Several Lotto retailers have been arrested in Fresno, California after a series of police raids in the area. Lottery officials organised the raids on several mini marts in the area after undercover investigators found that the suspects cheated customers by lying about winning tickets.

A few months ago officers posing as customers tested the mini marts on their honesty and more than a dozen store owners failed by claiming tickets were not winning ones when they were. The retailers told the would-be customers that the tickets were worthless then in fact they kept the winnings – some as much as $1,000 – for themselves.

Often players are in a hurry or have trouble checking their own numbers and in these instances they are trusting the lottery retailer to tell the truth but unfortunately some are not playing by the rules.
Many lottery players when asked stated that they had actually stopped playing at the store as it was unlucky for them, and now those players must be wondering if in fact the store was luckier than they thought and if in fact they won amounts that they are not aware of.

The store owners and clerks are now facing serious criminal charges and it’s reassuring for us lottery players to know what this sort of crime will not be tolerated and now our lottery results and tickets should be in safe hands again.
