Spanish term or phrase: INUTILIZADO
This word is in a stamp on a ticket that is proof of payment. It seems as if it were invalidating it. There is a similar question already asked by another translator from Venezuela but none of the answers seem applicable in this case. Thanks in advance!!!

English translation:VOID
Explanation:
This would be how a ticket would usually be stamped in such a context in the US, although here usually most of the ticket is retained by the seller and the purchaser is given a stub.

The word "inutilizado", which literally translates as "unused" seems strange here.

Suerte.

Puede que pagó a este recibo, y luego por cualquier razón no se necesitaba mas y se confirma con el sello, que no ha sido usado para lo que sea.
