Then they would write in what I decided on. It was a drawn out process if you wanted multiple games.

Yes, I remember this as well with A&S, back in the early 70's at least. Some were pre-printed and stored in little cubbyholes as well. I'd guess the farther out from the game you bought the ticket, the more likley it was pre-printed.
