Clerk Accused Of Stealing $1M Lottery Prize

Quote:
AUSTIN, Texas -- A 25-year-old convenience store clerk pocketed a customer's $1 million winning lottery ticket, claimed the prize and skipped town, possibly back to his native Nepal, authorities said.

Pankaj Joshi took 67-year-old Willis Willis' winning Mega Millions megaplier ticket after Willis asked Joshi in May to check whether any of his numbers were winners, investigators said in a search warrant affidavit last month.

Joshi claimed the prize -- about $750,000 after taxes -- at the lottery claim center in Austin, had the money wired to a bank account and disappeared, authorities said.

"Never to this degree have we seen a clerk steal a megaplier winning ticket," assistant district attorney Patty Robertson said Wednesday.

Nick Parveez, Joshi's former manager at Lucky's Food Store in Grand Prairie, near Dallas, called the lottery commission in July to voice his suspicions about Joshi after hearing that his store sold a $1 million winning ticket, according to the affidavit.

Texas Lottery Tells Cheated Winner

Texas Lottery Tells Cheated Winner, “Tough Luck
Quote:
AUSTIN (November 3, 2009)--An attorney for a Texas man who lost out on a $1 million jackpot after a clerk evidently stole his winning ticket says the Texas Lottery Commission still considers the store clerk who allegedly stole the ticket to be the winner.

Willis Willis lost out on the jackpot when the clerk evidently cashed in his winning lottery ticket and disappeared.

Willis' lawyer, Sean E. Brown, says commission attorneys told the Willis, who’s 67 and unemployed, that the clerk is considered the winner because he signed the back of the lottery ticket.

Why in the world would you just hand over a winning lottery ticket to a clerk? I would make damn sure it was to the lottery commission with family and friends as witness.

Bet he files a lawsuit against the clerk (and the store).

The REST of the story:
Quote:
Authorities are still trying to find the former clerk, who is charged with claiming a lottery prize by fraud.
Authorities believe Pankaj Joshi, who’s now indicted on a charge of claiming a lottery prize by fraud, fled to Nepal after about $750,000 was transferred to him.
About half of the money has been recovered from U.S. banks.
Prosecutor Patricia Robertson said money is being held.
Some of it will eventually be returned to Willis, she said.
