Congratulations: Store Clerk Runs off With a 1M Lottery Ticket
Posted by Bossip Staff
A Texas store clerk pocketed a customer’s winning lottery ticket, cashed it in and left town quick, fast and in a hurry.
After a customer handed the clerk his ticket and asked if the numbers were called, the clerk said no, pocketed the ticket and cashed it in. Apparently, the customer had no idea he had the winning numbers and trusted the clerk to be honest with him. The clerk got away with about $750,000 after taxes when he took the ticket to a lottery claim center in Austin and then had the money wired to a bank account.
Officers believe the clerk went back to his native country of Nepal. We know that 1 million will go a long way there. If convicted, the man could face up to 20 years in prison.

wow. poor fella
Sooooo.. messed up!
I guess that was just too good to p***** up.
I wonder if the lottery people will make good on the winning ticket for the customer.
WELL DAXN!!!
You got to pay attention when it comes to your lotto numbers. Come on now. People are gunning for extra dough.
Dateline just did a special on this! I check my mom’s numbers online for her now.
She should not have given him her ticket.. Dummy!!
That’s a da*n shame. Wow…
I check my numbers online-don’t trust the store clerks. Didn’t they just bust a so-called Lotto ring recently for this?
That’s why people need to learn how to read and write. Just look at the number yourself
LMAO!! Thats what happens when you dont go online or call the number on the back of the ticket!
-whats up with the pic though??
The Karma that man is about to receive for stealing this ticket is going to be ignant! Surely you will reap what you sow. YIKES!
Damn! They should pay the original winner… SOMEBODY would have to come up off my bread… that’s crazy…
How can they prove that the ticket was the customer’s to begin with? What a shame.
Dumb*****!
That was here in Prairie View, Texas.
Jai Ho!
thats crazy but he was smart as hell just bet not bring his ***** back here. what abot the the real winner what he gone get nothing thats messed up 4 real smdh
Karma,
But homie will live la vida loca in Nepal with that cash.
@Camille…I was thinking the same thing. Unless they have a video of the customer and clerk together. But if that was the case. The customer will get their’s. And for the Clerk — watch it Karma is a MF…SMH!!!
I wonder how long it took the ***** to realize their ticket had won.
*****, they tell you to sign the back of the ticket as soon as you get it. That would have been enough to stop him from cashing it.
Ahh hell no. That’s grounds for a cap in the ***** right there.
That’s why you should sign the back of the ticket.
I SIGN THE BACK PLUS MAKE THEM GIVE IT BACK.
Too Funny!
That happened in Grand Prairie, TX not Prairie View, TX.
I never trusted them store clerks. The clerks sometimes will take the ticket and put it in the trash. At least here in the DMV the new lottery machines tell you if you won or not and you can scan your ticket yourself.
I am so glad they have the automated machines here…I know if I hear “We’re in the Money”…playing…I better be getting my money….
It’s called always “sign your tickets right away people,” even if you don’t think it’s a winner! Whoever signs it is considered the owner. If you sign it, the lottery will take notice if it appears to be tampered with. They can backtrack to the point it was checked as winner focusing on security cameras. Some people never learn. You do not simply hand over your ticket to a minimum wage clerk or anyone for that matter. You can always cross out your signature later if you are sure that it is not a winner to prevent others from trying to copy and forge your name. Better be safe than sorry.
@ Camille
nice name… i don’t meet any people with my name
shame on the customer for being so trusting. its a recession.
THATS MY MONEY RIGHT THERE I DNT PLAY WITH MY CASH….
FIRST OF ALL THE CLERKS ARE AS JUST AS BROKE AS THE PERSON WHO IS CASHING THE TICKET, OR IS EVEN MORE BROKE….
FOR SCRATCH OFF THEY CAN SCAN IT BUT THEY HAVE TO GIVE ME BACK MY TICKET.AND FOR THE LOTTERY I SCAN MY OWN TICKER OR LOOK IT UP ONLINE,SIGN THE BACK OF YOUR TICKETS GUYS…. THEM CLERKS BE CROOKS/THIEVES…
That’s hilarious! I would’ve took the money and bounced too!
i gotta say if i was the clerk i may have done the same thing and go back to my native land where the money would be super long
I cant even blame the clerk…that customer is a dumb *****. Karma never works…that clerk is laughing all the way to Nepal…HA HA HA….SMDH
@GoodKarma4Me
How do you have good karma if karma never works?
actually, if people understood the concept of what “karma” truly means, they’d know that it really means the thief will suffer in the end. That money will come and go or bring him much sufferage. I hate liars n thieves.
HA HA
Dumb *****!!!!
Errbody and they mamma know NOT to leave the ticket with someone even AFTER checking the numbers or having them checked….winner OR loser!
Idiot!
check the scanner homie…that barcode aint there for no reason
Bahahahahahhaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa…..sorry to laugh but, that’s cl*****ic crazy!
You DO NOT even stand NEAR them w/a possible WINNER in your hand, ya’herd me?! Even if the tix was for $20!!
***** holdin the ticket need that michael jackson cream
Thats why when I have them check my ticket.. I ask for it back.. you neva know
@ im just sayin’
LMAo u are going to hell lol
i play the lottery and thats why i never ask the clerks to check my ticket…bc i could see myself doing or at least thinkin about doin some fu*d up shyt like that. i heck my own numbers and the few times ive asked a clerk to do it i always ask for my ticket back
oh sh*t!! LOL
NEVER TRUST ANYONE WITH MONEY!!! you can’t even trust yourself (sometimes)LOL! I’ll have $100 in my wallet and I go to the mall and damn… I look and I’ve already spent it. LOL< LOL, LOL<
A quote from Pigmeat markum ‘AIN’T NOTHING IN A DRUGSTOE WILL KILL YOU QUICKER THAN I WILL ABOUT MY MONEY” enquote
A store clerk tried to do the same thing to me here in Houston also only my ticket was a $10.00 winning ticket…you have to be careful with the lotto…everybody want some change off your $!
he’s somewhere living large in Nepal … lol … damn
He should had put his name on the back of the ticket . I also complete the information on the back of the ticket.
now we have the new machines in nyc where u can see what you won, but i dont agree with this because someone can see your winnings. i say look online for your numbers and that way these scammers cant win.
The store clerk went back to Nepal. Everyone is talking about Karma. Isn’t Nepal on the side of the world where karma is born. Man he may have a terrible time at home. Karma is going to tear a chunk out of him. If his family finds out they may not touch him for fear his bad Karma may rub off on them with that dirty money.He’s got it bad all around. Come back here go to jail. Stay in Nepal and get karma ganked.
@eve. LOL!
Lol you know dude is straight running ***** in Nepal with that kind of scratch. Prolly got a line of hoes 30 deep waiting to give some brain.
Nepal?
***** that ***** is near India, India has one billion no-deodorant wearin’ **********as who look exactly alike, you can kiss that $750,000 goodbye!
If I was the original holder of that ticket, I’d catch a plane to nepal, look up that bank, tell them what happened, hope they dont hate *****s and go lookin’ for my *****. And the first place I’d look is 7/11’s then ho-houses!
love 6am
so funny that is what happens when ur ig
WOW THAT’S SOME FUNNY ***** (@ AINT MAD ATCHA)… MY STOMACH STILL HURTING FROM THAT LAUGH…BUT YEA SHE SILLY YOU DON’T DO NO DUMB ***** LIKE THAT…I WOULDN’T EVEN ASK DUDE NOTHING…. WHO THE ***** IS HE … SHIIIET!
Man id be on my way to nepal lookin for a rich vitiligo havin nagga, then im stompin $750,000 out that azz.
There’s some REAL broke MF in Nepal that will serve up some karma if this fool flaunts his *****…they’ll find him dismembered somewhere, I’m calling it now
never believe anything bossip puts up that doesn’t have a source link at the end…
I’m sorry but har*****ment is a crime
that why I always take my ticket with me and check it later on the computer. Never never leave your ticket with a clerk.
