Lotto Tickets Turning Green

OLYMPIA - What color is luckier than green?

Sensing that, Washington Lottery tickets, now printed on pink paper, will soon be turning green.

Starting in April, the state Lottery says, the Mega Millions, Lotto, Quinto, Daily Game and Daily Keno tickets will be printed on light green paper with a pinstripe and shamrock background.

The lottery says the games themselves will not change.

The change in paper is part of a three-month technical conversion. Retailers will be equipped with new touch screen sales terminals.

Changes at 3,500 retailers should be completed by July.
