The good news is his Indiana "Pick Four" lottery ticket is a winner, worth $2,260. The bad news is that the ticket was in his pocket when he was arrested for allegedly dealing cocaine. Sgt. John Jelks of the Gary Narcotics-Vice Unit said his detectives are consulting with prosecutors and the city's forfeiture lawyer to determine if the police department can seize the prize. Chambers, 20, of 2010 W. 12th Ave., was arrested after detectives completed their fourth buy from Anthony Williams, 41. Investigators followed Williams as he went to obtain the cocaine from Chambers then arrested them both, Jelks said. Both face charges of dealing cocaine. Chambers is out on bond on a dealing charge filed in April. Post-Tribune We'd love to see your comments here!

They'd have let him keep it, if it were a bill for $2,260. Big criminals going after the little ones. In neo-conned Amerika, bank robs you.

Can you imagine if it was a $200,000,000.00 winning Lotto ticket! I agree with you, once convicted of a crime he should serve his time and pay a fine. But the Lottery ticket should be his to keep. | | |

Chambers is out on bond on a dealing charge filed in April. Nice Try, but I don't think this one will fly. I am sure they had a seach warrant for the drugs & everything else that pertains to drugs. If he sold drugs from his car, they can take the car. If he sold drugs from his house, they can take the house. If they find a large stach of cash that cannot be explained, they can take the cash. They have to prove that he bought the ticket with drug money, and I don't think this one will hold up in court. Good Try Won't Fly. This is what I think. | | |

Lottery tickets are "bearer" instruments, when he was arrested it was found on "his" person, "bearer" owns the ticket. | | |
