+11 Cashing out medium size winners?

In California at least, anything above $600 must be claimed through a lottery office, while anything below can be claimed at a lottery retailer. I just hit a $400 winner on a scratcher but my usual gas station told me they don’t have enough cash on hand, and I got a similar answer at another gas station when I went to cash the ticket. What places have enough cash on hand to cash this ticket? Or do I need to go through the lottery office?
