CT Lottery: Players Urged To Recheck Lady Luck Scratch Tickets
A processing error has disrupted ticket scanning.
CONNECTICUT, CT — The Connecticut Lottery is asking players to keep and recheck Lady Luck scratch tickets after a processing error disrupted ticket scanning.
The issue may affect tickets from Lady Luck, Game No. 1869, scanned since Friday, Oct. 16, according to the lottery.
Players may receive a "see retailer" message when checking tickets, while retailers may see an "invalid barcode" message. Both messages indicate the system was unable to verify a ticket's status.
