Kira Enders and her boyfriend Dakota Jones allegedly attempted to trick lottery officials into giving them a $1 million prize with two torn scratch-off tickets spliced together to form a winning ticket, according to authorities.
The two tickets were ripped horizontally with the top half of one ticket and the bottom half of the other then “carefully pieced together” to show the $1 million prize winner, according to a police report cited by the Pensacola News Journal.

“I don’t think this is gonna be a made-for-TV movie type of situation because, uh, it was clear to the lottery officials — and obviously clear to us — that she had taken two tickets with different, you know, one side had one serial number, the other side had the other serial number on it,” Escambia County Sheriff Chip Simmons said.
We aren’t gonna make it, are we?
A FLORIDA COUPLE…………….!
They were creative, just not very smart, surely they won’t see the two different serial numbers on the ticket.
Hello, morons....
The winning tickets have a bar code and other code numbers that are registered in a database.
No other combination would check out as legitimate.
Stupid.......
Biden Democrats, no doubt.....who else could be that stupid?
Dunno
Somebody tried the same thing years ago
It was in the USA but I don’t remember which state
They could replace all of the numbers and the barcode too
It STILL wouldn’t check out as a winning ticket against the database
I just can’t believe people think they could fool the system so easily
I used to program bar code scanners for product and also shipping (different jobs)
The product bar codes were set against the database - they were even rejected at the scan gun itself if the product bar code was improperly scanned
THEN it was further analyzed by check digit math and the barcode split up if it had a supplemental bar code combined with a generic bar code (this was in the software)
IF it got past all of that, THEN it was checked against the database
Dakota? Well, appropriately named Dakota and girlfriend are not very bright. But ambitious. You gotta give ‘em that.
This is just lame. What a pair of morons, crudely fashioning a fake ticket out of two torn ones. And I bet a pre-schooler could have done a better job of patching the two together.
From the looks of them, they need to be checked for drug use.
So you are saying the name “Dakota” suggests someone is not very bright?
Actually, I like that. The more people that think that the more people with low IQ’s will stay away from ND & SD.
Presumably his parents gave him that name. And IQ is genetic. I rest my case.
But I’m still trying to parse your last sentence. Need a higher IQ to interpret it obviously.
I just got it. It now makes sense to me. I looked at your About page and see you are from the Dakotas. And a longtime Freeper. And obviously endowed with a generous IQ.
Actually North Dakota itself had quite a stigma for many many decades. Somewhere in the 60’s or 70’s a major map maker left ND out of it’s USA Atlas. The east coast lefties also wanted to make much of the high plains a “buffalo commons” where just animals lived.
Many people up here took offense to that. I never did. People that think like the map makers and east coast lefties (along with Kalifornians) will keep out of our state. We have a very low crime rate and very few illegals. The few illegals we do have are hard working Mexicans, not the trash Biden is currently bringing in. It’s just too cold for them.
Enjoy your day!
Looks like meth with her
Isn’t it sad when cousins marry?......................
Lock them up! Lock them up! They stole my idea. Which means they’ll be looking very closely at any stitched together ticket I fake. Which means I won’t get away with it. Lock them up I say. They ruined it for the rest of us.
Classic meth faces
A special kind of stupid.
