COUPLE BOUGHT MILLION DOLLAR LOTTERY TICKET WITH STOLEN MONEY

A Pottsville, Pennsylvania, couple who stole more than $175,000 from a grocery store where they worked used that money to buy a winning $1 million lottery ticket from the same store. Joan Lechleitner, 51, and her fiance, Kerry Titus, 54, were charged Tuesday along with two other former employees with stealing from the Agway store. Hidden cameras showed the four would ring up bogus sales and pocket the money. Some of the stolen money was used to buy lottery tickets, including one worth more than $1 million last September. The store’s owner told police he had to borrow money to keep the store afloat because of the thefts.
* At least the couple now has money for a good lawyer.
* I guess they can’t just repay the money? That would be too easy.
* Repay the money and give him half the $1 million? Do we REALLY have to make lawyers rich as part of this?
* So much for the universe being an inherently good place.
* If the store owner needs more money maybe they can float him a loan.
* Wow, 4 cashiers all ripping you off? I could see how that would be a problem.
* They didn’t think the cashier station was being covered by cameras ’cause, seriously, when does that happen?
* Let’s look on the positive side: At least the employees worked as a team.
* It was like shoplifting, but without the middleman.
* That wasn’t a grocery store. That was an ATM machine.
