Woman Gets Winning Lotto Ticket Snatched Out Of Hand
Word to the wise: if you win $500 on a scratch-off lottery ticket at a convenience store, don't tell every on in the place. (Watch the video clip below.) Here's more from NBC6:Patsey Jean Harris bought lottery tickets at the convenience store across the street from her work in Holiday. On her third ticket, she won $500.
Everyone in the store was watching, she said, including three women standing behind her. One woman in a white shirt asked her what kind of ticket she bought, and then she grabbed Harris' ticket and took off running.
"I'm trying to pull it actually back in the store and she kept pulling me more and more out," Harris said.
They went to the parking lot, struggling over the ticket. A girl in a red shirt began hitting Harris, she said.
"She's on my back, she's punching me and you can see scratches and stuff," Harris said.
Harris said she held on tight to the ticket, pulling off one girl's shirt. Eventually, the women made off with the ticket.
Two of the three women, Whitney Flukes and Jessica Syme, are in jail, but Harris' winnings were never returned.Labels: lottery ticket, stolen
