We suspect it was the girlfriend's husband that stole it. He was a major coke head and everyone was just starting to find out how bad he was. The following Monday he disappeared for two weeks. But not before emptying their bank accounts and stealing her jewelry. He was later arrested in Hollywood for prostitution. She filed for divorce as soon as she discovered the accounts were empty. Anyway, we figured he stole the ticket and used it to pay off a debt. Who knows what really happened with it?sussle said:nuts....no chance of tracking down the thief by whomever claimed the prize?SrPato said:Don't you fricken dare tell us you won. :cussing:
My parents threw a 25th birthday party for my wife and I. A girlfriend gave us a strip of scratchers. We won a trip to the Big Spin. Needless to say, we were beyond stoked. Foolishly, I put the winning ticket under the passenger seat of my car instead of in my parent's house. Or even my pocket for that matter. That night, my car was ransacked and the ticket stolen. To this day I still wonder how that win might have changed our lives.
my neighbor left a $50 winning scratch-off ticket on his car...somebody rifled his car and stole the ticket. the local police were like "oh, well", so he went to every convenience store in town (there's only about 5 or 6 on the island). sure enough, found the one where someone had just cashed a $50 scratcher and since the transaction was on video, he had only to call the fuzz and point them to the thief. i doubt he got the $50 back but he had the satisfaction of nailing the thief.
