After Winning The Lottery, Should You Tip Your Lotto Store?
"I have something for you," I said, slipping her an envelope, and watching as she opened it.
"Oh my goodness!" she said, "Is this for real?" She flipped through the notes that I knew added up to $1,000 in total.
I explained to her that when I won some serious prizes I would share some of my winnings with her. And I always follow through.
Now I'm one of their favorite clients!
Some people don't think a tip is necessary. They argue that the shop may get publicity from the winning tickets anyway, and in some countries some lottery franchisees get a small percentage of the prize.
But I recommend you 'tip' the store for these reasons:
- It makes you unforgettable. Just think of the number of winners who don't tip (and from my talks with many shops - they don't). It's always a good thing to have some karmic credit going.
- You will be popular with them for years ahead. You will get little discounts here and there that add up to a very happy way to shop!
- It is no loss to you. Only give in proportion to your prize. My own guide is for every prize over $50,000 I would give $1,000. Under that it would be 1%, starting at $1,000.
What a great way to think about distributing your wealth!
