Heads up, players! There’s been a change to lottery vending machine purchases.
You’ll need to scan your valid government-issued ID when buying tickets at all lottery vending machines. It’s a quick step that helps make sure all players are 18 or older — and keeps the lottery fun, safe and fair for everyone.
Before you can choose your game or pay for your tickets, the machine will prompt you to scan your ID.
Just follow these simple steps:
- Use the long barcode on the back of your ID
- Hold your ID horizontally under the scanner with the barcode facing up
- Gently move it around if needed until it beeps or confirms the scan
That’s it! Once your age is verified, you’re good to go.
All current, government issued IDs are acceptable.
Important: The machine does not collect or store any personal data. It’s just verifying your age — nothing more.
So the next time you’re feeling lucky, stop by a lottery vending machine and bring your ID!
