I play scratch it tickets for the lottery in my state. I've sometimes wondered if it would be easy to modify these tickets, so losers became winners. Have you heard of anyone doing that effectively?

I haven't heard of any reports of people modifiying scratch it tickets effectively so that they become winners. However, there have been numerous stories of legitimate scratch-off winners being refused their winnings due to technicalities, so there have been many lawsuits against states and lottery companies in attempts to recoup the money. 

In 2018, a Florida woman, Lerynne West, sued the Multi-State Lottery Association after she won a jackpot of $590 million and her winnings were reduced to $176 million due to "proper legal play rules." Although she ultimately won the lawsuit, it shows that the tactics used by lotteries are complex and can vary in their legality. It's unknown whether any modifications made to tickets can be considered legal and I would advice caution against trying to modify scratch it tickets on your own.
