Tip for the clerk that sold the ticketReply
No, I wouldn't feel any obligation to tip the store clerk.

Would you tip the Store Clerk if you won big ?Reply
I always tip when I hit $500 on a scratch off. I tip the clerk $20 for cashing me out. (Usually it's the same Publix store by my house. I go there because the clerks let me keep my winning tickets. I have a collection of about 15 winners where I won $500.) Anyway, I tip when I hit $500....the tip goes to the clerk who cashes me out. If I ever hit a bigger prize, I'll tip the clerk who sold it to me--and I'll tip more. Here in Florida, anything over $599 is claimed through a lottery retail office

Would you tip the Store Clerk if you won big ?
Recently someone won $8K from the store I frequent and the guy tipped $300 to the store clerk who since become a friend. I know others like the guy who won on 100 str8 Pick3 tickets and didn't tip a dime to the guys. Would you tip if you won big ?

Cashier's mistake makes N.H. family lottery winnersReply
the fact that the nh clerk made a mistake and it resulted in a big win for the customer and that customer benefited by that mistake does not obligate him to tip him. no, you shouldn't tip a clerk for selling a ticket, however in this case his blunder is the only reason he won. therefore compensation for that blunder or mistake is warranted. the clerk didn't ask for and no one knows if he actually received anything at all for this. if you buy a lottery ticket and the transaction goes smoothly wit

Air Force sergeant claims $93.4 million Powerball jackpotReply
I don't understand why a clerk should expect a tip? They didn't help pick out the numbers and they didn't pay for the ticket? Running the numbers is part of their job that they're paid to do, so why am I asked for a tip when I win? I know there are some people on here who have sold lottery tickets, so could you explain? I could understand if you were friends with the clerk and called the numbers in and they played them because that could go 2 ways. 1 they don't have to play them because they hav

Should you tip the clerk who sold you a winning ticket?Reply
I suppose it depends on the clerk. Once I give a clerk a tip. I knew it was the wrong choice IMMEDIATELY. Was the wrong clerk too. This clerk who said she got a tip, could have also been lying. A good sales clerk usually has a nice reportoire of quick lies, to try to suade you. Generally I dont tip. Unless I get some extra service, such as, they let me in the store when its closed to other people, or they let my call in my bets over the phone. In those situations I am more prone to

There no such thing as free money, it might be cheap but it's not free. Sounds like you're are getting what you deserved if you accepted a $100 tip from a store clerk. Give the $100 tip back to the clerk, say be seeing you and find another store to buy your lottery tickets.

I would tip the clerk if I won with a quick pic...even though the machine chose the numbers...but the size of the tip would depend on how much I won.....If I am choosing my numbers and I win big, I'm sure I still would if it was a clerk that I liked.......

Would you give a tip??
On our website for NC lottery is a story of a guy who had the clerk pick out a scratch off for him and he won $100,000! Now I was wondering if he came back and gave the clerk a tip....Would you if you won.....For a $100,000 I'd give about $100 tip but if I hit powerball or megamillions jackpot I might give about $5000.....

certainly supports the lazy lottery players approach to playing by asking for quick pics. i hope they tip the clerk who errored in their favor. he deserves at least 10k for his blunder. if you play quick pics and win you should tip the clerk because of the timing of his finger on the machine. if you fill out your own cards no tip required.
