A convenience store clerk has been charged with larceny for allegedly snatching a winning $20,000 lottery ticket from a customer's hand and giving her only $100.
The Lottery Commission confirmed that the book of tickets from which Schmitt purchased her ticket had one $20,000 winning ticket. The ticket has not been cashed.
At this point the clerk is insane for not just returning the ticket. He could have come forward and just lost his job. Now, he will very likely go to jail.
