Preprinted game tickets, such as pull tab tickets or instant game lottery tickets, are dispensed from a vending machine. A selection option on the vending machine allows the patrons to select either redemption of the value of the winning ticket at the vending machine immediately after purchasing the ticket if the ticket is a winning ticket, or deferral of redemption of the value of the winning ticket immediately after purchasing the ticket if the ticket is a winning ticket. A ticket dispenser dispenses the purchased winning ticket after a selection option is made. A ticket marker in the vending machine visually defaces winning tickets as they are dispensed only if a patron selects the option to redeem the value of the winning ticket at the vending machine immediately after purchasing the ticket. The visual defacing of the winning tickets inhibits attempts to perform deferred redemption of the winning tickets.

For each vended ticket, an indication is received from a patron for inputting into a vending machine of a total wager amount for payment of a ticket. The total wager amount is determined from the base ticket denomination and a multiple of the base ticket denomination that the patron selects for the ticket. The ticket is dispensed from the vending machine, The vending machine indicates on a winning dispensed ticket, using a ticket marker in the vending machine, an indicia of the total wager amount that visually communicates the multiple of the base ticket denomination that the patron selected. The indicia is not a numerical value. The indicia is used to determine the value of the winning ticket.
