They will in Florida. If you win on a scratch off and owe the state money, they snatch the payout guaranteed.
Only time Florida government is on point, fast and effective, when there collecting money. They find a toll you didn't pay from the 90's and by the time they add in all the late fees, interest and everything, you be lucky if your 600 dollar scratch off win, would even cover the 75-cent toll u defrauded the great state on all those years. Not even joking, they don't miss anything. Heck, you better hope you don't have a library book overdue, when u go to cash out.
