As reported by Texan news outlet KRIS 6 NEWS, the Texas Lottery Commission has announced it will print Powerball and Mega Millions on cash register receipt paper, thus making it easier for players to purchase lotto tickets.
Referred to as a receipt ticket while visiting the Business Centers of participating Texas H-E-B stores, the move sees Texas become the first state in the US to offer players the opportunity to include lotto tickets on their receipts.
Speaking to KRIS 6, Gary Grief, executive director of the Texas Lottery, commented: “Texas continues to break ground with ‘in-lane’ lottery solutions that provide our players direct access to the games they love in the most convenient ways possible.
“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 rollstock by a dedicated lottery terminal.”
The new receipt tickets can be purchased at any H-E-B Business Center cash register, with Quick Pick numbers are printed directly on the receipt along with a lottery barcode.
Valid until the next available Powerball or Mega Millions drawing, the barcode on the tickets can be scanned using the Texas Lottery App to check the winning status.
