Grand Prairie store clerk accused of stealing $1 million lottery ticket from customer07:57 AM CDT on Wednesday, October 21, 2009From WFAA-TVAuthorities are looking for a Grand Prairie convenience store clerk who is accused of stealing a winning lottery ticket worth $1 million from a customer.Pankaj Joshi is accused of lying to a 67-year-old customer and telling him that he won $2. Joshi is accused of then taking the winning ticket and cashing it in at lottery headquarters in Austin.According to an indictment from Travis County, the customer, who apparently plays the same numbers all the time, had a winning Megaplier million dollar ticket. The clerk, who worked at the Lucky Food Store at 902 S. Great Southwest Parkway, told the customer it was worth $2.After taking the cash option, Joshi transferred $750,000 to several different bank accounts. He then told his co-workers he had to help his cousin run a perfume store in Nepal.Fellow employees sensed something was wrong because Joshi never played the lottery. They reported him to the lottery commission.Lottery officials have recovered more than $200,000 from Joshi's bank accounts. U.S. Marshals are working with authorities abroad to locate him.It was unclear whether the original winner will ever receive the $1 million prize.Source & Comments: http://www.dallasnews.com/shar...

The chances of the US government arresting him is very slim, he could be anywhere. If nothing else, if you have the right conscious and want to do the right thing, you can always contact your local Maoist/YCL leader. Let them kidnap and extort his family, we'll see how he feel about that. Maybe the rumor has already spread in Nepal, they might have already done it. Who knows what happens in Nepal these days.He will come out of the hiding, only that way, just like in a Hindi movie scene....he'll be doing the slow motion running towards his mother saying "Maaaaaaa" .

ved55, r u stupid, or do u think all the people in sajha are stupid??? it must be one or the other. come on yaar..if you wanna defend pankaj dont come up with all those bullshit arguement..how can you relate obama getting nobel with pankaj frauding the state. duhh..grow up.. If a man cannot protect his lotto ticket.. then he should stop playing..meaning if u can't cook u are not supposed eat?? if you cant drive u can take a ride..is that what it is?? how can a man protect against fraud...like the news says he's been going to that store for years..he still buys ticket there..that means customer loyalty. Why the hell you can't check the numbers on TV or paper or website.. why the hell you want to go to lotto centre to figure out all the time? ---> thats non of your f**king business...can someone force you not write this thread on computer rather write it in paper and mail it to sajha's mail address. duhh..grow up Punkaj... if you have fled to Nepal or India or wherever... no one can bring you back to USA and tried...that means you dont know nth about it..so u better shut ur shit hole mouth. If Obama can get Nobel Prize for doing NOTHING.. which should have actually be given to someone else.. he simply stole it... he could have rejected it.. nope.. free prize.. why not.. he simply stole it... Where is the US Marshalls>?????...no comment on this...prooves u r such an asshole..find out difference on stealing and accepting.. i m not telling what pankaj did was wrong or rite?? its up to him and the state of texas..but what he did is unethical Last edited: 22-Oct-09 06:08 PM
