Is this possible, will it work?

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?

No its not possible. Those machines are programmed to not cash an IRS ticket. It beeps and says "withholding" or "irs" and spits the ticket back out.
Never happen.

Right, you get some type of message telling you to "Go to the IRS Window" ... i've tried

Why would you want to avoid paying taxes? Thats illegal. If you are that pathetic, then find a 10 % er, you know the bums who hang around tracks to cash people who have job's tickets. Funny how some people are so desperate to make a living.

No, I would not do that, just curious I was brainstorming, more like daydreaming, earlier today
