Abstract

An improved lottery ticket dispenser includes a burster wheel having a cylindrical contact surface. The improved burster wheel provides for an increased range of operation so that greater misalignment between the perforation or line of weakness between adjacent tickets in a fanfold stream and the path of the burster wheel can be accommodated while still providing a reliable and effective separation of the adjacent tickets along the line of weakness.
