Ohio Lottery vendor switch-over causes some glitches
WKSU's statehouse bureau chief Karen Kasler reports
Dolan says most problems were simple, such as retailers not remembering new passwords or printers that were not properly connected. And he says sales are up with the new equipment and software in place. The Ohio Lottery decided last year to change its operator to the Greek company Intralot, which triggered a lawsuit from Rhode Island-based G-TECH, which had been the Lottery's vendor since 1985.
The ticket printed with a serial number and had a barcode, but no numbers.
This occured at Babe's Sports Bar and Grill in Middleburg Hieghts, Ohio...The owner said it was a glitch in the system and was a good ticket.
Is there a possibility of someone seting the machine up to print a blank ticket, say every 30 or so tickets, and reep pure proffit if the customer dosn't have them void and reprint a new ticket???
