I received a similar check. I contacted the bank (Comerica bank in Santa Cruz, California) and spoke with a representative. I was told that they have received several phone calls on this lottery check that day. Turns out that the account is red-flagged as fraudulent. I would not take a chance and deposit the check into any account, nor try to get it cashed. Hypothetically speaking, if you deposit the check and should it clear (doubt it, but still), the canceled check will be sent back to the owner of the account and I believe your account information is encoded on the back, leaving your account wide open. Please, be careful.
