Understand your payout transactions better.
Payout Transactions Report
What This Report Is
This report shows all lottery payouts made at your store. It includes which cashier handled the payout, how much was paid, and when the transaction happened.
Why It Matters
- Helps track lottery cash flow and reduce loss
- Catches suspicious or repeated payouts
- Confirms cashier activity during specific shifts
- Supports audit reviews if a mistake or theft is suspected
What to Look For
- Cashier Name – Who processed the payout
- Payout Amount – Watch for unusually high or frequent payouts
- Transaction Time – Check for odd times (e.g., many payouts close together)
- Payout Description – Confirm that payouts are properly labeled (usually “Lotto Payout”)
What to Do
- Review Daily Totals: Check if any one cashier is doing a high number or value of payouts
- Flag Large Payouts: Investigate any high payout amounts (e.g., over $100) to make sure they were legitimate
- Spot Patterns: Look for payouts happening repeatedly at the same time or by the same person—could be a red flag
- Print for Records: Keep a weekly or daily copy for your accountant or franchise auditor if needed
