Best to find a machine where you can verify your own 649, Super 7 etc. The latest scam is for counter clerks to switch your ticket when they go to their machine behind the counter. They verify a non-winner and after you have left the store, scan yours. The story broke on the Fifth Estate tonight but apparently this has happened in the states also.

Two obvious counter-measures
1 Check your own tickets on http://diffusion.loto-quebec.com/sw3/res/asp/index.asp?l=1 or, if in a store, ask for a printout.
2 Mark the ticket and ask for it back even if if not declared a winner.

The best to do
To make sure:
1- Check your ticket (mark it as said before) or if you always take the same number then you know it's your ticket;
2- After validation, take it back with the validation paper and verify your ticket registration number and compare it to the validation number. Have to be the same!
Good luck!
