Lottery Paid Out Key inside the Register

[AJMassachusetts]

We often have customers bring in multiple winnings lottery tickets which we are required to cash, however, most of these same customers reinvest those winnings by purchasing addition scratch tickets or online tickets (think powerball, megamillions  etc). 

For example: Customers win $39.50 and then wants to play $48.00 of new tickets. The current process doesn't give you the balance owed from the customer as the paid out amount has to be done in the reports section. Do that 50 times a day and see how accurate your drawer totals end up.

Thanks,

@AJMassachusetts I would set up a second tender and call it something like Redemption etc.  When the customer cashes in just note the amount they are owed.  When you go to pay out the sale hit "Split Amount" and enter the amount owed for the lottery ticket cash in and hit continue.  You will can then select the alternate tender like you would hit "check" and enter the amount and then you will total that out and hit continue and then you can accept cash for the remaining balance.

When you run your report you will see the cash as actual cash that should be in the drawer and you can use the alternate tender for your reporting purposes.
