Woman steals ?19,000 worth of scratchcards... and wins ?50
A post office worker in Wales has admitted stealing ?19,000 worth of Lottery scratchcards over 14 months in a bid to brighten up her long days at work.
But despite taking up to 10 scratchcards a day, 50-year-old Ellen Davies? biggest win was a meagre ?50.
Davies? crime was only discovered after the post office received correspondence from lottery company Camelot congratulating it on increasing its scratchcard sales by 90%.
Postmaster Nicholas Evans then studied CCTV footage that showed Davies removing cards without paying for them.
Once arrested, Davies blamed the boredom of working in the shop for her actions, reports Mirror.co.uk.
She later admitted theft and false accounting and was given an eight-month suspended jail sentence.
or are scratchcards just a f?cking rip off & which serves scrotes right?
