The Texas Lottery has introduced something completely new to the United States: Lottery numbers that can be printed onto a receipt paper such as that generated by a cash register in a market.
That includes Powerball and Mega Millions lottery tickets printed at the cash register. The lottery is offering this option to participating H-E-B retail stores. Not available will be Power Play and Megaplier.
When customers are ringing up their grocery purchases their Quick Pick numbers can be printed onto the receipt along with the lottery barcode. The lottery is calling this an “in-lane” purchase, and will increase convenience, according to Gary Grief, who added “These tickets look different than any other that the Texas Lottery has ever produced, as they are the first lottery tickets ever printed on cash register receipt paper rather than on lottery roll stock by a dedicated lottery terminal.”
