$1 million Mega Millions prize won in Iowa will expire in two weeksReply
Rcb, it boils down to being lazy or irresponsible(sometimes both). Lack of ticket security on the players part should never require a safety net on the lottery's part. If any person becomes that careless with a ticket, they were never destined to have the financial rewards anyway.

$1.55 BILLION: Biggest Mega Millions jackpot ever to be drawn TuesdayReply
Well! I guess I'll be funding buying more tickets! You got to be in it to win it no matter how you feel about it! If the guy from California who won $2 Billion could win it and decide to show his face and waste hundreds of thousands of dollars on security why not me. Everyone has a chance

$70 million Canada Lotto Max jackpot-winning ticket expiresReply
Expired jackpots should be returned to the pool for the next draw! Returning it to the gov represent a clear conflict of interest. Obviously, lotteries don't put much efforts on locating the possible winners, even though there is security cams that can help ID the winner.

Massachusetts father and son sentenced to prison for decade-long $20M lottery ticket schemeReply
It also says the Jafaars cheated the IRS and took millions of Americans hard earned dollars. How is that different from what the IRS is doing taking Americans hard earned dollars, threatening government shutdown, and not paying the bills. Facing the debt ceiling ,cutting social security.

Florida woman sentenced to prison after altering and stealing lottery ticketsReply
Setting off an alarm in the form of a notification to the lottery's security department seems like a good idea. Returning an immediate result to the terminal saying that the ticket hasn't been validated seems like an even better idea.

California man claims winning $2.04 billion Powerball lottery ticket was stolen from himReply
The lottery knows to the second when and where the winning ticket was sold. They could review security camera footage to determine who was in the store at that time. Timothy Schultz recently interviewed retired Iowa lottery director Terry Rich. He stated that the lottery has agreements with the stores so they can review camera footage and see exactly who bought the ticket. In fact, he said security camera footage was used in the Eddie Tipton case. Timothy Schultz is a lottery winner him

Two $31 million Mega Millions lottery jackpots won in Massachusetts in one weekReply
I just tried to dream up a story about an MITer obtaining a lotto ticket printer and modifying the machine to print up a ticket with his numbers, but showing a QP, thereby masking how his/her numbers were picked. The MITer is working with an insider to rig the pick at HQ. The ball picking machine is rigged with magnets turned on at moment of draw. The MITer defeats the security through obscurity methods used at Mega Millions HQ.

Canadian woman too shocked to tell mother about $60 million Lotto Max jackpotReply
She gave the ticket to the clerk ( sound familiar?) There was a jingle and OLG called the store and told her it was 60 million. Is this a security feature that when a big ticket winner is scanned Ontario Lottery Games called the place where the ticket was scanned?

$1.35 BILLION: Mega Millions jackpot set to deliver unimaginable wealthReply
I can't imagines a sensible reason why resolving a security problem in one state would stop anyone from buying a ticket, but some people are saying all drawings are rigged because of that delay.
