Most casinos will look for some type of identification (perhaps only a players card) when cashing a large ticket.
Casinos are required by the Treasury Dept to make an earnest effort to aggregate cash transactions in complying with the requirement to report any daily sum (cash in & out) in excess of $10k (CTR - currency transaction report)
I don't believe a ticket is encoded with anything more than a serial number and machine number. (Of course, recorded in the accounting system under the number may be a player number, if a card was in the machine at cash out. If not, I expect it would be a straightforward matter to correlate whose card was in the machine at or just prior to cash out.)
