Pa. clerk stole $48K in lottery ticketsReply
Feel free to correct this if I am misunderstanding. The Store buys the tickets from the Lottery. THe lottery gets its money upfront. SO this Theft is not really Lottery related (in so much as the Lottery is making the charges against this person), but rather the store is getting her for theft? So she'll do three months probation and plop one dollar down on a QP for PB and win! Only to have her story told in the form of poor me to rich me saga.... I am not surprised at this type of behavio

Stolen lottery ticket wins suspect a trip to jailReply
At first it does, but it's probably just a petty theft conviction. I wonder if the amount is based on the 400 tickets or the $15 prize? If he had scratched off the other 399 and won a million dollars, would that be grand theft if he attempted to cash it? Something is missing from this story. Where did he get them in the first place? Obviously this young man is needy if he rushed to collect $15. I don't think a long jail sentence for a non-violent crime is necessary.

Should tax payers be paid back after a winReply
The question implies that the taxpayers would see a cent of this returned money. It should never have been taken to begin with. An involuntary fee, tax, or whatever-new-name-it's-given is not assistance, it's theft. It's theft if I steal your grandchild's new bicycle and give it to some kid down the street who N E E D S it more. It's theft if the gov't takes your money in the form of higher property taxes, converts (ahem ... conversion) it into a welfare check, and gives the check to someo

What lottery game?Reply
I don't pay scratch off mainly because I never win, and secondly there seems to be a lot of theft of winnings on scratch off tickets from the store clerks.

Winning lottery ticket purchased with stolen credit cardReply
Gargil; The only thing I can think to say is this, your nuts. If a ticket is stolen, and it is proven, you don't get to keep the winnings. Theft is theft, plain and simple. the women should not have been using her dead mother's card unless she was on file with the credit card company. The credit card company can prosecute her and win big time if she wasn't allowed to use the thing, that is just plain crazy to think otherwise. Unfortunately Possession is nine tenths the law does not apply.
