      How the hell would they know who? They have no clue who buys the ticket whatsoever. Even if you use a credit card to pay for your ticket. The credit/debit machine is separate from the lottery terminal. Not to mention, if you use cash, is there some magical tracking device or does the retailer scan your money for fingerprinting? Seriously, how do they know who you are when you buy a ticket. Tell me what conspiracy theory makes you say that.

      It is in the coded numbers on the ticket. They want to know if you KNOW the answer.
      What if you found the ticket on the ground?
      Finders Keepers, right?
      This became an issue because retailers/cashiers were asked by customers to check their tickets, and started scamming them. They would keep a losing ticket nearby, machine would say “no prize”, then the scammers would check the tickets later.
      It worked well until someone’s regular numbers won, and he saw the retailer holding the prize cheque (for his numbers)

      The OLG has to determine who the actual winner is. If you cannot prove you are the rightful owner they will have to investigate and this can take weeks....that is where "they won't let her collect her prize". Afterwards if they still have some doubt, but think it might be legit they can put your name as a winner publicly and withhold the winnings for a period of time, and if there are no disputes they then pay you out.
      They are mandated by law to find the rightful owner so no they cannot give it out willy nilly
