Some of the gas stations used to require the purchase of a numbers ticket, but it looks like that requirement has changed. Maybe other shoppers complained as I did, because it only reimbursed $1 for the ticket, after the state increased the cost to $2. I only completed them for a bonus, simply due to the pricing issue not being addressed. A ticket is a ticket is a ticket. If they can't afford an extra $1 to check compliance for something that they utilize to attract customers, fuhgettaboutit. Cheap.

Yeah, there was a Shop Metrics company in my area that shopped the lottery ticket process. I could build a route of them and make some good profit, even though the base rate was low, since the time on site was never more than 10 minutes. So when I could do 5 in an hour, it was a pretty good profit. I did them ONLY because they had the lottery portion of the shop. That's gone for now, so I'm doing any of the convenience shops.

Wouldn't it be cool to have a shop for lottery and win big? I wonder if we would be able to keep the winnings.

Shopping Arkansas, Louisiana, & Mississippi.

I once won $250 on an OTB shop. Got to keep it and everything else was reimbursed, plus decent shop fee. It's the only way I gamble (at no cost to me).

I've done convenience store shops in Canada with Intouch Insight which required a lottery ticket purchase and was reimbursed. It wasn't a compliance shop so I have no idea why they were so specific about buying a lottery ticket.

Nice. I haven't won nearly that much on any shop. I did quit doing most of the casinos where winnings had to be returned. Same with ones where it's aggregated; it was frustrating to balance the loss against the win and come away with nothing.

When the Shop Metrics MSC that did these shops were still doing the lottery portion of it, I emailed the scheduler and asked that very question. I was told, in writing, that any winnings would be mine to keep! So that would have been cool, but I never won more than $20.00 from it.

But other MSCs that shop casinos and such don't always let you keep winnings from that. Some do, some don't. I don't shop casinos, but I've read that from other shoppers here who do shop casinos.

Seems to me that if I was doing a casino mystery shop, and I somehow won $100,000 or more (not sure what my real threshold would be, but more than $10,000 for sure), I would develop a case of amnesia and not even remember that I was doing a shop! Why more than $10,000 and not more than $100? Because once the MSC found out, it would likely be my last mystery shop for any MSC.
