Did they think they wouldn't get caught?

First off, $140,000 worth of tickets???? The owner didn't realize after he was short the first $100????

There's a little number on the bottom of each scratcher that tells how many tickets are remaining in each book. It's very easy to do an inventory on them and most stores do one at each shift change.

In the story, it states.... She (Jacques) said she would buy pills from Cushman and a man named Ray, in exchange for winning lottery tickets

It is possible to balance the books on a store's scratch-off tickets every day. Do an inventory and then take how many ticket$ yesterday minus how many ticket$ now plus how much in new ticket pack$ was added today for sale, and compare that (sale$ according to ticket inventory) to sale$ according to the cash register. If the cash register says we sold $5,000 of tickets today but the inventory indicates that we sold $5,100, then $100 worth of tickets is missing.

Some stores do this for cigaret... [ More ]

At least the one on the right with that jaw/chin, has a job as a cement breaker to fall back on when she gets out of jail.

I agree. Doesn't the store get a monthly or quarterly sales statement from the Wisconsin Lottery? If a pack of $30 scratch-offs has 100 tickets per pack and the pack has to be 'scanned active' before they can sell them, how can the owner not see the missing tickets the very first month (quarter, or whatever)?

XYZ12345 pack of $30 scratch-offs numbered 001-100 were scanned into play and put out for sale. Next month the statement shows only 95 of those tickets sold, but another pack was scanne... [ More ]

Welcome to the world of say no to drugs. Drugs will do some crazy stuff to you. Hope they get some rehab.

I wonder why it took 3 years for the employer to find out that the tickets were being stolen.

Based on the other posts on this thread, I would think that, based on the woman on the lefts facial features would probably look pretty good about 10 years ago or now without drug addiction? And a new hair cut too.

Watch what you do people, it is a dangerous world out there. Think first before you react.

I am sure that this happens more often that thought in a lot of stores in other states as well.

It's an easy thing to do for the employee . Temptation is there . Particularly if you know when you get the high rollers buying many big money scratch offs and losing on the big tickets. Hoping on that $100 or maybe a $500 or better would be worth a try? But...

It's a crime and a shame. Hope they are able to re-coop

Three Oshkosh, Wisconsin, women each face a felony theft charge after authorities say they collectively stole more than $140,000 in lottery tickets from their employer during the course of three years.

Sheila A. Coates, 32, Nicole A. Cushman, 30, and Christina A. Jacques, 35, all appeared Monday in Winnebago County Circuit Court, where Commissioner Bryan Keberlein set $1,000 signature bonds and scheduled preliminary hearings for each defendant.

According to the criminal complaint, the owne... [ More ]
