"The California Lottery is not authorized to investigate criminal activity among its players; such allegations are subject to investigation only by local law enforcement," said Carolyn Becker, CA Lottery spokesperson."Should a local law enforcement agency investigate such allegations, Lottery’s only role is to assist in the matter by answering questions and/or providing evidence as allowed under the law.
The investigation involves a background check with specific questions. For example, everyone knows where a winning ticket was sold, but not everyone knows what day or time. Was it a quick pick or custom number? Was there one ticket on the pay slip or multiple?
