An employee on March 19th, 2022 at Belmont Beverage located on Lima road was given a stack of scratch off's and lottery tickets to scan. Both my husband and I were present.
The employee proceeded to say "oh a $20 winner" and scanned the rest. When he came back to the register he said our total for our purchase and I said "I thought we won $20", to which he responded "oh, it was $2 and here's some free tickets you won". No money was taken off our purchase and interestingly enough he did not give us a receipt.
My husband and I both thought he was acting strange, working slowly and just "off". We are not very confrontational so we just shrugged and left....
Well I left a review on Belmont's FB page and it is now removed. They had replied stating they found their draw was over by $20 that night and that their employee was new and wasn't familiar with the lottery scanning just yet (he wasn't new, I've seen him working there for a while) and that we could come get the $20.
Fast forward to last night, my husband goes to scan the "free tickets" we won only to have them come up saying "already claimed" and realized we were handed back our own tickets from the night of the 19th that we had taken in.
So not only were we not given $20 for the scratch off we won but who even knows how much the other 3 tickets were worth?!?!? (I guess that employee knows since they took it)
JUST FYI for those who use this location or any Belmont for that matter, I know their employees float around locations at times. read more
