Store owner's lottery bonus put on holdReply
There is nothing surprising about him having a balance due the lottery; that is how almost all lotteries sell their tickets. For scratch tickets, each book has a face value (# of tickets x value of each ticket). The retailers are usually charged a percentage of the face value equal to the lottery's take on the ticket.
