I want to see what sentences Kinslieh and Patel get. Jones was the patsy they sent to cash the tickets they bought from winners.

I don t like going to busy gas station for that reason. Most of the workers get upset when they have to run tickets. I rather go to Patel gas station where they know how to enter the numbers manually without the slips.

Florida man claims $15.5M Lotto jackpotReply
One Patel is collecting his money, while the other is still in limbo. Kudo's to Florida for having a better playout for stores that sell the winning ticket. I mean, Florida pays out $100K on a $15mil jackpot, while SC pays out $50K on a $1.5 Bil jackpot? Where is the justice in that?

4th clerk arrested in Florida Lottery stingReply
You're really missing the point. It's a fact many of the news stories about lottery scams mention a member of the Patel clan so it's hardly racism when someone comments on it. When Millions said Another Patel arrested? Lot of minorities involved in those frauds for some reason. you said It's a family tradition and something about a fictional pirate. I don't know if someone living in Norway knows that many convenient stores in the U.S. are owned and/or operated by minorities , but someone l

Police track down burglary suspects by tracing stolen lottery ticketsReply
that would work if the tickets serial numbers were known by the original purchaser. who buys lottery tickets and writes down the serial numbers. no one does. even if this wild scenario happened, how would the cops be there within minutes of it being scanned. someone would have to call them (a patel) by then they would be gone.
