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

Curious about Quick PicksReply
SkyLine69, when people tell you to eliminate a quick pick number, is because you all ready have that, if it one of your picks to play for that day, then you invest a little more on that quick pick number. Other wise move on to the other numbers you like for that day. Now, as far as pick a scratch offs by zip code. You're about to really tick- off some Retailer, big time! Think about it.

New lottery self serving lottery machinesReply
Every states seems to have their own system for Automatic Machine. For Instance in New Hampshire, they have almost all the existing systems available. They have the regular retailer computer system.

They have the regular self-service machine that sells Powerball, Megamillions, Tristate-Megabucks and Hot Lotto QP NO PICK 3/4 QP option, but it does take Pick 3/4 slip and they also got the scratch-off machine. In Vermont there's no automat

ny lottery retailers looking for handoutsReply
See, I personally never understood the whole retailer gets awarded thing. Why? They're doing their jobs. I don't get awarded at work for giving a patient the right food. If they want to win, they should wager their own money and give it a go, not wait for one of their customers to be successful and then beg for a tip. If it were me, I'd have called the lottery hotline while standing right there and reported the incident claiming that he asked for a tip (not allowed to) and that he basically thre

Sting nabs Minnesota lottery clerks stealing winning ticketsReply
I hope that while they are going through this process that they also note which retailers refuse to pay out the prize. There is nothing more aggravating than taking a winning ticket to a retailer only to be told we can't cash that ticket. If a store wants to be a lottery retailer, they should be required to cash all winning tickets less than $600, no ifs, ands, or buts. I couldn't agree more.My wife recently won $500 on a scratch off ticket and we spent most of the day and most of a

Splitting tickets between multiple retailersReply
Both Oregon and Washington allow lottery players to buy their tickets from vending machines. That's usually how I buy them. The machines themselves don't take photos of ticket buyers ... so, to hide your identity, it's a simple matter of knowing where the store's surveillance video cameras are located and not looking directly at them. Chip Polston, the PR honcho for the Kentucky Lottery Corporation, told me a story about one guy who really wanted to remain anonymous. Unfortunately for him, the r

TODD/BILLYLOCO-WHATS WRONG WITH THIS PICTURE?Reply
It's a pretty strange story, but here's how I understand it:The guy put the ticket in his pocket after finding it in the drawer, he then went to work. At that point he didn't know it was a winner because he hadn't checked the numbers. If he had any sense he would have gone to BigGameLottery.com in the morning before going to work. ;-)Anyway, he takes the ticket with him and later realizes that he still hadn't checked the numbers. So he takes the ticket to a lottery retailer and the retailer tell

$393 million Mega Millions jackpot won on ticket sold in IllinoisReply
Retailer bonus amount varies widely. Some lotteries pay little to no bonus while others pay upwards of $1 million for very large jackpot wins. PA Lottery seems to be in the lower to mid range at $100,000 retailer payout for MM / PB jackpot wins. If you're able, please consider doing an article on retailer bonuses, and how and why they vary so much. Thanks!
