■ State owed debt reviews for 5754s and annual deferred payments

■ Paying a claim in a district office after Headquarters or a Security review

■ Rolling multiple claims into one payment

■ Blocking payments of prizes for various reasons (tickets, players or information)

■ Identifying duplicate social security numbers

■ All tickets are scanned – virtually no manual entry

■ Deferred payment processing

Why do we consider our new system more effective?

■District players owing state owed debt can be paid without Headquarters interaction; player dissatisfaction minimized since they are getting immediate resolution

■Quicker payment time due to automation

■Districts can handle many of the second chance promotional prizes rather than delays in mailing from Headquarters

Security is ALWAYS Paramount

■Allows for defined and random audit of ticket stock

■Claims are trackable when in non-payable status

■Automated exception code assignments

■Ability to block transactions types (restricted players, ownership concerns, etc.)

■Ability to conceal unnecessary personal or private data from view only users.
