She deserves to be punished for what she have done. She have cheated the man. Thought its only $50, still what she did is a petty crime...

Always Sign your name on the back of the ticket! Always Make a photocopy of the front and back of your ticket

I always check my own tickets on line so when I turn in a winner I know exactly what I should be getting back. I wouldn't be at all surprised if this happened much more often to quick pickers as compared to self pickers when turning in non scratch winning tickets.

I ask for the receipt as well.

I usually go to my local grocery where everyone is nice, always smiling, fair, don't have to ask for the receipt, they automatically give everyone there receipts but I had to go to the Texaco station up the street from my home because Krogers closed early for New Years Eve. I regretted doing that, nothing but trouble with the Indian guys who own Texaco, not sure why they act like black people are thieves, guess they watch too much tv, I dunno.

Took my ticket... [ More ]

Last time I cashed a $20 scratch they tore the bottom portion off and gave me the tickets. I posted it on the winning scratches thread.

They throw away my terminal printed receipt of winnings 100% of the time if I don't ask for it.

They also rip up the ticket after they paid you...At least that's what I've seen them do at various places across the state

I'm sure it happens a LOT and the clerks just don't get caught. Glad this one was.

This isn't the first time this has happened. Google the stories of Willis Willis Robert Sehested to see how pervasive this is. People need to check their tickets themselves, not hand it over to the quickimart clerk to check for them...

In nc they staple the receipt to the ticket and your winnings come up on the register screen. Played a bunch and so far they all have been honest. Stupid girl really screwed up.

Dumb broad. She is going to cost the tax payer several thousand dollars. The proper punishment would be fine her $12,500.

Dumb people make tax payers life harder and harder

I think any clerk who throws your ticket away without your permission should be arrested. When a clerk checks your ticket they should either give you back your ticket or some money and the printout showing the amount it should pay.

She was taken to the Johnston County jail under $15,000 bond.
