(Fraud) Examine Scratchers for removed latexPrev TopicNext Topic
-
Be sure to closely examine your Scratchers when you buy them. You should look for any pinned areas. If its pinned, it is likely the Scratcher is a loser. The area pinned may not be obvious unless you look very closely. Make sure the clerk or owner pulls Scratchers from the dispenser and not some side drawer or pile. Make sure the Scratchers are in sequence if buying the same game. If you leave the store and don't notice the pinning until later, preserve the Scratcher as evidence. Report any such activity to the lottery commission so they can investigate. When checking winners, utilize the self check terminal to check for winners and always sign the back of any winning Scratcher. If you have a clerk scan your Scratcher, watch the LCD display for the winning amount and get a claim receipt. Be sure they pay you the right amount and not short change you. Don't be duped. If you are cheated, don't leave, call the police or the lottery. Caifornia Lottery 1-800-lottery.

jbt8, what do you mean by "pinned"?

To clarify Pinning, also known as micro pinning, pre-checking, micro scratching, etc, is when the latex is removed from the front of the Scratcher or the play area, exposing the (3) digit code. Clerks and retailers need this code in order to check the Scratcher to see if its a winner. If the Scratcher is a winner, they obviously cash it for themselves and sell the losers back to the public. What the consumer needs to be aware of is this micro pinning (removal of latex) exposing the (3) digit code. If you note any latex missing and see any exposed numbers, becareful. If you confront the clerk or owner about this, the typical answer is that the dispenser removed some latex when the Scratcher was being pulled out of the dispensor. Don't except this canned answer. Demand a new Scratcher and report the store to the lottery. 1-800-Lottery California.
