Basic psychology, but a lot of things are going on. Start with the power of suggestion and confidence. Then add confusion and misdirection to focus on words and actions instead of the ticket. This is all compounded by environment. It's loud, fast-paced, hundreds of people approach the windows, and workers are used to only winning tickets coming back. Furthermore, people are more apt to give money to avoid confrontation than argue the point.

You sure the dogs don't want to race? I thought they loved running! Although I never thought they were murdered in inhumane ways, I tought when they retired they became family pets, maybe your right :(
