One Response to “Why does the store that sold the winning lottery ticket get a cash bonus? Who pays the bonus?”
It’s kind of a promotion to encourage businesses to sell lottery tickets. The profit margin on selling scratcher tickets and having a lotto machine is actually pretty slim. The bonus comes out of the states’ earnings pool.
