l lumped them both together rcb because both had a gripe. However I chose to go with greatguy's response because it was shorter than BRO's one. In other words l stop eating when l am full...hint! hint! Hope you get my drift

Understood. But I was referring to the line you had highlighted in your response to greatguy.

Perhaps rcbbuckeye, but this piece comes across as a joke, at least to me...

Now the Clerk is feeling real good about her win and when she sees me, she sings and laughs I got your money ha ha ha in the middle of parking lots in front of people like she has no worries.

* Which is the reason l asked rcb Where in California does this happen? Who in their right mind sings and laughs l got your money in front of people? l can pretend to be a fool, but I'm not gullible.

Whenever I cash in winning tickets, I always ask if they can cash some winners for X amount, BEFORE I give them my tickets. That way they can't scan the ticket and then claim, We can't cash it, we don't have the money. Because once they scan it, good luck going somewhere else and saying you didn't get paid for it.

If you think the clerk may be short changing you, ask for a receipt. It will show what the ticket was cashed for.

greatguy said They didn't like the fact I knew how much winnings were there .

Looks to me like he knew what his winners were worth when he handed his tickets over.

True that! Had alot IMO of winning Cards to turn-in between 7-10 each session. People behind

me weren't happy with the amount of Cards had to turn in, but they always cashed them.

Thought could of overlooked the total by those small amounts, until got them in the scam.

Where in California does this happen? How much did BRO Been Ripped Off actually win, millions, what? How about you, how much? How tall are you guys- 4' 5 ? It's possible that clerks will rip you off if you can't see the numbers being rung up on the register, but please.

First mistake: You never hand a clerk your ticket without you KNOWING in advance how much it is worth.

In Cali' and had a problem with a Liquor Store. They had alot of winning cards, but

when I went to Cash them payoffs were off anywhere from $5-20 most times. They

didn't like the fact I knew how much in winnings were there.

Find out if the store has video cameras. The entire transaction may be on tape. If it is, there's your proof.

Chris Hansen from NBC Dateline did a story a few years back on lottery clerks in California stealing customers winning tickets. Sounds like they need to do a new investigation.

If you want to see the videos, search for NBC Dateline Lottery Ticket Scams on you tube. It happens in a lot of states.

I hope you get your money back

What's the first thing you should do if you have a winning lottery ticket?

The first thing you want to do is sign the back of the Ticket, because a Winning Lottery Ticket is what's called a Bearer Instrument: technically whoever hands in the Winning Lottery Ticket is declared the winner.

You can begin with your political leaders. Cities do have 1 -800-numbers where you can begin. That is local. Then go to State politicians. Congressional politicians after State. Presidents accept letters.

Start with a telephone book or online.

How much money are we talking about here?

If possible go to a different store next time.

Good Luck

A Clerk stole my draw ticket. She said it was not a winner, then changed it one dollar after I wanted my ticket back. She then walked over to the other Clerks register got a dollar and dropped it on the counter. She could not use her own register (the one used for all the Lottery transactions) because she just slid my ticket into the right side corner after opening it two inches and trying to hide it. Then would not talk or look at me. A couple days later i was able to find the Retailer. We had
