Wouldn't the owner of the stolen credit card technically be the legal owner of the ticket, and thus the winnings?
Human progress isn't measured by industry. It's measured by the value you place on a life.
Just, be kind.
Nobody plays the lottery because they think the odds are good. People buy lottery tickets in spite of the low chance of actually winning big because they hope to buck the odds.

I read a book once where bad gamblers typically describe their results the same way "About even...maybe a little up."

Should go to whomever owned the card.
you can make that argument about literally anything that isn't food or water. that's basically what your argument boils down to. its failed before and it would fail again. in fact look at all the illegal gambling sites and what not that exist despite the bans on them. of course there should be more money spent on combating addicative gambling.

Honestly I feel the Credit Card company should get the winnings. When purchases are made with a stolen credit card the credit card company has to eat the losses on anything not recovered. Since you can't refund a lottery ticket (especially after the drawing) the credit card company is out the money used to make the purchase. There is precedent for this in that I know that credit card companies do hold auctions (at least in the United States) for goods recovered in this manner in attempt to get their money back.
Don't get me wrong, I have no love for credit card companies but this seems like the proper route.
Proceeds of crime, so obviously the person who stole the credit cards shouldn't get the money.
As for it going to the victim, unfortunately I think that's also not okay. If someone went and bought a TV, you don't keep the TV and also get your money refunded. And most people would not WANT to keep the TV and not get their money back (if they did, they'd have bought it themselves). So unless the law says that you can choose to either get a refund OR keep the items, it should be handled the same way any other transaction would be. Refunded money, no keeping anything.
This is just common thinking to easily answer. If they did which they did not than they would be rewarding her with committing theft and fraud. So no she should not keep it if she didnt use her own money to buy the ticket.
They pay it out and then take her assets if they know she has stolen credit cards. Having and using stolen credit cards isn't a crime in Canada?

You really should read the whole story. Kinda answers your question
The 33-year-old suspect, who was taken into custody on Thursday by officers from the Royal Newfoundland Constabulary, was charged with two counts of possessing a stolen credit card and five counts of fraud.
