How many NTF'S?  This is a question one will often see when completing our Ohio Lottery Application.   NTF stands for Non-Transfer of Funds.

An NTF may occur due to the following:

• Failure of the retailer to deposit the funds into the lottery bank account at the Time when the Ohio Lottery sweeps the account.
• Large weekly invoice amount due to stolen instant tickets. (Note: the Ohio Lottery currently has a policy whereby retailers are liable for stolen tickets when certain lottery procedures are not followed. Although these situations are not common, there is always a small risk these events will occur.)
• Intentional or deliberate failure of the retailer to fund the appropriate bank account in a timely manner.
• Bank error or omission.
• Failure of the retailer to timely notify the Lottery regarding changes to the Retailer’s dedicated Lottery bank account.
