What if I win the jackpot at a vages casino but dont have id or social security on me?

Question

Worst case scenario I left it back home in California .... what happens then?

Answer 1

If you traveled from California to Vegas without any ID, it's pretty dumb.  You could get carded at random or refused service without having ID.

But in the worst case scenario you would have to make arrangements to prove your identity and fill out the appropriate tax forms.  They would be happy to hold your money for you until you could prove your identity.

But never go to a casino without ID.  It's that simple.

Answer 2

you may have to fill out an I9 form or you may have to have someone overnight it to you
