Yes they have to keep all winning tickets to get compensated .I just explained this scratch off business the vendor pays the store to put that product inn the store when the roll of scratchers is depleted they call the vendor for another roll.Lets say you have a 5000 ticket roll only 100 tickets are winners 50 $1 dollar winners and 50 $10 winners for a grand total of $510 that leaves 4490 worth of losing tickets sold. The vendor gives the store its cut of losing tickets sold similar to the state lottery giving the cut of losing tickets sold to the education funds.Ok the vendor gives them a check for $550 + whatever % of losing ticket sales they agreed on.Vendor replenishes the roll of scratchers and takes the old scratchers for accounting purposes.

So they are lieing correct? I called lottery they only work from 8-5. How can i figure this information out?

[lemart5]

Not every store has machines Onetrickpony.I have two of these such stores in my neighborhood and they dispense them manually upon request.

[onetrickpony]

ur googling skills dont impress me

im a 7-11 employee think i know how it works, and the vendor doesnt get called, the vendor sends tickets automatically cause once again its all computerized

[Scottish]

Dude how can you goto the police?

As soon as you say, i think but im not sure, why would they waste their time?

[lemart5]

yes they are lying if they dont keep the winners then they cant get there money back from the vendor unless the vendor is taking them at their word on what was in the roll and that will never happen.

[lemart5]

Not every gas station has machines Onetrickpony im sure your area may be ahead of the curb.If thats they way they do it where you live fine but they dont do it everywhere.

ummm some guy found your scratch off .http://www.mysouthwestga.com/news/story.aspx?id=612376

I won 1k once, they scanned it and printed out a ticket I had to take to the bank. It's all automated I'm sure the lottery people could access the computer and find out exact time they scanned a 10k winner. If it coincides with the time you were there you could at least beat the hell out of this guy. I don't know if they will.

[ElLoco23]

Here's the link to the Dateline NBC Undercover episodes on dishonest lottery store clerks. There were others on tv also where they show that a very high number of the scratchoff ticket winners are the owners themselves, or their relatives and friends. http://www.msnbc.msn.com/id/30550956...y-can-you-get/

Im just gonna let it go, i Went to 7-11 and they said they can throw or keep winners

Shiet happens in life man, Do you feel better about yourself now, that your mocking me? I mean if i made your day, then i guess not alot is happening for you in life?


I mean im an idiot for this. But everyone has their careless moment.If you disagree, Your in Denial

[jkilla990]

They keep winning tickets so you can go back and claim that you won, but if it was worth 10,000 then it cant be cashed at a lottery ticket seller, it has to be claimed at the main offices, so they guy could have scanned it saw it won a lot, then gave you a free ticket and went to redeem it himself.

QuangX, print this pic and deliver it to the suspected $10K crook.

[stikymess]

call the gov. they will help you , they help everbody

That's not totally true they help big business and moms with 8 kids.

[Wulfman14]

i feel bad for you but you were careless . its your own fault. this is like leaving your garage door open and then going on vacation and coming back to see your car stolen . most people you encounter in daily life will not be honest especially with money.

[ejfel01]

What a story lol. But some dudes lose their lottery tickets worth milions of dollars

[Glitch]

happens all the time. the new york lottery even did a sting on clerks that were doing that to people. gotta ask about their in-store surveilance and talk to a manager there. buuuut....yeah its probably gone. hopefully you know the time and date that you cashed it in because theres a record of the ticket being processed at that time.

[dbnmln]

maybe it's worth scratching at home now instead of in the store...i'm just sayin. At least you could check your own trash if you did so.

[jstblaze]

I think if you are saying 80% you are sure, it is probably more like 50%.

No offense of course, I just thinking about how ti would be if I was 80% sure about something like this.

[notsosharp]

If there was a free ticket listed as a prize, you didn't win all the prizes. When a scratch ticket list a free ticket that is the only prize that can be won. I have never seen a sratch ticket that has given cash and a free ticket on the same ticket.

This is true.

I worked at a Liquor store during college and it sold scratchoffs and I never saw one that payed out that way. Also we never gave anyone receipts for a free ticket. Something does not add up

Anyway no one wins on scratch offs. I saw one guy hit $1,000 on a ticket, but he easily spent $20 a day, so I'm sure he was down.

[TexansFan]

Lottery tickets are a bearer instrument. You're shit out of luck.

[ouman101]

Amazing how many people play scratch off's, but won't take 30 seconds to read the rules. Sorry about your luck bud, but if it was a $10K winner its your own fault.

[Going4Broke]

dude you lost the ticket, winner or not. grab a cold one and move on. sorry, pal.

[30K Millionaire]

Stick to sports betting

[Philavanh]

Just think of it like u won a free ticket and no way u could have won 10 k. Make it easier for urself instead of feeling like a dumbazz

[Domer]

Onetrickpony I dont know what kind of dumbass you are but this is a rule for all states.

lemart5, the true scratch-off sharp

[nobs]

if its a TAKE 5 LOTTO ticket you are talking about, then yes a star means you win all 12 prizes. You called it a scratch 5 lotto ticket, but on the Califonia lottery website it doesnt list a game with that name. Closest is TAKE 5 which I assume is what you meant since that game does feature a star which wins you all 12 prizes.

[nobs]

Here is ur probelm. If you won $10,000 it would definitly not be $10,000 + a free ticket. So no way could one of the 12 prizes have been a FREE TICKET. I have played games like this where you have 10 chances to win, and I have won in all 10 spots a few times. When that happens, all 10 spots are either $5 each making it a $50 ticket or $10 each making it $100 and I think I have gotten a combination of $5 and $10's coming out to $75.

Still no way are you going to win $10,000 + a free ticket. In fact the Cali lottery webiste lists the prize levels for this game.



$5669TAKE 5

$ 100 52,566 68,074

$ 500 9,756 12,644

$ 1,000 1,569 2,271

$ 10,000 204 276

$ 75,000 11 21

Second number is how many prizes there were for that level, first number is how many are remaining.

As you see the $10,000 prize is just $10,000 not $10,000+ a free ticket
