I've never played. How do I buy a ticket? Do I need to select numbers on the machine screen, or can I just insert cash and say: give me 20 tickets with random numbers? I don't want to waste much time on this.

Also, where do I find the machines? Would they be at Target/Lucky? I'm in CA.
Thanks.

lol, awesome man. Once again, you completely rock for taking your own personal time to do this. I take back almost every negative thing I've ever said about Vikings fans.

Not sure how authentication works but would it be risky to scan and link to the tickets? I assume there's some kind of serial number on the tickets that you don't want to give out in public or someone could use it to counterfeit a ticket and claim they bought it.

yea we should start a private thread for the 122.


....
cause when we win we have to decide what island to buy.

rofl, the guy told me the highest purchase he had was $50, I was like, nice ... give me $610 please, haha....then a line ensued behind me, of people getting 1 or 2 tickets, haha.

let me catch up on the thread, then start scanning.
Thanks for doing this, vivi!

I'm cool with a link too.
