Yeah maybe, but aren't the tickets bearer instruments? Since she didn't sign the ticket anyone could cash it. But the dumb ass was filmed swiping the purse. Maybe he should have swapped out the winning ticket with a losing ticket, and turn the purse over with the cash, and apologize

The tickets are numbered sequentially (#1, #2, #3 . . .) She must have known her ticket #.

Her purse contained $1100 cash plus a ticket worth $125,000. He had her purse which means he had her address. He could have at least dropped off about 60 or 70 thousand at her house once he cashed in the ticket. Don't leave the poor woman with nothing. But no......he had to go buy a house. I hope he enjoys his years in prison.
