  So apparently there was a glitch with the Illinois lottery Instant Machines over the weekend where you could put in money and whole books of tickets would be dispensed for the price of one ticket and also buy higher priced tickets for less money. I hear some machines were cleaned out. Anyone got any information?

  Wow.  Nope, I was not that lucky.

  Wouldn't it be something if there were also no wins, like the prior thefts!

  Perhaps just incompetence . . but it does seem a tad "sketchy" that a $4 million MegaMillions prize has not been posted as claimed, or on the unclaimed page.

  Duh, no ... since the thread was started on the 25th of March !!

  Taking it one day at a time, because there's no way to know what might have been.

  I do not know what it is like there but around here people start early because it is expected on April 1st and it is easier to catch people off guard if you start early.
