If you're going to play the game: Learn the rules and then follow them

In the clerk's defense, I don't believe that he did this intentionally. It was clearly a mistake, and he seemed mystified by the idea there would be one too big to cash. I'm hoping I can talk to someone on Monday.

At least I'll know in the future to just go to the office if there's more than $500 on the ticket. If that ever happens which, for obvious reasons, seems doubtful.

Report it to the Lottery Director and then call your local TV stations, they are hot on this stuff.

The clerk saw the $1000 win before he scratched the 'void if removed'. He knew he couldn't cash it. Needs to be reported. Hope you are successful in getting your winnings.

Yeah, just scratched it off. Still on the ticket. But I read that in massachusetts you can't turn it in if that's off

He just scratched it but didn't remove it, right? It's only void if removed, not scratched. In other words, you should be fine as long as that part of the ticket was't torn or cut off.

And as for what happened, he didn't tell me what to do, aside from saying they don't THINK It'll be a problem but sounding really unsure.

And more practical than you might think! No-one can pick your pocket if the wallet is on your head.

Haha that's awesome!

But also about the guy, he should've at least told you what to do. He should have fixed it no doubt.

It would be pretty hard to miss that I had a top hat and long coat on. Hope it all turns out alright.

Well just write time down remember what you was wearing doing if you worry just trying to help time down. I'm sure someone else here more knowledgeable but i seen it once hppen in a store with a $2 cash word game worth $1000. So i heard about t. Anyways thats what the guy told me i never found out what happened but im sure it was fine or taken care of. It's not like the cashier got anything sooooo somebody has to get paid. I.e You. You still have ticket correct

Not open until Monday. And I got a pretty bad anxiety issue so I'm gonna be in a panic until then. Just hoping someone else in Mass might know about that.

Unfortuantely I've already driven home, and the places are closed.

And I dunno if it was you who scratched it or not. Do you work at Stop and Shop

Have the guy call the lotto center or customer service office. He can tell them on the phone what happened set up for them to see youand just go there, if its right now I'd go on in there right after. you'll get it cashed. It was a mistake. Not the first time that's happened.

Wait is that just now. No you didn't get screwed. At least if it was me.

Did I just get screwed?

I'm in Massachusetts. I got a $20 scratch ticket and brought it to the counter, where the guy scanned it, scratched void if removed, then told me that $1,000 was too big to cash there. But because it's 'Void If Removed,' and the employee removed it, did I just get screwed out of $1,000
