They had to call Germany to get permission from Klaus Schwab to give you cash - but on his end the power was out. :)
It used to be anything $100 or more was sent to a lottery agency. But that was years ago, so maybe that’s changed.
Might have been afraid of counterfeits. IDK.
Well, they probably remember that you voted for Perot in 1992...
Congrats winner! I have an lucrative franchise opportunity if you’d like to grow that dough!
Hey congratulations on winning $200,00
Can’t speak to Californicatia but in Alberta (occupied by Canaduh), on the Alberta Lotteries website and possibly on tix, they state that any prize up to $100 can be cashed at a retail site HOWEVER, you must check with the retailer before cashing. Higher win amounts have different procedures. I suspect that Californicatia would have something similar, though the amounts would vary.
Guess they have lost your business then.
Joe Biden said you won $8000
I ran into a similar problem this morning. They wouldn’t cash my billion dollar megamillion ticket either. So it ain’t just them.
Over a certain amount ( not sure but it used to be $600). and you have to go to a lottery office. Requires filling out lots of tax paper work
Why cry about it.
Don’t forget to send $20 to Resident, 1600 Pennsylvania Ave NW, Washington DC 20500. Cash preferred.
I’ve always heard that you can only cash-in up to a certain amount from a store that sells tickets; beyond that you have to go to a lottery office.
Wah Wah Wah.
To all the EXCUSE MAKER’S with READING COMPREHENSION ISSUES. Note, the man states he then went to a mom-and-pop Tobacco Shop and they gave him his winnings.
Also, note IF YOU READ his post the cashier refused to allow him to even speak to the store manager. Ralphs most certainly has a mere 200 dollars on hand to pay out the man’s ticket. It seems to be that the store clerk has issues.
It seems to me that Ralph’s needs to send that person to the unemployment line and issue this man an apology.
You’re lucky you won anything at all. Most people just throw their money away
How did the cashier stop you from doing that? Just walk right into the back and say "Which one of you is the manager?"
It’ll get you a tank of gas.
