[Goat Blower]

I've had a few winners try to buy a car with a starter check where they wrote in their name at the top. I don't think so, come back with cash, which of course never happened. I take checks in some rare instances and it's usually from someone older with a check number well above 5000. I usually also have them show me their account balance online, since every bank does that now. Cashier's check or credit card is usually the way to go on purchases over $500, but cc fees are spendy and you still have to watch out for bad cashier's checks.
