I was given nothing for me to keep, and prove after the fact how I voted (or even that I did), other than an "I voted" sticker. The paper receipt for my ballot was kept with the machine on which I voted, using an electronic card, and the card (which I believe uses an RFD chip that could be erased with a powerful-enough EM signal) went into a cardboard box. I see this as a very non-verifiable system that desperately needs updating.
I agree with you about verfiable and such.

Gee all I got was a paper with a number on it you got a sticker.
