buying lottery ticketsReply
I've seen clerks try to insert slips 5 or 6 times and then watch another clerk clear the machine and the tickets are printed the first time. If the problem is that the right button needed to be pushed it doesn't matter who inserts the slip. OTOH, when the clerk does the same thing each time the slip is inserted, either the button(s) they're pushing only works the last time, or there is some other transient problem with the machine. if the machine is ready to accept a pick-3 bet because

Employee lottery pool wins on first ticketNews Story
Talk about instant gratification the first time the 23 people on the night shift at the Sherwin-Williams plant in Andover, Kansas, decided to pool money and buy Powerball tickets, the first ticket they bought proved to be a winner. A $200,000 winner, which means it matched the first five numbers drawn Jan. 5 but not the Powerball. It was a shocker, said Paula Norton of El Dorado, who goes by Joan and was the designated ticket-buyer for the group. We're all a bunch of happy people. Eve

Illinois Daily Dec. 1 thru Dec.31,2007Reply
Congrat's pcnut on your hit. Very nice On Dec. 3 Illinois lottery is going to have the green ball drawing again. I think most people know what that is. And for the ones that dont know. After the pick 3 drawing there is another machine with 1 green ball and a few white balls. If a green ball is drawn. There will be another pick 3 drawing. You can win only if you purchased the winning ticket at the store. It dont count if you played it on line. I think the green ball d

pick 3 lottery cardReply
Coin Toss, I don't keep my pencil in the plastic sleeve. I complete the form in black ink at home before I leave. Don't want to be a counter hogger. A laminated playslip or a laminated ticket? Something that is laminated is only good if it's used for a long time. Anyway, the playslip would never fit into the terminal! There are plastic sleeves given to all the retailers for distribution to players so they can keep their slips protected from getting wet or bent. It's also good advertisi

$5 Powerball Quick Pick OddityReply
I love your post. I have tried to discuss this point before but no one gets what I was saying about odds. I have made posts not too long ago saying that duplicate numbers like yours are lucky. I based a system of picks on these duplicate. My theory is that if you are buying a handful of lines, you odds of matching the right numbers is greater than say buying one ticket IE 10 > 1. There are 5 white balls in one line (1 of 10). To win using these white balls, you have to match >2 nu
