This isn’t the first such incident.

Talk about winning The Coveted Golden Dumb-Ass Award.
A pack...of Newports.

Whenever I cash in stolen lottery tickets, I always wear my Groucho Marx glasses as a disguise. Fools them every time. Dumb ol’ Florida man couldn’t even take that simple precaution.

Well, the tickets aren’t worth much unless they’re redeemed.

I thought you had to PAY for the ticket for it to be worth anything.

Lottery tickets each have a unique bar code....once they were stole I’m sure the store reported it and as Red Badger stated in post 3 theyvwere canceled, thereby rendering them unredeamable.

I’m sure the lottery foresaw this scenario happening long ago, and also as Red Badger states, this isn’t the first time.

Justin Farley, 43, pulled into a St. Petersburg Circle K on May 5, and “opened multiple cabinets and took scratch-off lottery tickets.” Roughly 40 minutes later, Farley arrived at an area 7-Eleven to redeem the $7,000 worth of scratch-offs, according to the document filed in the United States District Court for the Middle District of Florida.

On a side note I wonder how much the $7K in scratch off yielded.
