And the wheel goes round... She lost bigger than she thought she would have won! Out of work, criminal record, a debt to pay and no benefit of the small wins she would have collected had she gotten away with it. There's dumb and then there's....! | | |

..mental health treatment?? That's rich. I guess she tried to get away with the addiction excuse instead of just owning up to
thinking she could take the tickets and actually get away with it and maybe get rich on the side too.  815 315 343 313 597 895 209 711 173 175 | | |

Maybe Kimberley in her grand scheme, planned on paying back the missing lottery tickets from some of the big winning tickets.  Then again maybe the moon is made of cheese. | | |

I believe that Ms. Bates was so determined to win a lottery jackpot and that made her steal the lottery tickets. Poor Bates, she was caught and will be punished for what she've done. | | |

Hum, mcginnin56, I like to eat cheese. I don't think that cheese likes me back though.  Having millions of dollars in my financial accounts means more, consistent fun for me.
