2024 taxes Reject Code FW2G-502

"W-2G Certain Gambling Winnings" does NOT list Federal Identification Number anywhere on the form - yet TurboTax is rejecting my filing because I cannot fill something in that I don't have access to.  I have called one casino and they don't have it - is there a work around this so I can still e-file (already paid their fee)?

I just tried this:  they take all the taxes out...again...   I've already had the taxes taken out (about 1K) at the time of winning thinking that would be easier.
