vegas mail in winning ticket

No fee. Just make sure to photocopy your winning ticket for your records and send it via certified mail.

Your addressed envelope will get lots of curious eyes on it when it reads "MGM Grand Accounting Department" as the recipient!

Chad....For legal purposes, the back of the ticket does list an expiration; but most of the major operations, MGM for one, keep their info in the system much longer than 120 days.....It's always worth putting a ticket into the scanner to see.

More important on these tickets is to keep the info on the front from fading and being unreadable....If you have a big ticket, it's always important to make a  xerox copy of the ticket. While not an original, a well-run book can, most of the time, find the original transaction and pay the customer.

Good info. Not sure if I'd personally ever risk the 120 day period based on the fact that info is in the system though. Not if the back of the ticket states it's void after that time like they most do!

Appreciate the time in explaining. The mail-in process is easy. Not sure why anyone would ever choose not to mail it in to get their cash sooner

as one of the few on here who live and worked in a book you can send the tickets in with the confidence it will be paid.

The accounting dept has race and sports auditors who are in the book early in the am when they run the tickets in the system and will then go back to their dept to cut you the check.

Your name and address needs to be filled out on the ticket and definatley send it certified.

Revis, it could take 30 days wire to wire, as the auditors will allow a number of tickets to come in and then will take a hundered or so in one shot to the book to cash them and then issue the check.

If you have a copy of the ticket and say after 45 days have nothing call the venetian and talk to the accounting the department.

Yavapai.........curious, why would you take a screen name based upon old Prescott Downs?
