By hand or an app — your pick. There is no choice on keeping records. If COAM machines are in your store, the records go with them. That is the deal.
Every redemption. Every single one:
The Lottery has said its inspectors check prize redemption and records on every visit — and they visited 599 locations in July 2026 alone. The day an inspector, the bank, or your Master asks, the records are what you show. A store with its records ready has a short visit. A store without them has a problem.
A notebook at the counter is allowed. But it only works if every clerk writes every redemption, every shift, every day — and if you can find last Tuesday when someone asks. Most stores that keep a notebook keep it well for a week. Then it gets busy.
Coam Tracker is one tap per ticket. The clerk taps, the record is made — who, when, which way, the ticket amount — and it is ready the day someone asks. Any phone or tablet. English & Español. It helps you keep the records Georgia law asks stores to keep — without the notebook.
