I occasionally see news stories of a robbery or burglary where the perpetrator cops some scratch tickets along with the other stuff.

with the lottery folks simply be able to void that batch of tickets? or, even more, use those tickets to catch him if he tries to cash in?

Aren't scratch tickets activated in the lottery system at the moment of purchase anyway? They have serial numbers
