I'm hoping MN Lottery lets me do this! Can anyone do this, or were these lottery officials just being nice? A guy in Des Moines named Tyler Heep showed up at Iowa Lottery headquarters last week to collect his winnings on a scratcher ticket worth $1. Obviously he could have just cashed it at 7-Eleven or something. But he wanted to see what they'd do.
Instead of cash, he asked for a check, one of those GIANT checks people get when they win a million bucks.
