Lottery

Managing the sales and reconciliation of lottery, both scratch tickets and lotto, can be a frustrating experience. Most stores have some paper method in place where cashiers enter start numbers when they begin their shift then end numbers when they get done and manually figure out how many they sold and how much they sold them for. If a book was activated during the shift that can throw a monkey wrench in the whole process and require the cashier to do even more math. Once done it’s usually faxed to corporate where someone then has to determine if they were over or short and then manually adjust the inventory in or out accordingly. All this for measly margins while selling a high internal theft item.

We understand the pains associated with this and worked to developed our lottery reconciliation package. Tickets are entered and are assigned a game number and bin. They are sold through our register as normal and at the end of a shift, the cashier reconciles them using either a handheld device, the POS  or the Backoffice. They enter the ending counts, any games that were activated and the details from the lotto machine. The starting count is perpetual and based off the last ending count, and although they can change it corporate is notified that it was changed and can see what the expected starting  count was. They can optionally see where they were over/short. Once saved, the data is pushed to corporate where any adjustments can automatically be applied to the inventory levels. Invoices can also be automatically created based on any activated books. All variances are shown and reports can be ran against a myriad of options. It’s lottery management, simplified.
