I dont think they are "sorry" in AZ because the terminal says "not a winner"

Perhaps California should adopt AZ's stance Ronnie, because the machines out here state " Sorry- not a winner"
Those words should be dropped, although it would be of little comfort if you holding a batch of losing tickets.

Perhaps they are truly happy when a big winner comes forward? Winners make the lottery look good.

Since I've have only taken in tickets that I first checked at home the terminal only confirm what I already know which it says "WINNER! WINNER! We have a winner!" I'm going to take in some losers and hear what it says.

Because its a " Sorry " game

I did win 12.00 on the PB last draw ( but took me 5.00 to get it )

Won 20.00 on the Mega Millions not to long ago ( only took me 3.00 to get that one )

Had the powerplay on the PB and the megaplier on the Mega Mlliions

I seldom play PB anymore ( and I seldom get the powerplay ) when I do , and then only one ticket

I play the Mega Millions a little more regular.........but small amounts ( usually get one ticket with megaplier and one or two without )

Pretty well quit the PB when they raised the price awhile back........and will quit the Mega Millions this Fall........when they add all their extra numbers

Have had just about enough of them both after all that

Sorry

In Florida it says "You lost sucker, get over it". I don't think that's very nice. People need to write the Lottery HQ and complain.
