I was always under the impression, that anything delivered to you, that wasn't ordered by you, was your's

If a company sends you something you didn't order they can't ask for it to be returned and you can keep it if you want to. When your neighbor orders something and the addressed to your neighbor is accidentally delivered to you it belongs to your neighbor. If you don't deliver it to the neighbor or return it to the shipper or the company it becomes stolen property.

I don't always look at a label before opening packages especially if I have ordered something. So this could have been just been an honest mistake. If that was me I would have called the lottery office and asked them how they would like it handled since they were the shipper.

Why the long face and dour look in that still picture of her holding two tickets. Big deal. A wrong package got delivered to her work. The correct address was on it. No reason to open it actually in the first place.

I would think the lottery office would know that they did not send that pack to that particular store.

Store owner would be in big trouble. License to sell lottery tickets would be revoked. Maybe cops get involved.

Take the box to your friend Luigi, who owns a convenience store, activate them, and split the profits with Luigi.

Unless activating them counts as a debit on the convenience store account with the lotto, in which case, Luigi will say am-scam .

If she was doing the right thing: She would have contacted FedEx and reported the error instead of opening the package that wasn't addressed to her place of business

Massachusetts woman accidentally receives $100 dollar bills worth a total of $20,000 in the mail

Now that right there would have been the real temptation.

But as it is, those tickets are just as good as hoarding snow in winter

She did the right thing. Good job and get your ticket, you never know.

* l was wrong, before reading the piece, l thought that Danielle with that grinch face was apprehended by the authorities for stealing tickets. The cops getting her to hold up the merchandise for a pic would have been one for the ages. Accept my apology Danielle.

point of article not activated not worth the paper they're printed on. She did the right thing.

Watching folks load the self service lotto machine noticed they don't activate the pack(s); perhaps the machine does when purchased. Just like buying them from the clerk here, they activate them POS.

What would you do?

Includes video report

By Kate Northrop

A Massachusetts woman was dumbfounded when she opened a misdelivered box that contained $20,000 worth of unscratched Massachusetts Lottery tickets from FedEx.

Danielle Alexandrov was utterly baffled when a FedEx delivery of $20,000 worth of lottery tickets showed up at her door.
