WEB Validation Codes Aren't Needed Anymore
Instant Games Contain Barcodes for Faster Validations
February 3, 2022 | 53 Comments
Scratch-off lottery tickets used to have validation codes that players had to enter when they redeemed their tickets. However, these codes are no longer needed, as instant games now contain barcodes that can be scanned for faster validation.
The Indiana Lottery made the switch to barcodes in 2022, and other states have followed suit. This change has been welcomed by players, as it saves time and eliminates the risk of errors when entering validation codes.
In addition to being faster, barcodes are also more secure than validation codes. This is because barcodes cannot be easily copied or forged, which helps to prevent fraud.
If you have a scratch-off lottery ticket that has a barcode, you should be able to redeem it at any authorized retailer. Simply scan the barcode at the checkout counter, and the retailer will be able to validate your ticket and pay you your winnings.
If you have a scratch-off lottery ticket that does not have a barcode, you can still redeem it by entering the validation code. However, you should be aware that this process may take longer, as the retailer will need to manually enter the code.
