What To Do With New Scratcher Pack Inventory?

Handling New Scratch Ticket Inventory

It might seem natural to perform a backstock audit on newly arrived scratcher packs as soon as they’re delivered—but that’s not the best approach when using LottoShield.

Stores that do this frequently end up auditing only the new packs and accidentally skip their existing backstock, causing LottoShield to flag those older packs as missing.

How LottoShield Handles New Packs

The good news is that LottoShield already knows when new packs are issued and will automatically recognize when they’ve arrived in your backstock—usually by the next morning.

This happens automatically through LottoShield’s state lottery integration, so no immediate manual audit is required.

Recommended Process

When new packs arrive:

1. Confirm them at your state lottery terminal.
   
   
2. Add them to your existing backstock storage area.
   
   
3. Continue performing your daily or weekly backstock audits as usual.
   
   

By following this process, all of your packs—both new and existing—will stay properly tracked and in sync with LottoShield.
