California lottery officials advise members of lottery pools to have photo copies of tickets -- front and back -- to protect members.

I have never heard of a problem caused by a photo of a winning ticket.

What is the problem with posting a photo of a sports betting ticket? Are casino rules that much different from state lottery rules? I'd think all rules were set up to protect players as well as the organizations. I know that with the lottery there is a confirmation process if a ticket is lost and a photo is presented.
