Abstract
Systems, methods, and machines for automatically verifying the authenticity and integrity of a ticket such as an instant lottery ticket, a draw lottery ticket, a passive lottery ticket, and/or a Ticket In Ticket Out (Tito) ticket. The systems, methods, and machines verify the authenticity and integrity of a ticket by capturing a first image of the ticket, verifying that the first captured image does not show an apparent steganographic pattern, processing the first captured image to produce a second image, and then verifying that the second image does show an apparent steganographic pattern.
