Its the Lotto.
They save on space and all the paper sheets and stuff.
It annoying if you have a sheet filled out as they can't accept it.

They were brought in 7/8 years ago. The smaller shops get them.
A lot cheaper, less support, training, maintenance etc
Works with a std phone line, the main ones needed an ISDN line (which cost big bucks). Not sure if that's still the case.

Have most Irish lotto jackpot winners chosen quick picks or picked their own numbers (since quick pick option was introduced in 1994)?
