This is a wild story out of Murfreesboro and the bad guy almost got away with it.. if it weren’t for those pesky lottery officials!
A million dollar lottery ticket was stolen in Murfreesboro after the clerk tried to claim it for himself! So essentially what happened is a guy bought 2 lottery tickets and instead of scratching the whole card, he just scratched the barcode so it could be scanned.. that’s just a quicker way to find out if you’re a winner so you don’t have to waste time scratching if you don’t want to.
Well the clerk saw that one of the cards was a big winner and ended up telling the guy that he won like 40 bucks, but then the clerk took the card and tried to turn it in for himself! Luckily the lottery people check up on these big winning tickets because they were able to see the surveillance footage to find out what actually happened. All is well in the world today.. that clerk was arrested and the guy who originally purchased the ticket has been found!
It sounds like a movie that I need Lifetime to make! Read more about it HERE
