Go back to ball drawings and sign ALL tickets on the back before you ever try to cash one, loser or not. you have just eliminated a lot of problems.

Also some state lotteries (such as MO) are releasing apps on smart phones now where you can scan your ticket yourself to determine if it is a winner or not.

It will not prevent dishonest cashiers from saying you didn't win on a ticket or you won less money then you did. It will not stop middlemen cashing in a ticket for another user that owes some type of debt. Tipton is one person out a dozen or so people in the nation that have that kind of access. Meanwhile their can be tens of thousands of incidents yearly of the other examples be it with jac... [ More ]

Iowa Lottery officials pledged Tuesday to tighten security of lottery tickets and bolster efforts to obtain restitution from persons convicted of lottery-related crimes.

The officials detailed their plans at a meeting of the Iowa Lottery Board in Clive, where they responded to allegations that security problems persist in the state-run lottery because of a failure to fix weaknesses spotted years earlier.
