I have never won enough playing the lottery to even consider giving a tip. But that could change anytime. I would probably give the clerk a tip if it's the same one I regularly buy my tickets from. Of course, maybe that's the problem?!?! Maybe I need to switch up clerks? Hmmmmmm . . .

What size a tip , are we talkin about here.

I never had the chance to tip the guy at the Esso, where I won 25K. What should I have tipped him? I did all the work to hit 5/Bonus, was no quick pick

I believe that parallels can be drawn between tipping and charitable giving.

Statistics show that liberal people give very little to charity and conservative people are quite generous on average.

I don't know if there are any statistics on tipping but if liberal people are miserly with charities you would have to assume they're just as cheap with tipping too.

I remember when democrat al gore was running for President and had to provide his financial records, a lot of people were surpris... [ More ]

If the clerk gives me a hot tip on a number and it hits, then yes.

I look at it this way. They don't contribute to the cost, so why do they deserve money? The clerks don't give me a portion of the money back from the cost when I lose.

Tips. I guess it depends on the circumstance.

I could only reference it as it applied to me.

I had a job a while back working at the zoo.

It was my duty to circumcise the elephants.

It didn't pay much but the tips were huge.

IF I would win good money, I would. I always look at their name badge, so that I can remember them if I win big. However, I have yet to win anything big.

If I win this big PB and I buy it at my local Kroger, I think I'll give ALL employees $1,000, but $13,000 to the one who sold me the big ticket.

$13K is the most you can give someone without them having to pay taxes. Yeah, I'm nice like that.

Wow mitch that could be quite a tip. That is very interesting.

Thats a really cool idea. I might have to try that.

To answer the question yes I tip when I win unless the

clerk is a real butt. Most of the stores I go in though im a

regular so that does not happen much. I dont go back

to stores when the clerks are rude.

Yes, I tip. When I am a restuarant.

Or to a valet driver or to someone helping me with my luggage.

Depends on how much I win and, who the clerk is.

Why not give a tip if the win is of significant value in your opinion ?......Sharing is always a good thing...... Karma, positive thoughts and actions have a way of recycling themselves. Paying it forward can't hurt..... Besides, some of us heathens need to do some good deeds.

Good point, RJ.

It's not like all the losing tickets are magically erased with a modest win. But in the space between times when I've won marginally nice payouts (three digits) I sometimes give a courtesy tip.

What would be nice is to hit a 6 or 7 digit ticket and then feel good about leaving a tip that could make a difference to the recipient. Especially the clerks that say Good luck in a genuine and friendly way.

Good for you. That question has been asked and answered many times over the years. Maybe it should be changed to Do you ever win enough or often enough to ever consider tipping the clerks

Thats what I mean, I have known the clerks at the liquor store where I buy my tickets at for years, and they are pretty nice kids so I usually tip them a few dollars when I hit.

Hey guys -

I was wondering if any of you tip the guy/girl who sells you a winning ticket?

I do whenever I hit for a few dollars.
