  Dose anyone know if the scratch-off lottery reports the location of where say, one of the 50,000 or 1,000,000 ticket was bought?  It would be nice to see instead of just seeing that someone has won one of the 50,000 or 1,000,000 prizes.

  On my state lottery site, they post where the winning ticket was purchased from.

  What state are you in bigbear?  Idaho reports the location on their official website, plus they usually announce it faster on their facebook page.

  I live in NC and our lottery website reports the store location for all games.  I think the win has to at least be 1000 for them to report the store location.

  To God be the glory... 

  When you're winning you're being blessed by Him!

  Hi HoleeKau, I'm going to have to dig a little deeper in my state, because I'm hearing from other people from other states that it is reported, some in news reports.

  Thanks MsNumberDreamer, yes I'm only interested in the higher wins.  I will find it somewhere in our lottery reports.

  NY Lottery used to have a winners atlas but removed it about a month or so ago. They say they have no plans on bringing it back.
