Buy scratcher at one store, redeem at another?Reply
From what I have been told here in FL, retailers do not get a percentage of winnings off of scratch-offs...They just get Bragging rights when they sell a big ticket. They do however get a check when someone wins the FL Lottery, Powerball, or Mega Money. To answer your question, when I have a winner of $100 or more, I usually take it to a different grocery store because there has been too many times where a clerk may expect a tip for selling you a winning ticket. It will avoid all akwa

Have you or anyone you known tipped clerks that have helped you select a winning instant ticket?Reply
No I do not tip clerks. I spend my hard earned money. Even if the clerk did tell me which roll one had a bunch of losers, I wouldnt tell them if I won. If you tell the clerk that you won (for example) $500 then they might expect a piece of the pie. Its like letting the clerk gamble with your money, if you are giving some of it back to them.

When the clerk wins on a tip you give them do they reward you!

Store Clerk Playing Unfair? Is This Legal?Reply
There's a clerk I really like at Giant who has helped me with a lot of cash-ins. I asked her if she'd let me tip her, but although she was flattered, she wasn't allowed to take a tip. I got asked by this other clerk for a tip at Giant then when I shouldn't have been asked. I wonder how many clerks go against policy. I'd have no problem tipping on $200 or more winnings, but at Giant I will say no.

Florida Scratch Offs - Post Pictures if posibleReply
This idea of tipping a clerk if YOU pick n buy your own tickets makes no sense - IF the clerk steered you to buy a certain ticket because he/she knew it was a hot roll and it won $100 or more - then I could see a tip might be in order. Nothing more than $10.00 tho .......and remember, once you tip they will always EXPECT it. When you pull a $1K ticket from the machine who do you tip ? The machine ?? :) I think when you lose say $4 or $500 - go back to the store with your losing tickets and

I usually do NOT tip the clerks. I look at it like this, I spend tons of cash on tickets and usually just ask the clerk has there been any decent wins today? ....99% of the time they just answer naw, just people winning their money back . I don't think I need to tip when they just rip a ticket from the book and hand it to me. I pay the machine most of the times too. Now if the clerk told me, hey man just an FYI, that book just had 10 losers in a row, you may want to try that one , an

Tipping the salesperson on a big winReply
I don't tip...PERIOD. The clerk didn't lead me to buying my winning tickets; it was extreme luck and coincidence. Not to sound harsh but the clerk is no more inclined to part of my big wins than I am to part of their tills they made on sales at their store on a particular day. Besides in South Carolina, places that sell winning tickets over $500 get a 10% commission from the SCEL. Sounds more than generous to me. The store and/or the clerk shouldn't require a tip from the person who actual

Tipping the salesperson on a big win
i was thinking of tipping the clerk on my last $1000, I thought 10% would be fair. It can be annoying when clerks ask for tip on a 100$ win because usually I'm just breaking even. But the clerk that sold me the winner is very polite and has never asked for a tip. what does everyone here else do ?

Wow party time!!! lol I hand in my ticket to claim my prize and tip the clerk $10. His face was like is that all. lol Do you tip the clerks after a big win?
