Most lotteries, all of them that I'm familiar with, blackout ticket sales for several minutes around the draw to avoid order sensitivity issues like this. It's funny, lotto vending machines here don't say when the drawings are for each game, but you can tell by reading the fine print for the five minute window where tickets are not sold.
Step 6 of this process was to subvert the machine and print a backdated ticket. How does blacking out ticket sales for five minutes around the draw help against that?
Presumably all ticket sales (including their numbers) are synchronously reported to the lottery office by the sales terminals. That would render backdating attacks detectable.
