A Florida lottery machine and printer at Store #8302 operates 360 days a year. If the machine does not work and breaks down, it costs the Florida Lottery Commission $1,900 per day. If store employees are trained to perform local tests on the machine each day plus the costs of mach preventive maintenance is performed daily, the probability the equipment fails is zero.
