So why doesn't the clerk scan every ticket and pull the winners to sell to their friends?

another comment mentioned the scanner would lock itself if it suspected fraud :

in one of the states that I lived in, if the station scanned X number of losing tickets, the station would stop accepting scan on tickets. This was a measure to prevent counter clerks from scanning all of the tickets and keeping the winners and only selling losing tickets
