00:00I don't know about you guys so I've always had this before they got those little scanners

00:21right sorry no in oh loser and there's a lot of places still like that they'll still do that for

00:26you if they don't have the little scanner yep I would never trust it I would never trust you want

00:32to see I want to see I mean I guess I should take the time myself and look at every ticket and look

00:37at every number to see if I actually won yeah right I've got the app yeah I was gonna say the app right

00:42I got the app that changed everything yeah if you have the app then you're different but this is one

00:48of those situations a guy has a million dollar winning lottery ticket you'd think that the thing

00:56would make some noise like like a telltale like a slot machine or something you know but then it's

01:01like and the guy's like oh no that's just a loser noise it does that every time oh you lost a lot

01:10but it literally said winner winner yeah yeah you know like give me some kind of heads up there is

01:17a clerk at a store in tennessee who is accused of stealing a million dollar lottery ticket wow

01:24here's the story of how he did it now from nbc news

01:28it was here at the shell off greenland drive an antioch dad bought two lottery tickets that's what

01:36this victim did he had just scratched off the barcode and handed it back into the clerk lieutenant

01:41steve craig says the clerk meet patel scanned the two the dad thought he only won forty dollars off

01:47one and nothing from the other but turns out that one had one million dollars the clerk patel would

01:54later be seen celebrating after scratching off that ticket by his employees who questioned him

01:59he was brought to the tennessee lottery his answer question session with the lottery commission

02:06didn't go very well raise some red flags with them investigators with the lottery say there

02:10is video of patel throwing the dad's million dollar lottery ticket in the trash he then takes it out of

02:15the garbage later and puts it in his pocket before scratching it off that ticket remember belonged to

02:22the dad i couldn't believe that there was a million dollar ticket winner out there that didn't know he'd

02:28won and i was i was kind of excited to help make somebody's day to be honest craig says his team called

02:33the dad and told him to go to the lottery while he was skeptical and thought it was a scam craig told him

02:39he will like the news a million dollars is life-changing money so hopefully he can use that and

02:45better his life and some people around his life as for others who want to try their luck on the lottery

02:50craig says this should be a lesson make sure you scratch off the entire ticket so you can know exactly

02:56if you're due money or not and how much you're due if you've won patel is now in a rutherford county jail

03:02being held on a 100 000 bond he has a hearing next week in murfreesboro marissa sulik wsmv4

03:10so how did they catch him the video the video so they went in and just watched the video randomly

03:17or someone at the store was like there's something wrong with that well he claimed that guy claimed

03:22he's like hey i just bought this ticket i scratched it is tough to be like you're the clerk

03:27i mean i think any single time a clerk is like i randomly bought a lottery ticket they're like

03:33well we're gonna randomly check that we're gonna randomly watch you that whole day that's hilarious

03:39the lottery has their own series of questions it was that guy they were questioning i don't think you

03:45did not win yeah but i wouldn't trust it either no clerk no i wouldn't yeah that's the problem

03:52because the temptation of just taking like that's a million dollars waving in front of your face

03:57right yeah that's crazy people have done much worse for like 50 bucks never mind a million dollars

04:02yep i wish there was a video of him celebrating i know me too i looked for it this morning i could

04:07not find it yeah because it's suri creek for sure oh yeah probably got those little hand symbols

04:16out busted them out the hand symbols not all indians use hand symbols i would if i won a million

04:23i might do it as a non-indian if i won a million so the guy purchased two winning diamond and gold

04:34scratch-up tickets from a shell station handed them over to the clerk to check he paid him forty

04:40dollars on one ticket was like oh the other one did the other one lost and threw it in the garbage

04:43but really it was a million dollar winner he must have been so just stone-faced he'd been waiting

04:51for that moment i guess it seems like because that's the only way you could be right because

04:55you see that mid probably says it probably doesn't even let them know it's just like please go to

05:01lottery headquarters or whatever it probably it probably doesn't even tell them and that's why

05:06he scratched it off and realized holy crap yeah it's a million he might have thought oh maybe it's

05:13a thousand whatever the price is that you have to go to lottery headquarters like they're not going to

05:18be able to pay you there i can't imagine the machine says one million dollars like because then

05:25everyone's trying to kill you winner right winner it just says winner but he had one winning ticket so

05:30it did say winner so i would have said oh that's just for that yeah but yeah yeah and that one was

05:36able to be paid off just right from the register so they don't like like new rich people happening so

05:41they're gonna ask you some questions look into it yeah they do they look into it yeah apparently they

05:48look into every single winner wow they review tape from when that was purchased every single time

05:54someone wins this guy had no idea they did that yeah they got that on lockdown that's like one of

05:59the stupidest things you could do as like a gas station employees like try to mess with the lottery

06:03i guess you just the problem is you don't realize just how locked down it is look at the bail they

06:09said 100 grand oh my god like you tried to get rich didn't you yeah we don't like when people get
