  I've been told by FOOD LION SPEEDWAY RITE-AID that each time i try to play for past almost a week now 1 1 1 1 

  it says "number is no longer able to be played, "excessive amount from folks here in NC, have already played the QUAD.

   

  Has any 1 been told this by a clerk/cashier et.al., and i have also ask each time  to see the register/lotto machine and it's true.

  I been getting this again several times. I just find that interesting/never happen to me before thanks... Good luck playing your #s.Good night.

  $47,000 WON on 3 + 4 lottery #Break The Bank $$$  260 264 0806 2100.2107 5030 0680 6080 8060.

  Its called the liability limit. Happens very frequently for 1111 and some other quads. Basically, the lottery won't let players break their budget in terms of maximum payout for any given number. Consequently, sales are automatically cut off once the liability limit has been reached. Happens fairly often in GA with 1010 as well.

  Hi Cassie, same thing used  to happen to me until I got hip to it and would play for the advanced drawing so I could get it in.  I always play it for the evening draw just before midday comes out and i seem to get it in that way. Good luck

  Then go some place else.   I didn't know lotteries were strict.

          Play advance draw/multi draw.

          If you play draw to draw...play immediately after a draw for the upcoming draw.

          It may take some time before you get to play your number.

          I have had to do this before. It is the liability limit.

          Good Luck!!!!

  Peace.  And, Good Luck!!!

  Makes no difference where you go once the liability limit has been reached, you won't be able to buy the number.

  Play it in advance.

  I think everyone else covered it by now, but you gotta get those quads in EARLY-Y-Y-Y-Y-Y-Y-! They pay so much that the lottery shuts 'em down as soon as their a** is in a sling. Plus, the delusionals play them every single day of their life because they don't understand what odds of 1/10,000 means. Read your lottery's official rules- they'll tell you what the liability limit is. Usually $5,000,000 on quads, but parimutuel states couldn't care less.
