As the entries continue to climb in the “Ho Ho Dough” promotion, we’ve gotten the same question from numerous players: Do I need to keep the tickets after I enter them in this promotion? The short answer is no, you don’t need to keep them.
When you successfully enter an eligible ticket in the holiday promotion, the entry itself provides the information we’ll need in the Ho Ho Dough drawings. And if one of your entries is selected as a winner in a Ho Ho Dough drawing, you won’t need to present the ticket you entered in the promotion to claim your prize. The entry itself will serve as the record involved.
Years ago, people did have to keep the actual tickets they entered into our promotions, but with advances in technology, we’ve been able to update our process to make it easier.
Good luck in the promotion to everyone who has entered!
Hi, Thomas. You are correct. Our lottery terminals are programmed so that 111 and 1111 (or any combination of all identical numbers) can't be played as a box or a straight/box option. A combination like that can only be played as the straight option. Our mobile app also is programmed so you can't create a playslip with that option.

Is it possible to play a Pick 3 or Pick 4 Box or Straight/Box using all of the same numbers such as 111 or 1111 etc...? And if it is, why? The machine should kick it back as not playable. If the IA Lottery allows this, it is taking advantage of players who don't know exactly how the game works.
