'They will not give false readings. If the bar code is damaged on the ticket, it won't read it.'
Ticket Scanner: With the new Ticket Scanning feature you are now able to check your results on the go, no matter where you are! Whether you are camping in Algonquin, or fishing in Muskoka, you now. First, we can scan electronic tickets, printed tickets, print-at-home tickets, or ID cards. Also, our ticket scanning app can read 50+ barcode types, NFC wristbands and cards, and magnetic stripe cards. In addition, we have manual keyboard entry technology and a guest list search feature.
When people are in a hurry to check tickets, however, especially several in a series quickly, there can be a glitch. The machine needs time to reset between tickets.
'You always have to wait till it says 'check your tickets here,' said Saskatoon kiosk operator Joy Postlewaite. 'If you do it before that, it doesn't click in right.'
So when someone runs several tickets through without waiting, the same message will remain on the machine, saying the ticket is not a winner, even if it is.
Marantz says its up to ticket buyers to ensure they're using the machine properly. She also stresses it's a good idea to double-check the numbers.

That's advice that Brenda Bright of Saskatoon will heed. She generally buys two six packs of Lotto Max tickets every week, and uses a scanner to check them.
'I just don't take the time to do it,' she said, 'I expect it (the machine) will do what it's supposed to do.'
Faced with the thought she may have tossed a winning ticket, Bright now says she'll take her time and ensure she's using the machine properly.
