The 5 Star Retailer Club was launched in FY08 to recognize our independent retailers for meeting or exceeding $1,000,000 in overall sales for the fiscal year. We just finished our 8th year and gained 13 new retailers! 1011 WEST MAIN STREET LOUISVILLE KY 40202 This is how the club works: each fiscal year retailers with $1,000,000 or more in sales are identified and the tracking data base is updated. Retailers that are identified as “New” receive a Silver Bowl, 2 Jackets for the owner(s) and 10T-shirts for their staff. We also have a couple of options for flex board signage if allowed. Each additional year a retailer maintains their $1,000,000 status they receive a plate for their bowl base to help keep track of all the years they have maintained this status. Do you have what it takes to join this club?

Network NL 10-15:Network NL 08 R 9/23/15 7:35 AM E Page 2 T A I Security Spotlight “Already Paid” Tickets L Over the past several months, there has been a significant increase in “Already Paid” ticket complaints filed with the KLC Security Department. Player complaints indicate that when they attempt to redeem tickets, the clerks will often explain that they don’t have enough cash on hand to pay the ticket, and will give the ticket back to the player. When the player later attempts to redeem the ticket at a different retail location, the terminal will show that the ticket was “Already Paid”. Obviously, the original retailer clerk, who the ticket had initially been presented to either (A) scanned the ticket too fast, or; (B) indicated “Yes” at the confirmation screen. If the validation report indicates that the retailer was credited for the prize amount, but didn’t pay the player and the complaint cannot be resolved with the retailer, the KLC is obligated to pay the ticket since it is a bearer instrument. If this happens the amount will then be charged back to the retailer who received the credit. Please ensure that your clerks pay attention to the confirmation screens that appear when validating a ticket with a value of $50 and up and only hit “Yes” when they have the money to pay the ticket! Training Reminder Have you ever scanned a ticket and received the message “Game Not Found”? This message occurs when a ticket has expired and can no longer be claimed. Scratch-off tickets can be cashed for 180 days AFTER the date the game ends. Draw Game tickets can be cashed for 180 AFTER the draw date. If you receive this message when scanning a ticket, please return the ticket to the customer and explain the 180 day rule. Please make sure your clerks understand what this message means and can communicate to your players accordingly. Once a ticket expires, it can no longer be claimed. Kentucky’s Keno is now available statewide! Effective August 31, 2015 all retailers with a lottery terminal or vending machine can produce a Keno ticket. Keno is a game predominately played in social environments. As such, the lottery introduced the game at about 500 bars, taverns, restaurants, and social establishments in November 2013. Since then, the game has caught on in popularity and is now offered anywhere lottery tickets are sold. Players who can’t watch the drawing numbers on a monitor at a social establishment are encouraged to check their numbers at kylottery.com or at ticket checkers at all lottery retailers. Keno is the 4th most popular Kentucky Lottery game behind Scratchoffs, Pick 3 and Powerball. Welcome aboard to our newest Keno Retailers!

Since that time more retailers have signed up for allocations which increased the number of allocated packs so that now we are exceeding the set quantity and some retailers aren’t getting face cards at all! We are currently working with our scratch-off vendor to make adjustments for future games however, our working schedule is so far out we will continue to see shortages for the balance of this calendar year. The regions will continue to get extra cards so hopefully you won’t be without a face card for too long. Sorry for any inconvenience this may cause.
