    Just been to Tesco to get my shopping and for some reason the checkout till was not doing the lottery, so I went to the customer service desk to get my lottery ticket.
    I got my tickets and they were not accepting cash so I had to pay with my credit card. 
    Will that be considered a cash transaction and incur any charges?
    I would look at the receipt but I never got one as the assistant had said I can't take cash in case it is infected so I said I don't want the receipt in case you have infected it.
    Nationwide Select credit card.
       

    Yup it will be charged as a cash transaction and you will incur a fee for using your credit card to pay for your lottery ticket?  Why didn't you use your debit card?
    Nope. The card issuer will see the till's merchant code i.e. supermarket and it will be a purchase.
