That's interesting because when I use to buy BigGame tickets at the truck stop just north of the Ohio boarder on Rt 23, they didn't do that there. I don't think they scam me because I alway checked my tickets myself before cashing them in.

Ohio system stamps the ticket paid and prints out one slip which the clerks staple to the ticket and put them both in a box which is a receipt for the clerks showing money taken out of the register to pay the winners
