Would you still turn in dishonest Lottery Clerk even after they gave you your full amount?Reply
All I would do is email the lottery with a detailed account of what occurred. I would not contact the owner or other authority, here's why: When the lottery receives multiple bad reports about a retailer, they send their own investigator to the store. If a clerk tries to dwindle an undercover investigator, that retailer ain't gonna be selling tickets anymore. Problem solved, without confrontation.

Top 10 Issues encountered when filling out betslips (manually)Reply
QR code at retailer works one day, then it doesn't work. Result: I had to fill out bet-slips manually (so not use to doing that anymore). Next action: Automate ticket printing by having RBTL email picks to retailer. No muss or fuss.

One ticket wins $15M Lotto Texas jackpotReply
I hope the retailers get organized and stop selling TX lottery products. Being a lottery retailer means extra overhead and needing to hire more people. Without the bonus program, it's probably not worth being a retailer for many of the little mom-and-pop convenience stores.

When you see a retailer winning it's usually a customer asking them to claim the win. Retailer takes a cut 50% etc. The do this because they probably owe back taxes or child support. I see this in PA a lot. You would think the state would catch on.

Gaming the lottery was this couple's retirement planReply
If you figured it out and you could do this, would you do it? Jerry asked. Absolutely I would. Wish I was as astute as he is. Had I known about it, I know I'd have wanted to do it because The Massachusetts border is about an hour's drive from my home. The big problem I'd would have had would have been finding a retailer that would go along with it because I don't know anybody that's a lottery retailer in Mass. One other thing; If I read the story correctly, The Selbee's and others were a

The Round-Town Quick Pick Game for MM and PB- would it work?
Here's a form of luck that I invented . Say you wanted to go around town to buy one ticket for each retailer (not all, but 5 max at least). Would you perhaps get a different combination for each one that is different with each machine which may get a better guessing retailer? Could this be, perhaps maybe a lucky way of winning?

Will NC Lottery players move online and hurt retail stores?Reply
Don't know about you folks but I'd like the physical ticket in my hand. Computers crash and are hacked all the time. In Wisconsin if a retailer sells a winning ticket they receive a percentage of the jackpot. Sounds to me the state is saving money by screwing the retailer. Also a way of the state to find out how much you accumulate (in small un-taxable winnings) during the year. Hello IRS.

Iowa Lottery investigation highlights difficult balance between security and profitsReply
If the employee was stealing the store's tickets and if the retailer had proper accounting procedures in place, the retailer would have noticed the irregularities with the employee clerk a long time ago. Don't they do ticket counts and cash counts at the end of each shift and reconcile lottery purchase/sales reports?

Also interesting is that the ticket says prizes over $600 require a claim form. So, it looks like the retailer is responsible for getting a correctly filled out claim form for prizes $600 - $2500? What if the retailer pays out the prize and the claim form is not filled out right? Do they require ID information to claim? I am wondering if other states, including Florida, want prizes over $600 claimed at a district office or the main office due to the paperwork involved?

I know...they treated me like I was doing something wrong. Yes, one store called another. Um...you're a retailer, and that's your job as a retailer!! This was a BIG chain store too.
