Or would a winner be forced to leave the airport to claim their prize & obtain the necessary forms? I'm unsure I could handle going through TSA unnecessarily just for a slots jackpot prize.
If I win $10 million, I can handle missing my flight. But as previously mentioned, they have personnel right there to handle the paperwork and payoffs. If your win is substantial enough, you could always avoid the TSA by chartering a private jet to take you and your briefcase of cash home.
