• Repeat this process until all tickets are entered, up to 10 scratch tickets can be scanned at one time. Tickets will automatically send when a tenth ticket is scanned.

Scanning the EZ Val Barcode

Retailers can utilize the GT-1200 ticket scanner to scan the EZ Val Barcode located on the front of each Scratch Ticket. 

• • NOTE – Barcode is not visible until it is exposed after ticket is scratched

Repeat this process until all tickets are entered, up to 10 scratch tickets can be scanned at one time. Tickets will automatically send when a tenth ticket is scanned.

If the EZ Val Barcode is not scannable, then Retailers can scan the long barcode on the back of the Scratch Ticket. When this barcode is scanned, the system will ask the Retailer to enter the ticket’s PIN number. The Pin Numbers can be found in the serial number on the front of the ticket, indicated by the small boxes surrounding the numbers.

Manual Validation Procedures

Retailers can also manually enter the serial number and the 3 or 4 digit security number (VIRN) located on the front of the ticket using the numeric touchpad located on the GT-1200. 

When Manually entering the serial number, Retailers will skip the PIN numbers in the boxes.

After all  the numbers not in boxes have been entered, the Retailer will then enter the PIN numbers last.
