Also, why the hell can't the incorrect situation just be voided out and corrected? Massachusetts must be 60 years behind in technology.
If she'd never won a jackpot before she wouldn't have been in their system to double-check that way. You'd think the child support check would also check the name against the SSN when they do the run for that but then again maybe not as that would be an easy way for people who owe child support to get around the withholding, or would also put the burden on the casino to double check when names don't match which is probably something they don't want to do.

I personally always either watch them write down my SSN and check that it's correct, or ask to fill it in myself.
