Ohio Lottery vendor switch-over causes some glitches

by WKSU's STATEHOUSE BUREAU CHIEF KAREN KASLER


Reporter
Karen Kasler
 
It was a tough day for some Ohio Lottery retailers, who have been dealing with glitches from a vendor switch-over. The Lottery says a few winning tickets were not recognized, and the new system did not properly read some tickets from the system being replaced. Lottery director Mike Dolan says it was a major undertaking.

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.

Listener Comments:

I bought a Clasic Lotto ticket for $5 Auto pick.
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???
