ARKANSAS LOTTERY DRAWINGS TO BE COMPUTERIZEDReply
I can't speak for Michigan, but I know Missouri has numerous procedures to prevent tampering.

Even though you find a few bad apples, I'd say most are pretty vigilant about preventing fraud.

Lottery heartbreak: Florida man says he lost $500,000 ticketReply

Lottery winner loses ticket, awarded unspent portion from couple who found itReply
The trick is to say you found some money but not specify how much, really weeds out the dishonest people, obviously there's probable exceptions like if it's a buck or two that most likely aren't going to be missed at all. Owners of lost winning tickets aren't something that would be too hard to find. Especially when so many places have security cameras now days, never mind if someone actually takes and keeps their receipts.

$25M lottery scam aimed at elderly bustedReply
I remember when someone claming to be a credit card company called and said they got all my personal information from my bank. They wanted me to confirm the information, by giving them my social security number and birthday. I told them to **** off.

Connecticut man sues friend for share of lottery prizeReply
Well one would deduce that a gated community would provide more safety and privacy and much cheaper than having your own security team. I can definitely see the logic behind it. I would certainly consider a move like that but have the sense enough to keep up with my dues!

Arkansas lottery retailers to be policed for fraud, officials sayNews Story
The legislation laying the groundwork for Arkansas' lottery does not require it, but officials say they expect the lottery system to include a security division that will be on the lookout for fraud by retailers. The problem of fraud by lottery retailers gained new attention in the U.S. in the wake of a 2007 scandal in Canada, where investigators found that retailers and their employees were winning a disproportionately large number of prizes.
