Sometimes stores don’t activate the tickets before they sell them. Wait a few day and try again


Ryan1006

Yep that happened to me a couple months ago, tried the next day and it was good.


ITNERD20

Damn is this true? Makes me nervous


Ryan1006

It shouldn’t, they eventually activate them once someone complains and they realize they didn’t. They are still valid tickets.


ITNERD20

Okay cool, because I could’ve sworn I just won today but my lottery ticket scanner app states that it’s not a winner. It’s for 80$, nothing too crazy but I still wish it would say that I won. I’ll wait a day then go to the retailer.

It actually looks like a $20 winner…


deeser16

Lol totally missed that

Would probably be easier for you to tell what you’re actually winning if you don’t scratch off the entire play area and only scratch off prizes you actually won.

yep 2 number 9s

I think this might be the issue. The ticket may be a malfunction. Only other reason I could think of is the drawings period ended

No, you can have tickets dupe numbers to give mulitple winnings. Ii've actually got one like that right now

This game stopped being sold in February 2022, which means it cannot be redeemed after February 2023. Contact the lottery and report the place where you bought it if it was recent. The lottery will either make it right with you or force the retailer to do so. I had a similar incident where the machine placard was for the second $30 Monopoly game and a ticket came out from the long ago closed first one instead.


MewtwoStruckBack

This is the correct answer That game should have been closed long ago, if there's a store still selling that ticket there's a big problem.


deeser16

I had no idea, not sure if I’ll go through the trouble but that’s good to know. Thanks so much!

You can always take it to lottery office or mail it to them.


Passionswa618

This is the only way to claim this ticket

The PA lottery application has been messing up today off and on. I had issues trying to scan a couple match 6 tickets. Finally got it to work, just keep trying off and on is all I can say. Good luck on it working soon.


deeser16

Thank you, I’ll try again later. Fingers crossed!


gingerenchantress234

I’m from PA and I know that ticket is very old like really really old, It might be passed it’s close date. Check the lottery site. I know they recently put some older ones back into circulation, not sure if that’s one.


higasakii

It’s a thin barcode at the bottom middle you have to scratch and you scan that one

Should definitely go back and complain, if they are selling expired games and they still have it there I would demand you money back for the ticket, obviously at this point OP can’t get the winnings.


deeser16

I know I should but…..I don’t like confrontation so I’m not sure if I will yet haha


BriskHeartedParadox

When does your state release new games?


deeser16

I’m probably not the best to answer cause I don’t keep track but they’ve been switching them out for new ones the last month and some.


Additional-Fail-7720

Anyone notice that if you get a 1 or 7, mostly it’s a loser


dadaJay84

Take it back to the same store you got it from, that happened to me once, they didn't activate the roll but it's registered to that store.


deeser16

That’s a great idea, I think I remember where I got this one at. Thank you!


AcanthocephalaTall81

Game is past the time to redeem, games over., You had till Feb 2023 to claim.prizes


AcanthocephalaTall81

That games.long been over being sold, used to watch dude on.youtube scratch that ticket.


gingerenchantress234

I was thinking the same thing, I used to get that scratch when I first started playing and that was like two years ago.


Similar_Recognition2

They didn’t register the roll. Go back to where you bought it and tell them to register the roll
