Dunno

Somebody tried the same thing years ago

It was in the USA but I don’t remember which state

They could replace all of the numbers and the barcode too

It STILL wouldn’t check out as a winning ticket against the database

I just can’t believe people think they could fool the system so easily

I used to program bar code scanners for product and also shipping (different jobs)

The product bar codes were set against the database - they were even rejected at the scan gun itself if the product bar code was improperly scanned

THEN it was further analyzed by check digit math and the barcode split up if it had a supplemental bar code combined with a generic bar code (this was in the software)

IF it got past all of that, THEN it was checked against the database

From the looks of them, they need to be checked for drug use.
