The MVD offices in Glendale and Scottsdale are now equipped with Arizona Lottery vending machines. The machines allow players to purchase lottery tickets by inserting one dollar, five-dollar bills, and twenty-dollar bills. Since the machines do not give change, players must insert the exact amount to purchase tickets. Once they have paid for their tickets, they can select games to play, and push the ticket window to select the winning numbers. One game allows a player to use all their credits, which means they can win big in one game.
Customers can choose from four games starting at $1, which is less expensive than buying individual tickets. More games are coming soon. The live drawing monitors show the drawing live, which is another way to increase sales. Besides the lottery games, the self-service EX vending machines can also sell nearly 25 other games. These games include player favorites like Mega Millions and various Fast Play games. The best thing about self-service EX vending machines is that they are easy to operate, don’t require inventory management, and don’t require upfront costs or card fees.
Those who win Arizona Lottery games can choose to remain anonymous for as long as they like. The state lottery allows winners 180 days to claim their prizes. However, if a person has won a smaller prize, they must make their winnings public. In Arizona, the state lottery allows people to buy tickets with credit cards. They must present a valid ticket to receive their prizes. The drawings are held on Fridays and Tuesdays at 11:00 pm ET.
