Two former Deltona, Florida convenience store clerks face charges they stole more than $134,000 in lottery tickets and winnings while working the register at a Hess station.

Cynthia Galliher, 48, was charged with organized fraud and Amanda Peterson, 17, faces one count each of scheme to defraud and grand theft.

Investigators say the two would steal scratch-off lottery tickets while working at the Doyle Road store.

Galliher of Cocoa is serving 22 years probation for a fraud and embezzlement case in that city.

Galliher was arrested Wednesday in Brevard County and was released from jail on $10,000 bail.

Peterson, also of Cocoa, turned herself in Wednesday and was booked into the Volusia Regional Detention Center in Daytona Beach. More charges may be pending, investigators said.

Why morons steal instants that can easily be coded to say dont pay on the machines once they ar stolen is beyond me.  Dont these morons think things through?  The only way to get away with it is to do it once, and if you do pull a big winner be prepared to have the cash on hand to pay for the tickets you did steal.

Hiring someone that is serving 22 years probation for fraud and embezzlement to be a store clerk is like getting a hungry fox to the guard a hen house.
