Shell Clerk Tried to Steal Lottery Prize | Tampa News

A Tampa gas station clerk pulled a fast one by claiming a $1,000 lottery ticket was only worth $5 — but undercover agents caught him red-handed. After he denied knowing about the prize and claimed to have tossed it, authorities found the ticket in his car. The station is now barred from selling lottery tickets, and Hamden faces serious legal trouble for tampering with the integrity of the system. The Florida Lottery is sending a clear message: honesty is non-negotiable — always verify your ticket, and report any suspicious activity.
