Lottery
So the other day, on July 1st, I had a guy come in to cash in a $200 ticket. I know i validated it on the machine but yesterday my manager tells me im 220 short on lottery. I already explained the additional 20 dollars: I rung him up with 200 lotto winner, he bought 40 in more tickets, and his change was supposed to be 160. I know i shouldnt have cashed it out in the first place, because I didn’t have it in my drawer. So i gather $140, 80 from my drawer and a tube of 10 5s plus my manager gave me another 10 from her drawer. Then she says just give him the rest in tickets. This is my third mess up in this situation, thats where the other $20 comes in. I rung it up as an additional 20 winner, so now the lotto on the computer totals to 220, but i guarantee he only received the 200. I already know everything i did wrong. My concern is:
What happens if I didn’t confirm the payout on the lotto machine? Has anybody messed up in a similar way and how was it handled? Its a Texas lotto terminal. Do they have at least access to the fact that the ticket was in fact validated on the machine?
