Comment Not ironing the lotto ticket is borderline useful (Score 1) 445
The warning on the lotto ticket is there because the tickets are printed on thermal printers using thermal paper.
If one were to iron the ticket it would become completely black. The printer only turns selected parts (the letters) black. The label probably should contain a warning not to leave in the sun as well.
The legal purpose probably is there so no one can claim a winning ticket after they left it in their shirt pocket and had the shirt ironed.
