch off tickets that lay loose at the bottom of the lottery kiosk machine, once opened. It is odd that they were only able to get scratch tickets totaling $135. All that trouble for that small amount of money.
