Is this game-able by buying lots of things for a penny each from your own store, that kind of thing?

Somewhat but I imagine you'd risk getting caught =)

One thing I wonder is if you have an increased likelihood of winning if you buy more. Does a $1 purchase give you the same chance to win $100 as a $20 purchase? I don't really know. Over 100 receipts you usually win like $5

Make the winnings be a multiplier of the tax paid on the receipt.

Maybe they could make each receipt give you a block of numbers in proportion to how much you spent.
