I recall a story where a lady stole 2 million from her company to play scratches. I wonder how much jail time she got. Does anyone know? I'm too lazy to do a search.

the person who steals should be punnished but 20 yr. for lottery tickets is abuse of the system;

20yr, is 15 yr. too much 1 year would hve been about right for a habitual criminal. I hate our justice systerm over kill way too often

Hi,

20 years in prison for stealing some lottery cash, do you guy think the penalty is too strict with him ? I think it is!

Someone drinks alcohol get just couple months in the jail, since it possibly can drive to killing and burning people

It might be the habitual part of his description that got him.

Seems this wasn't his first offense......

I agree. I have seen murderers get off with less. Honestly. Poor guy.

Lotto dream has turned into a nightmare for this man.

The woman in the other story gets only 30 days.

20 years is kinda harsh.

It probably wasn't the prize he was hoping for.

Instead of a large cash payout, a Holyoke, Massachusetts, man was sentenced to 20 years in prison after admitting he stole more than $1,600 worth of lottery scratch tickets from convenience stores.
