Good luck getting the $5G you need for bail.

That reminds me of a story where this woman who was working a 7-11 stole a $2 lottery ticket and won $25k. Later on the store fired her and the winnings were taken because they were stolen. All she had to do was put that $2 into the register...

She should pull a 'dan rather' and say even though the document is fraudlent the information on it is correct.

I love it when idiots don't understand the world around them, yet think themselves really smart for trying something like this.

I guess the notion that if it were that easy everyone would be doing it never crossed her mind.

oh.. wait.

Charged with obtaining property with false pretenses? What property did she obtain? Did they give her the million dollars? Shouldn't it be attempting to obtain property?

A simple $50.00 barcode reader could have saved her a lot of trouble.

Cut the numbers, soak in water, apply it to the ticket you are defacing.
Works best with 0 and 8, but with some creativity you can mangle other numbers to look printed

And she's one of the smarter lottery players.
 
2008-06-04 08:48:32 PM
At least she aimed big. I mean, the charges would have been the same if she would have went for $1,000.

Someone here stole 50k lottery tickets, obviously with the intent to win off of them. They either didn't know about the bar coding or didn't think it would be applied to the tickets they would try to collect on. Of course the newspapers had to mention the bar coding and that when the person tries to collect they will be arrested. However, this may not stop the thief from trying to collect...morons that they are.

She doesn't have a bright future in criminal activity.

Officials said Ryans cut and pasted numbers from non-winning tickets to match the winning number.

Oh, wait, I'm having an idea. Wait, wait, ... I could ... cut numbers out of lotto tickets ... and ... paste them ... onto another ticket!

Why hasn't anyone thought of this before?

lol! What a fu*king retard! That's someone who thinks a million dollars can just fall through the cracks. Sorry, you're going to have to fool more than the clerk at 7-11 to scam that much money.

Did you notice this happened in Buncombe County? Buncombe is where the word for empty or insincere talk comes from, because a nineteenth century Congressman felt obliged to "make a speech for Buncombe," which was included in his district. And while some think bunco, a swindle involving cards or a lottery, is from the Spanish word for bank, I suspect it is -- perhaps also -- related to Buncombe.

Reminds me of the assholes in Eugene who beat a convenience store clerk to death (and another clerk nearly to death). They caught them because they stole lottery tickets and then later cashed them. Dumbasses.
