Iowa man denied $100,000 lottery win because he's underageReply
While it's illegal for someone under 21 to purchase an Iowa Lottery ticket,--isn't it then illegal for the retailer to sell a lottery ticket to someone under 21? Did they check to see if he was 21 before the sale? Is the retailer going to be prosecuted for under-age sale?

Illinois Lottery is not paying, but people are still playingReply
because the state doesnt pay the $600 payouts, the retailer does. and the rules states claims under 600 can be claimed at a retailer. Im sure if you went to ,llotto HQ they would hand out an IOU

Lawsuits against lottery playesReply
Again it depends on the laws determined by state legislators. Apparently there is no law in California preventing a lottery retailer from entering into a written agreement over ownership of a ticket. Basically you're asking for more laws to protect ignorant people from making terrible decisions. I want this retailer to end up shutting down his liquor store operation for good. If you have proof that retailer violated the conditions of being a lottery retailer, turn that into the Californi

On the web code? It is likely an identifier for the retailer. I can't really disclose how the web code is generated but it consists of a number of elements including the retailer ID. I haven't personally gotten a chance to examine tickets to identify each element though.

Sorry for the confusion, I meant to say that the requirements to be considered a Lucky Retailer has been lowered this year. On the website there will be more retailers popping up as a Lucky Retailer. Prior to the change, a Lucky Retailer is a retailer that has sold at least 2 $1 million prizes in the form of draw games or scratchers. Now it is a retailer that sold at least 1 $100,000 prize or average $4000 a week in prizes or 400 winning tickets. http://www.calottery.com/lucky-retailers/lu

I read the winner story again and when I read the part about the clerk screaming/hugging the winner, I just realize the retailer (not the clerk, who is just happy for them in the spur of the moment) will not get the $5000 (or 1/2 percent comission) for selling the ticket. Not too beneficial for the retailer to offer this game other than the high sales rate.

Va. store owner sells $3 million lottery ticket to herselfReply
No law or contractual agreement with the lottery against a retailer playing the lottery. The business entity that is listed as the retailer that sold the ticket is certainly entitled to any lottery bonus that goes along with that winning ticket. If she is sole owner of the store, then essentially she would get the bonus, which I think she should.

I may be wrong, I think a Lucky Retailer is considered to be a retailer that has sold at least 2 winning draw game or scratcher prize of $1 million or more. That is the reason it is seldomly updated, chances of that happening are so slim

That's the thing about new games. When they first come out, flood the market, and with typical high sales for new games, it's likely there are a couple top prizes in circulation at retailers. You never know when one can be found, it could be real quick. Later on many months later, sales are slower and there may only be 1 top prize in retailers at a given time.(the rest at the warehouse) But actually, right now is about the right time for 1 to be claimed, sales wise. The game itself is about 9

200 Winning Pick 3 TicketsReply
$600 or less can be redeemed at any retailer. $5,000 or less can be redeemed at the agent plus locations. Any thing over that you have to go one of the 2 lottery offices. If the retailer has the cash they will cash as much as you have in winners. If they don't, the stores I go to will ask me to come back the next day and they will cash them.
