It's true.

People who buy scratch and win tickets don't even have to scratch the whole thing to see if they won because all you need to do is scratch he serial number and have them check it if you won or loss since that serial number is how it determines who won or loss and what amount.

That's why you'll see old people just pick tickets from a centre and have the person scratch the number off for them to see if they won and you waste no time.

Did you know this?

I knew, but I always scratch the whole thing like the instructions say. I don't play them for money, I play for fun, and just doing the serial number is a waste.

the ones in PA have a QR code that can be scanned. but I buy the ones that take a while, because while I enjoy the gamble, I also want to have at least some semblance of a game.

That's like mashing a slot machine as fast as possible. I like to sit and watch the lights and graphics spin.

you can also scratch around the edges to find the letter code for how much you win

Well first youre not allowed to scratch at the counter or hold up the line, so you have to leave anyway. Youd have to reenter the store and line to get the tickets scanned... Id rather scratch all and avoid unnecessarily spending anymore time at the gas station if i dont win.

I don't buy those stupid things, but when I get them as a gift or whatever I just scratch off the QR code and see if I won anything

depends on the state (which company they use). PA used to do the letter codes, but switched to the QR system a while ago, now.

that sounds like company policy. The last time I sold lottery I had people scratch at the counter all the damn time. But I almost never had more than 3 people in the store at a time, so there wasn't exactly a line to hold up.

The ones in MA have a 3 letter code that spells out wins (ONE, TWO, FVE, TEN, etc.) and any losing ticket will have random letters. I think high winners are randomized as well. The most I've ever won is $1000 and I forgot to reveal the code to see what it was.
