康涅狄格州彩票「Lady Luck」扫描出错：中奖票被误判无效 官方吁保留彩票复查
康涅狄格州彩票公司近日发布通告，提醒购买了「Lady Luck」刮刮乐的玩家先别扔票：自10月16日起扫描的部分彩票出现系统错误，中奖票也可能被误判。
彩票公司在声明中说，受影响的彩票在零售点扫描时会显示「请到零售商处处理」（see retailer），零售商一端则显示「条形码无效」（invalid barcode），原因是内部处理错误导致系统无法核验彩票。公司表示，自10月20日（周二）清晨5时起，玩家可以重新扫描复查手中的彩票；目前公司尚未接到有玩家因此被拒付奖金的报告，有疑问可拨打 (860) 713-2700 咨询。
10月16日也是这款5美元刮刮乐（游戏编号1869）的停售日，但中奖票的验奖期限一直到2027年4月15日，头奖在内的所有奖项都可在此之前兑奖。该游戏的四个5万美元头奖已被全部领走；截至10月20日，16个5,000美元奖项中仍有6个、52个1,000美元奖项中仍有19个、109个500美元奖项中仍有20个尚未领取，其中一部分可能就藏在此次被误判的彩票里。彩票公司提醒玩家妥善保留彩票，复查后再作处理。

Connecticut Lottery 'Lady Luck' Scanning Error Flagged Winners as Invalid: Players Urged to Keep Tickets and Recheck
The Connecticut Lottery has advised players who bought "Lady Luck" scratch-off tickets not to throw them away: a system error affecting tickets scanned since October 16 may have caused winning tickets to be misread.
In its statement, the lottery said affected tickets scanned at retail locations displayed a "see retailer" message, while retailers saw an "invalid barcode" message, because an internal processing error prevented the system from validating the tickets. Players could begin rechecking their tickets at 5 a.m. on Tuesday, October 20. The lottery said it was not aware of any player who had been denied a prize because of the issue, and listed (860) 713-2700 for questions.
October 16 was also the last day of sales for the $5 game, No. 1869, but winning tickets can be validated through April 15, 2027, including the top prizes. All four of the game's $50,000 top prizes have been claimed. As of October 20, 6 of the 16 prizes of $5,000, 19 of the 52 prizes of $1,000, and 20 of the 109 prizes of $500 remained unclaimed, and some of those may be on tickets affected by the scanning error. The lottery urged players to keep their tickets until they can be rechecked.
