Police arrest lottery ticket thief
Texas Lottery: Police arrest lottery ticket thief
A routine audit of lottery tickets conducted by the Texas Lottery Commission showed that more than $37,000 in scratch-off tickets were missing from a Flower Mound convenience store. The tickets were missing from a Diamond Shamrock station in the 220 block of Long Prairie Road. Police later arrested a store employee, Joanna Diaz, on charges of theft.

Routine audit by the lottery? You'd think the stores would watch those things closer and realize that many missing!

Someone wasn't taught the proper bookkeeping to run a lotto store.

it was the same with the plcae i used to work at. at the end of every night, my boss would have me write down the instant ticket numbers, and then he would take a look at the sales reports for the day, and then he would count the drawer for the night.
NEW DOMAIN NAME for my website. Go to www.dr-ew.com. There's still some funny stuff there, and I paid good money for the domain name.

Too many Ma & Pa stores selling tickets have to hire outside of family. These stores depend on honest family members working cheap and non-family members aren't cheap or honest. They usually go out of business without family support. * What happens most *
* will most likely happen again *

They usually go out of business without family support. That's mom & pop. Ma & Pa are two states with questionable online games.
