An embodiment of the present invention will be described based on the drawings. First, a counter A1 and a counter B2 are provided adjacent to each other. There are quite a number of these counters, but for convenience of explanation, only two are illustrated.
An employee A3 is placed at the counter A1, and an employee B4 is placed at the counter B2. Also,
An operator console A6 and an operator console B7 are arranged on the counter 5 in correspondence with the windows A, B1, and 2. These consoles A, B6, and 7 have an operation section 8 for inputting data using a numeric keypad, etc., and two display sections, a lower display section 9 and an upper display section 10.
and a confirmation button 11 are provided. These operation consoles A, B6, and 7 are respectively automatic cash dispensers 12.
It is connected to the. On both sides of the front side of this automatic cash dispenser 12, there are a cash tray A13 that opens toward the employee A3 side and a cash tray B14 that opens toward the employee B4 side, and these cash trays A, B1.

The sorting mechanism 17 includes a motor 18 that rotates forward or reverse based on a cash feed signal, and a banknote conveyance belt 20 wound around two rollers 19. The motor 18 and the banknote conveyance belt 20 are connected to a connecting belt 21. are connected by Further, the sorting mechanism 1 is located at the longitudinal center of the automatic cash dispenser 12.
A banknote transport path 22 that reaches the center of the banknote 7 is formed by a plurality of opposing rollers 23 and a guide bar 24, and this banknote transport path 22 is connected to a banknote supply section (not shown).

Note that 25 is the winning ticket.

In such a configuration, first, a state in which the winning ticket 25 is presented from the counter A1 will be described.
At this time, the employee A3 receives the winning ticket 25 and checks whether it is a winning ticket. If the ticket is not a winning ticket, it is returned, and if it is a winning ticket, the user operates the operation section 8 to input data. the result,
