Where's my money?
Have you ever seen your parents buy the lottery ticket? Getting their hopes up for something that might not happen. Maybe your parents have the chance of winning but its the clerk that's getting the money. Some of the clerks have been stealing winning lottery tickets in San Jose. The investigation started in a bowling alley where an undercover investigator presented what should have been a 1,000 dollar winning ticket. The clerk, Nick Garcia told the investigator that the none of the lottery tickets where winners, when in fact one was a winner. Two days later a woman, Monique Duran mailed in a claim for the 1,000 dollars. Nick Garcia confessed about the winning ticket. He was charged with attempted grand theft and purgery. He was sentenced 45 days in jail, 3 years probation and fines. It just comes to show that honest people change for money. I personally don't believe this should happen because stealing is wrong. Do you agree with this?

I'm glad he got caught. I mean it sucks for him but still thats pretty wrong of him. He should make his own money instead of stel it :P
ReplyDeleteI totally agree that stealing is wrong. Nick Garcia was wrong for doing that to those lucky lottery ticket winners. I mean, my mom buys lottery tickets all the time, and she'd probably hate to find out that someone was stealing all that money from her.
ReplyDeleteI've actually always thought about these types people. Thats terrible, though. I mean isn't it enough that your chances of winning are like one in two million? That guy deserved it.
ReplyDeleteAlways blaming it on the Mexicans. Nick Garcia, you give us a bad name.
