Luck not on San Bento Jr.’s side

Even with no money on the line, Lady Luck doesn’t seem to be on the side of one state representative.

Last week GTECH showed a group of lawmakers some new technology it plans to roll out in the coming months for lottery vendors to sell and redeem tickets.

To show just how it worked, a GTECH employee scanned a fake lottery ticket to see if it was a winner. Unfortunately, even in make-believe, the ticket was a losing one, prompting Rep. William San Bento Jr., D-Pawtucket, to say: “What’s new? All I’ve ever gotten is ‘not a winner.’ ”
