$1.33 billion Powerball jackpot won by one ticket sold in OregonReply
Maybe the winning ticket was purchased at a self serve lottery ticket vending machine located within the airport terminal building.

Accidental lottery ticket purchase nets Maryland couple $2 million in PowerballReply
Maryland resident here! Once you scan an old ticket, the machine will ask if you'd like to replay your numbers or not. If the ticket is too old, you would manually enter your numbers. Another function I love about Maryland machines is that you can actually see the QP numbers on the screen and choose to throw those back or purchase that ticket. I noticed in VA and NC that those machines don't allow you to see the numbers first.

$1.08 billion Powerball lottery winner Yanira Alvarez filed claim for jackpot over five months agoReply
Congratulations to her, that seems like a stressful process to go through ( BUT! I'm willing to do it!! Lol ). I'm wondering if found tickets are eligible to be claimed? For example I have found multiple tickets in lotto machines when purchasing my own due to the fact that the lotto machines in my state are old and have a glitch that the last ticket you buy doesn't fall down, it stays stuck and you need to reach in there and pull it out manually. When I first moved here I lost ticke

And of course it happened to me after posting this. Had a $4 winner on Cash for Life. Machine asked me if I wanted to cash it in Y/N? I said yes and missed that the next question was do I want to REPLAY the C4L ticket? I thought the prior question 'didnt take' and was asking me again if I wanted to cash it in so hit yes and ended up getting a replay of the ticket. Lets hope its a 'happy' replay

It says it on my play four ticket, prize alert you won and the machine plays a song. I guess the cashier kept the coupon. Thanks for letting me know that I should have gotten a coupon. I will be on the lookout now.

Has a machine ever malfunction on anyone?Reply
Years ago I took a ticket to five different stores and the machine would not process it. Finally I told the clerk to give me a quick pick. Guess what numbers came out.... the same ones it wouldn't give me . That was weird and not one of those numbers were drawn that night.

I would have given the clerk that ticket and just tell the truth that I found it left behind in the machine. Maybe the clerk knows who to return it to because it's a regular customer, maybe not. Either way, it's out of my hands. If the clerk is dishonest enough to try to claim it as her own, she won't get very far because of the time stamp and security footage. Not my monkeys not my circus, as they say.

Not sure if your comment was directed to me and I don't know what some of your acronyms mean (WOF, IGT etc) I'm currently in Texas, a huge lotto state and it's shocking how out of shape these machines are and how unreliable they are. I've lost money by the machines double printing tickets either from me pressing the push buttons or using my app QR code. This happens over and over again at multiple machines and I've contacted the lottery and they are very non chalant, we appreciate your feed

Yes, the message was meant for you. IGT=International Gaming Technology; WOF=Wheel of Fortune. Our machines also have a total touch screen but no replay feature per se. If you win I think under $50 it asks if you want credit or delete. One game, Cashball 225 you may win a free ticket here and there and it'll print a new ticket with different #'s. Here when you call the KY help desk it really goes to RI IGT service center and I think it got cut down to 7 states. They are very good and hav

Six gang members arrested for stealing $50,000 worth of lottery tickets in two statesReply
What other form of lottery tickets can you steal? I suppose you could direct the machine to print out multiple quick picks.. If everything was on.. But (I assume) that would be pretty easy to catch -- ticket was sold while store was closed -- should be an easy search So.. Pretty much a meaningless crime.. Unless they manage to sell unscratched tickets to other people
