On Sunday, a customer came in with a lottery ticket. I checked the ticket on the ticket checker and it told me the amount won and that a claim form would need to be filled out. I got the front end manager but she was busy helping with a spill. I put the ticket through the lottery machine and it told me to fill out a claim form and not pay the customer.
The customer was saying that a claim form shouldn't have to be filled out for that amount of money. He even said that recently brought in a winning ticket with a higher amount and he didn't need to fill out a claim form then. I ended up getting the assistant store director who informed the customer that I needed to go by what the lottery machine said. The front end manager ended up making copies of the papers that came out of the lottery machine.
It turned out that the ticket was over 6 months old and needed a claim form because of the amount won. The ticket with the higher amount didn't need a claim form because it was less than 6 months old and wasn't high enough to need a claim form.
The customer kept saying he was going to report this. He even insisted on his money but he was informed that we couldn't do it then so he left with his copy of the claim form and without the money.
