Abstract: A line pulling system having a chassis, a reel carrier assembly, an electric power source, and an electric jack assembly. The electric jack assembly can include a housing, a leg configured to extend and retract axially from the housing, an electric motor, a current sensor configured to detect a current supplied to the electric motor, and a controller. The controller can receive current data and, if the current is less than a threshold current, supply a first voltage to the electric motor to cause the electric motor to extend or retract the leg at a first speed. If the current is greater than or equal to the threshold current, the controller can supply a second voltage to the electric motor. The second voltage can cause the electric motor to extend or retract the leg at a second speed that is less than the first speed.

Abstract: A lottery ticket dispensing unit includes at least one ticket compartment and a separation module that has a drive roller and an opposed idler roller. A motor is geared to the drive roller and is switchable between a convey mode wherein the drive roller engages and conveys a leading ticket to a separation position and a brake mode wherein the motor provides a reverse retarding force to the drive roller to brake the drive roller against an attempted reeling of the lottery tickets. from the dispensing unit. A controller switches the motor between the convey and brakes modes such that in the brake mode, power to the motor is interrupted and windings in the motor are short-circuited.
