    Not very bright, the tickets have barcodes that need to be scanned to validate whether the ticket is a winner. No chance this would ever work even if the ticket didn’t look like shit.

      If you read their statements in the article, ‘not very bright’ would be an understatement.

    Sometimes I wonder how people got to the point in their lives where they decided they would do something like this and genuinely think it will work. We are talking about the bare minimum level of intelligence here and that isn’t even happening.

    They look like they fight a lot, are addicted to something and have had a broken car in their front yard for the past 3 years

      That’s my dad’s shootin’ car. Just three more payments and it’s all ours.

        In Florida, a yard is a small patch of sand with fire ants in the middle and a palm tree off to the side, so they aren’t too pricey.

    The only question I want to know : was the barcode a winning barcode?

    I don’t care what the authorities allege. Sorry I don’t. If the barcode is a winning barcode, then I want to see what the ticket looks like. That will tell me who is lying. Sadly the story doesn’t say if the barcode was real or not.

    If the ticket was tore fully in half it automatically fails the security test. It’s automatically a bad ticket.
