XchangeIT Lottery Interface

The XchangeIT Lottery Interface enables Idealpos to process lottery sales and lottery payments from the XchangeIT Terminal Connect service.

The interface works as follows:

Sale of Lottery products

The customer at the newsagency fills out lottery slip(s) with their lottery numbers and presents them to the operator.
The operator inserts the customer's lottery slip(s) into the S8/Wave 8 Lottery Terminal.
The S8/Wave 8 Lottery Terminal prints out a slip containing a list of Lottery products that were purchased with a barcode at the bottom of the slip - the operator will scan the barcode on the slip into the Idealpos POS Terminal.
Alternatively, the operator can press a Lottery Connect button on the Idealpos POS screen which will request the current "sessions" in the Lottery message pool; they can then select the correct session that corresponds to the customer's purchase.
The Lottery products that were purchased will be entered into the sale.
The sale is tendered and the customer pays for the lottery products.
After the sale is tendered, the S8/Wave 8 Lottery Terminal will print the final lottery tickets for the operator to give to the customer.

Payout of Lottery products

The customer presents their lottery ticket to the operator.
Operator inserts the customer's ticket into the S8/Wave 8 Lottery Terminal.
If the ticket is a winning ticket, a Payout slip is printed from the terminal.
Operator scans the payout slip barcode into the Idealpos POS Terminal.
Alternatively, the operator can press the Lottery Connect button on the POS Screen which will request the current "sessions" in the Lottery message pool; they can then select the correct session that corresponds to the customer's win.
The winning lottery item will appear in the sale as a refund.
Sale is tendered and winnings are paid out to the customer.
