For convenience store owners

Questions from actual owners.

Same Lottery terminal. No new hardware. No fee to the winner or the store.

Pay the winner. Protect the till. Keep the customer.

The product

What is VCPayNow?

VCPayNow issues an instant Mastercard-network virtual debit at the counter. You validate the ticket the way you do today, then pay the winner with a card instead of pulling cash from the drawer.

The winner adds it to Apple Pay or Google Pay and can tap for fuel, food, and merchandise — in your store — before they hit the door.

What prizes can I pay this way?

Issue VCPayNow Virtual Cards on validated Lottery prizes of $600 or less. You can also use it on other payments you make out of the till: vendor reimbursements, manager payouts, cashed checks, and goodwill payments.

VCPayNow is built for the prizes that actually hit your register.

What does it cost the store? The winner?

No fee to the winner. No fee to the store. No setup fee. No maintenance fee. Ever.

At the register

Do I need new hardware?

No. Same Lottery terminal. Same process you already trust. If you can validate a ticket, you can issue a card.

What are the payment steps?

Validate the ticket the way you do today.

Issue a VCPayNow card instead of cash, a check, or a money order.

Deliver a text or printed QR. The winner loads the virtual card to Apple Pay or Google Pay.

The winner is satisfied — and spends. They can tap-to-pay immediately in your store, and anywhere Mastercard debit is accepted.

What if the winner wants cash instead?

Cash is still an option when the till can cover it. VCPayNow allows you to avoid keeping money in the till “just in case.”

You become the store that never says “come back tomorrow.”

What if the winner does not have a smartphone?

Most winners in this prize range have a phone wallet. If they don't have a smart phone, they can still get the virtual card credentials.

Can the winner buy more lottery tickets with the card?

Yes. This is a Mastercard debit card authorized to buy lottery tickets.

The pilot

How does a one-store pilot work?

Pick one location. Run it 30 days. No setup or maintenance fees. If the drawer is not calmer, stop.

The first call is 15 minutes: review the process and timeline for implementation.

Who is this for?

Convenience stores that already pay Lottery prizes and are tired of draining the drawer to do it.

Still have a till question?

Book a 15-minute pilot call. One store. Thirty days.
