Oh man, this is shooting into the dark. It's like saying you want a CM-5. The odds are laughably bad.
Oh well....
I want to get my hands on an older lottery machine as a static display specimen. The big name in North America for lottery terminals was a company called GTECH. They are all essentially network terminals so on their own they are completely useless but I have seen over the last few years a few of the newer style machines pop up on weird places like ebay as a movie prop and private auctions as surplus, so you never know. It doesn't need to be functional. In fact, cosmetically complete but otherwise non-working is fine.
Edited: Actually to double down on this, it needs to be disabled, either physically or electronically. This is very important.
As you might expect, details or even photographs about the various machines is very limited because they were all expected to be owned by high security government and state run lotteries and were typically recycled when replaced with newer models but you still are able to construct an idea on what was available using google image search, product announcements and public filings to the SEC.
Who knows. Perhaps someone has one hidden away because it looks cool and really space-age? *shrug*
The GTECH GT-101/FX/Tiffany
-Production started in 1983. Seems they were used worldwide as I can find photos of them being used in places like South Africa, Europe and North America
The GTECH ISYS
-Production started in 1995 or so. Saw heavy use within the United States. Seemed places like Massachusetts continued to use them as late as 2015
The GTECH Spectra
-Production started around 1992 or 1993. I can't even get a good photo of the thing but it seems like it saw use in Canada and Ireland among other places.[/b]
