He takes his winning ticket and puts it in the self service machine. Would it not just print you off a voucher for $1,400?

Then, Joe Blow bettor plugs in $500 to win on a horse in a race 1 hour away, and $400 to win and $500 to place on another horse in another race.

Then, he decides he wants to just get a refund (hint) before the races go off. Would he not get his $1,400 and avoid the Tax Man?
