Colorado Lottery Vending Machines Now Require ID Scanned
I'm a regular lottery player and have been living in Colorado for a little while now. I still have my Oregon ID card (state issued ID, not a drivers license). I don't drive so I haven't been in a hurry to get a Colorado ID since my Oregon ID doesn't expire for almost 10 years. Anyway, I found out today while trying to buy lottery tickets at my usual vending machine (at Safeway) that they now require you to scan your state issued ID in order to use the vending machine. It scans in the same pl

All Publix supermarkets offer lottery terminal games, scratch and most have a vending machine that sells scratch and QPs. WinnDixie supermarkets also offer a lottery terminal and scratch, no vending machine. Enjoy your visit to this side of the Mason Dixon Line. BobP Not all angels have wings, some have whiskers.

Quickpicks Powerball: Lottery Post vs TerminalReply
Your question is similar to mine, is another quick pick generator better than a lottery terminal? In my case it's the LP quick pick generator I'm testing while in yours, it's the vending machine quick pick generator. If you wanted to study that, it would be easy to do if you're willing to buy 2 tickets for each drawing. Just buy one at a gas station and one at a vending machine and track the results in a spreadsheet. If you don't have Excel, you can download LibreOffice for free. Some pe

Quickpicks Powerball: Lottery Post vs TerminalReply
Your studies are interesting. I have been wondering if odds are better purchasing a QP ticket from a gas station/convenience store versus from a vending machine in a supermarket. Any thoughts on that, or is it too vague/general? Thanks.

Quickpicks Powerball: Lottery Post vs TerminalReply
Interesting idea. I don't buy enough tickets to do that study. Another thing I wonder about is have there been Power Ball or Mega Millions winner of jackpots from vending machines, and have any won huge jackpots (say, over $100 million) with a vending machine ticket? I don't think this is something you tested but if you have seen any threads/messages about this topic, can you post a link? On July 29, 2022, my daughter-in-law sold a Mega Millions 5-out-of-5 winning ticket in the supermark

Do you have any weird lottery superstitions?Reply
I remember reading that some jackpot winners drank something orange just before playing their tickets. A couple of times I did a haka in front of a lotto vending machine and got strange looks from people. One was a nurse who just got off work and asked me if I was OK and offered to take me to the hospital. EMOTIONAL WEDDING HAKA (Original Video) HD - YouTube notice from 1:02 to 2:08

Asked ChatGPT How To Win the LotteryReply
I'll save him the money. You're right winoneday. Buying 50 tickets would make the odds 50 in 292,201,338 , not 1 in 292,201,288. Now, because we know that odds are nothing but fractions, the odds can be expressed as the fraction 50 / 292,201,338. In order to express the odds as 1 in ___ rather than 50 in ___ , we simply reduce the fraction. We can reduce the fraction by dividing both the top and bottom numbers by 50. The top becomes 1 (50 divided by 50), and the bottom become
