Eastern Time (GMT-5:00) | N.C. store clerk charged in lottery scam North Carolina Lottery: N.C. store clerk charged in lottery scam51 Rating:CLAYTON, N.C. — Police arrested a convenience store clerk Thursday after she allegedly told a customer his ticket wasn't a winner, then cashed the $50 winning ticket after the man left the store. Kathleen Patricia McClusky, 19, of Clayton, was charged with obtaining property by false pretenses. She was working as a clerk at the Kangaroo Station on U.S. 70 in Clayton. She was taken to the Johnston County jail under $15,000 bond. The incident occurred Dec. 23 when Luis Flores-Bautista of Clayton gave McClusky two tickets. Police say McClusky told Flores-Bautista the first ticket was a winner and gave him $17. She told him the second ticket wasn't a winner and threw the ticket in trash. After Flores-Bautista left the store, a friend suggested he retrieve the ticket. He took the ticket to another store where the clerk said the $50 winnings had already been claimed. Clayton police worked with the store manager and the N.C. Lottery Commission, then charged McClusky with claiming the winnings. Thanks to Original Bey for the tip.

I think any clerk who throws your ticket away without your permission should be arrested. When a clerk checks your ticket they should either give you back your ticket or some money and the printout showing the amount it should pay. * The fundamentals of winning a lottery jackpot *
* play a lottery you can win *

Dumb broad. She is going to cost the tax payer several thousand dollars. The proper punishment would be fine her $12,500. Dumb people make tax payers life harder and harder  | | |

In nc they staple the receipt to the ticket and your winnings come up on the register screen. Played a bunch and so far they all have been honest. Stupid girl really screwed up.  and make your last check bounce.

She probably bragged to freinds that she could spot stupid ppl. jokes on her, looks like she was practicing by looking in the mirror.

This isn't the first time this has happened. Google the stories of Willis Willis & Robert Sehested to see how pervasive this is. People need to check their tickets themselves, not hand it over to the quickimart clerk to check for them... | | |
