Review the game flare to verify the ideal gross receipts and total ideal prizes available including the last sale prize, if any.
Count all unsold tickets.
Add the prize values of all redeemed tickets.
Verify the above figures with the Schedule B2 information. To assure the accuracy of reporting actual long/short amounts, do the math as explained in the column headings of the Schedule B2.
Compare the cash-in-hand amounts on the Schedule B2 to the amount on the deposit receipt.
Review the prize receipts for clear and complete information.
Are they signed by the employee and the winner?
Do they contain the date and time?
Has all required information been completed?
Was the redemption made during business hours?
Do signatures appear valid?
If the answer is “no” to any of the above questions regarding prize receipts, review with the sellers the procedures for completing the prize receipts. Contact a Compliance Specialist with any concerns.
Are lessors, lessor family members, or gambling employees signing as the winner? If the answer is “yes” review with the sellers and/or the lessor the restrictions of who may and may not play.
Examine the tickets
Have winning tickets been defaced?
Verify that serial and part numbers correspond between tickets, flare, invoice, and perpetual inventory.
Is the game listed on the invoice correctly?
Examine the unsold tickets to verify that they have not been tampered with. Broken perforations on the windows of a paper pull-tab ticket may indicate that an individual has been manipulating tickets (called “peeking” or “cracking”) to identify winners. If tampered tickets are found, contact a Compliance Specialist at the Gambling Control Board.
