Indictment is just when the prosecutors file the charges against the person. Arraignment is when the person goes in front of the judge to either enter his or her plea of guilty, not guilty, no contest or to confirm the plea deal arranged between the prosecutors and defense.

Ok does the place have security cameras. Lottery system should have the time recorded of when ticket was sold just look at which person was at the counter at that time. Not to mentioned as printed on the tickets sign them when you buy them. Without a signature they are considered property of who ever has them in hand.

Reply to comment by webby37 in ELI5: What is the difference between an arraignment and an indictment? by webby37
Indictment is more the formal process of filing charges. When the prosecutors believe they have sufficient evidence to support them in court. They can enlist a grand jury to decide if there is enough evidence to warrant it before hand, but all the grand jury looks for is if they believe there is enough evidence to go to trial, usually used in what expected to be high profile cases not always used.
Arraignment is the formal procedure for the defendant to enter his plea with the judge.
