If you do when the lottery, there are a few suggestions from the people at Forbes.com that you might want to heed, including doing something as simple as sign the back of the ticket. You didn't sign the ticket and someone else grabs it from you, they can sign it, say it's their ticket and suddenly that money is not yours.
