Daily Lottery Close Checklist for Convenience Stores

Use this daily lottery close checklist to verify terminal sales, scratch-off movement, payouts, cancels, cash, and exception review before a manager signs off.

What this checklist prevents

A lottery close can look finished while still hiding a missing book movement, payout entry, or cash variance. This checklist gives managers a fixed order of review so each close is judged the same way.

When to move from paper to software

A paper checklist can help one store get consistent. Once exceptions repeat, multiple people close lottery, or owners need multi-day visibility, LottoTally can turn the same workflow into tracked review and source-preserving reporting.

Daily lottery close checklist

  • Record terminal sales, online payouts, cancels, and cash due before comparing totals.
  • Count activated scratch-off books and note ending ticket numbers by game.
  • Review missing ticket value, cash over-short, and unresolved exceptions before signoff.
  • Save the manager review time and the person responsible for follow-up.
