Evidently it must have been against company policy for employees to purchase rejected tickets The stories I've seen have said the policy is that employees can't buy (any) lottery tickets at the store they work at , not just while they're working.

Cheating does not apply because the purchase itself is null and void ab initio (from the beginning). I did write that Circle K m
