VALIDATING TICKETS<br />
The Wisconsin Lottery has cross-validation. Cross-validation allows for players to cash<br />
winning tickets at any Lottery retail location regardless of where the tickets were<br />
purchased.<br />
Any retailer may cash and receive credit for prizes up to $599.00. If your location has<br />
a cashing policy or limit, please post the policy in a prominent location.<br />
Retailers receive 6.25% commission for the sales of Instant Scratch and Pull-tab<br />
tickets and 5.5% commission for sales of Lotto tickets.<br />
How to Cash Tickets<br />
Your Lottery Terminal will take the guesswork out of whether a ticket is a winner. You<br />
can cash tickets from ANY Retailer up to $599.<br />
Always scan instant scratch tickets and get the Cash Authorization Receipt before<br />
paying out any prize. You must scan on your terminal any winning ticket in order to<br />
receive credit for the prize paid out.<br />
To cash (validate) an instant scratch ticket:<br />
• Touch INSTANT CASH<br />
• Scan the ticket validation barcode on back of ticket.<br />
• On the front of the ticket, enter the three boxed digits or scan the boxed<br />
validation bar code.<br />
• To validate more than one ticket, touch NEXT and continue scanning<br />
barcodes and entering the three boxed digits (or scanning validation<br />
barcodes) of the additional tickets.<br />
• Touch EXIT to complete<br />
• A Cash Authorization Receipt will print showing the total amount to pay.<br />
• Return to the player any non winning ticket along with the validation receipt<br />
showing that the ticket is a non winner.<br />
• For a winning ticket you should show the winner the Cash Authorization<br />
Receipt but you will need to retain the cash authorization receipt for your<br />
accounting purposes.<br />
• After showing the player the Cash Authorization Receipt tear the tickets in half<br />
through the validation barcode and attach Cash Authorization Receipt to<br />
one half of the ticket. Dispose of the other half. Retain ticket half with cash<br />
authorization for one week. After one week, dispose or shred the second half<br />
of the ticket with the Cash Authorization Receipt.<br />
• Do not attempt to validate a ticket that appears to have been altered.<br />
