New Touch-Screen Machines!

Love Colorado Lottery games but not the long lines? We’ve got a solution! Now you can purchase your favorite Lottery games using our new touch-screen vending machines. Whether it’s Scratch or Jackpot games, you can play using Quick Pick or choose your own lucky numbers. It’s simple, fast, and fun!

How to Play

You Must Be At Least 18 Years of Age

We’re committed to responsible gaming, so you’ll need to verify that you’re 18 or older before using the machine. This process is for age verification only—no personal information is collected.

On the back of your driver’s license or state-issued I.D. is a PDF417 barcode you’ll need to scan. Hold your I.D. horizontally with the 2D barcode facing up under the Barcode Reader (the same scanner used to check winning tickets). Cover the smaller UPC code to ensure a smooth scan. Once you hear a beep, your age is verified. If it doesn’t work at first, adjust the distance until the barcode is read.

Why Won't Your ID Scan? 

• Out-of-state I.D.s may not have a PDF417 barcode.
• Older Colorado I.D.s may not include the updated barcode.
• Expired or damaged licenses may fail to scan.

If issues continue, please purchase your games at the customer service desk.

Insert Cash

Start by inserting cash into the Bill Acceptor. Machines accept up to $200, but remember—they DO NOT DISPENSE CHANGE. Be sure to insert only the amount you wish to spend. Once accepted, you’re ready to choose your games.

Buy Scratch 

After depositing cash, simply touch the Scratch game image on the screen, choose how many tickets you want, and add them to your Cart. Confirm your purchase and your tickets will drop into the tray below. Easy!

Buy Jackpot 

Quick Picks
Tap your favorite Jackpot game, select the number of wagers, and add to Cart. (Note: multipliers and add-ons are not available with Quick Picks.)

Pick Your Own Numbers
Choose a Jackpot game, then tap Pick Your Own Numbers to manually enter your selections. You can also choose add-ons and Add A Board for extra plays. Made a mistake? Just tap the Trash Can to delete numbers. When ready, tap Add To Cart. 

Use A Play Slip
Prefer a paper play slip? After inserting your cash, just feed your completed slip into the Play Slip Reader. Your selections will be added to your Cart automatically. 

Shopping Cart
Your selections appear in the Cart button at the center of the screen. Tap it anytime to review, adjust, or confirm your order. When you’re ready, select Checkout to complete your purchase. 

Check To See If You're A Winner

You can also check your tickets at the vending machine. First, scan your I.D., then scan your ticket barcode:

• Scratch tickets: scan the code beneath the scratch-off area.
• Jackpot tickets: scan the code at the bottom of the ticket.

If you win, you can apply your prize (up to $200) as a credit toward another purchase. Note: if you apply winnings as credit, the entire prize amount must be used.
