The state of CALIFORNIA did an investigation into lottery-store clerks, and their family-members because they were cashing-in BIG!
DATELINE-CHRIS HANSEN reports this Sunday
The fraud discovered was MASSIVE & widespread in California, leading investigators to guess that this most-likely goes-on in EVERY state.
Myself & another person actually CAUGHT a clerk in NJ doing this. But in a different way than what was shown this morning in the preview for Sunday night's expose'.
What we observed was a rip-off involving the "instant winner" option, where we noticed clerks were not handing us the tickets, but offering to cash or discard them. (on the Pick 3 & 4).
HANSEN laments the fact that CALIFORNIA is the only state, (so far) that bothered to investigate considering what appears to be common practice.
