If I were Filthy Rich
By Friendly-Treacle-142+32 Losing winning ticket
I always had this worry that if I won the 80 million lotto max jackpot in canada that the lottery person im supposed to hand it over too to get my prize will steal it. Does anyone else have this same worry? That the lotto agents you hand your ticket over to will steal it? Even if you sign it, they can just scribble it out and sign their signature.

+45 @LPNTed Google/YT. 'what to do when you win the lottery' Hint... Create an evidence trail you have it and it's yours. As in selfies with the ticket..
+35 @BlueRFR3100 It a lot of places, employees are not allowed to play the lottery.
+15 @KrAff2010 Lottery employees in the USA are not allowed to play them so they couldn’t claim them either. I have no worry that anyone with the lottery itself would take it. Also I’m fairly confident once your name is on it, even if crossed out, you’d almost certainly be able to get a claim on at least half of it through a civil lawsuit. For a big win like you described they’d almost certainly check security footage. If it’s seen on camera that you’re the one who bought it and/or it was bought with your debit/credit card then you’d also almost certainly be able to force a claim on the ticket. A woman in the USA had her nephew buy a ticket and when they won she sued him because she “never intended to split the money” even though she put his name on it. She ended up getting a majority share.
