With all of the latest technology around us these days, you need to be extremely clever to steal. It is just money, you can earn it, you might win it but never ever steal it.

I can only think of two possibilities for dealing with ticklets that are left over when a game ends. One is to destroy them, and the other is to warehouse them until after the latest possible date for claiming the prizes. The latter costs more than destroying them, and risks the possibility that people get them and try to claim the prizes.

It never even dawned on me that they would require shredding. I thought the computer would simply decline them if a person tried to cash them in. As wicked of an act this maybe, she was clever to find this loop hole. Now to find thirty days in the hole..or more

Probably ended games. Many games are ended well before they sell out. Some have 30-40% of tickets unsold at the end date, so they'd need to destroy millions of tickets when those games are pulled.

Why did they need to shred the tickets? Are these expired tickets or valid tickets but have passed their end of sale dates

Just a typical employee who knows what their part of the job is, but doesn't understand how the whole process works.

Tell Chandi Kelly Ramirez, and/or other larcenists, that which is illegal [in any country]?:

1) Stealing lottery tickets which she was accepting payment to destroy, or

2) Attempting to include others in own obstruction of law(s).

Desperate times call for desperate measures.Someone should have told Ramirez that this is absolutely against the Law.

For all those who are contemplating this action...Don't DO IT. I can't stress this strong enough.
