  So I decided to purchase a raffle ticket. The cashier, who I am friends with, must not have taken the sticker off the new roll right. Well my ticket printed without a # on it, but it totally scans. I tested the scan and it does state " Not a Winner, but drawings still remain".. Say I hit something requiring a claim form, will the PA lottery void this? Of course I won't know my # ahead of time and will have to wait til the next day to scan it.   Appreciate the help.

  Why not go to the state lottery website and send them an email and ask?

  Thanks. Not sure why I didn't think of that.

  THe areas you have redacted (left side of ticket)- "Term: (insert the # example 00315470),Then Underneath it is a series of numbers : example: 6709-000057128993-00

  are considered the File number for that specific ticket. 

  The term (aka Terminal) is the store machine # , the numbers underneath are UNIQUE to that specific paid game ticket. 

  Given that you have kept the pasted tape over the number may be your saving grace - Despite not knowing what the actual draw # is. 

  You can call them if you wish but they will advise that your ticket will most likely pass the mustard since it has the information I parlayed above. 

  Heres wishing you much success !!

  Count your smiles.

  Thank you. I did email them, after redd55's post,  and don't plan to tamper with the ticket at all. I didn't think the covered area mattered, but I figured I would cover just in case. Actually curious if the lottery would be able to tell me my # based on all the other info. I have never won on 30+ tickets, so maybe this is a sign.. The lottery person was also the one who sold me a $1K scratch off this year. Maybe she is my good luck charm. If/when I hear back, I will let you know..
