Dummie's Utilities

Four things a lottery store needs, sold one at a time.

Numbers on the TV, the shift scanned instead of counted twice, POS prices you can actually change, and a check record that survives an audit. Buy the one you need. They work on their own.

The products

Lottery Results Board

Winning numbers on the TV behind your counter.

Georgia draw results and jackpots on a TV, refreshed for you, so nobody has to ask the clerk what last night's number was.

For
Any store that sells lottery and has a TV customers can see.
Needs
A TV with an HDMI port and the streaming stick we set up for you. Wi-Fi only — nothing plugs into your register.
  • Text-only game names and numbers, sized to read from the counter line.
  • Numbers come down automatically if they go more than 15 minutes stale, or if the TV loses the server for 90 seconds — a blank panel is honest, yesterday's number is not.
  • Rotates with the ticket board when you have both on one screen.
  • Informational only: every ticket still gets checked at the terminal.

GA Lottery Station

Scan the shift instead of counting it twice.

Scan your ticket packs at shift change and the counts, the over/short and the pack inventory come out the other side.

For
The person who does the lottery paperwork at shift change.
Needs
A Windows PC at or behind the counter, plus a barcode scanner if you want to scan instead of type.
  • Pack activation, settle and box changes, with the counts kept per shift.
  • Your data lives on your PC. The website only holds what it needs to license the app and to keep an encrypted backup you can restore.
  • Backups: the PC encrypts before uploading, so the backup is unreadable to us — write the recovery phrase down, we cannot recover it for you.
  • Runs read-only rather than locking you out if the subscription lapses or the PC has been off the internet for three days.

Add-on: Lottery Grid Board — $19 per billing period per screen

Puts your scratch-off box positions, prices and what is left on the same TV, updated from the scans your counter PC is already doing. Only sold with GA Lottery Station.

Commander Backoffice

Change POS prices without the Commander's own tooling.

Price and PLU maintenance for a Verifone Commander, from a normal PC in the back room, with the fuel and pricebook jobs on one page.

For
Whoever keeps prices and PLUs straight on a Commander site.
Needs
A Windows PC on the same network as the Commander.
  • PLUs, prices, groups, promotions, fuel and taxes.
  • Your Commander credential is entered on that PC and stays there. It is never sent to this website, and neither are your sales.
  • Cloud backups of the Commander configuration are off unless you turn them on.

Check Cashing

A record of every check you cash, with the ID attached.

Scans the customer's ID at the counter and keeps the check record with it, so you can find any customer's history in seconds.

For
Stores that cash checks and want the paperwork to survive an audit.
Needs
A Windows PC at the counter and an ID/barcode scanner on a COM port.
  • Customer records, check history and ID images, all stored on your PC.
  • Nothing about a customer, an ID or a check ever reaches this website — the only thing the counter PC sends up is that it is licensed.
  • It is a recordkeeping aid. It does not approve checks, and it does not process payments.

The TV keeps itself updated. The PCs keep working offline for three days if your internet drops.
