A Florida couple is facing felony charges for faking $1,000,000
lottery win.
Investigators did not have much trouble in covering the scam
either.
This is the $50 lottery ticket that that did not
fool the Escambia County Sheriff's Office,
and now a Walton County couple is charged with trying
to pass it off as a winning $1,000,000 ticket.
If you look closely here,
you can see a tear and the right of the
site at right center of the ticket.
Rather, the Florida Lottery says it's actually two tickets unskillfully
pieced together.
They had an individual that thought that they could they
could crudely take two tickets and put them together and
pretend as if they were $1,000,000 winner.
The police report states that the couple had two entirely
different stories,
too, on how they got that ticket.
They're now facing fraud charges.
