   Because they want your money, bad. I wonder what kind of machine is sophisticated enough to accept four different denominations in any orientation but can't give change. I think if a machine can potentially shortchange you by more than $1 it should be required to give change.

   Who needs change when in worst case scenario you get an additional 19 lottery tickets?

   Maybe because despite the fact that soft drinks cost < 50 cents a can to produce (for cola anyway), lottery tickets have even less value?
   
   And I suppose there's always the chance that they might be able to prove that a jackpot winner stole a ticket if a particular machine got a lot of bum-bills at a certain time.
   
   Just throwing ideas out there...

   It is a mandatory subliminal message to us all to not gamble?
