Working as a store clerk selling lottery tickets ..... the salary stinks ..... but the pay is great!

This varies from state to state but assuming you are claiming a win in NH, any prize that exceeds $599.00 has to go through the lottery HQ in Concord. I believe there is a claim form that needs to be filled out as well. Pretty much every state has similar requirements just the increments are different. So to answer your question no you don't take a 1.6B winning ticket to the place you bought it.
