Clerk Steals Winning Ticket
Clerk Steals Winning Lottery Ticket and Was Busted Celebrating On Camera
In today’s Peep Show, a gas station clerk in Tennessee was arrested after stealing a man’s $1,000,000 winning lottery ticket. The clerk was scanning the man’s tickets, told him one was a loser and threw it in the garbage. Later, on CCTV, the clerk was spotted taking the ticket and then celebrating “his” million dollar win. You can read the whole story here NBC NEWS.
The show mentions how it isn’t very trusting of any situation where someone else is checking your lotto wins. Even when it comes to the app, they are suspicious, but have more faith in that than a person. For example, Chuck shares how he uses the lottery app for his tickets and believes that computer system is more reliable than a person who might do what this Tennessee clerk did.
If you’ve listened to the show long enough you have undoubtedly heard the ‘Tunak Tunak Tun’ song by Daler Mehndi played. If you didn’t know the actual name or artist behind that song we’ve used for many a segment, now you do. And it’s a jam so be sure to give it a listen.
Anyway, the crew imagines that when this Tennessee clerk was celebrating his stolen lottery win, he was dancing that song mentioned above and throwing a little party inside the store.
This is when Chuck performs the song himself, which Dave can’t help but be amazed by. He says something along the lines of, Chuck has heard this so much on the show, he knows the words! Then, they imagine a scenario where Chuck performs that song live at one of Dave’s family gatherings and provides the ‘Tunak Tunak Tun’ entertainment.
Always make sure you check your lottery tickets well, scratch off the entire barcode and self scan, where you can, to make sure you don’t fall victim to a similar scam. Justice was served and the original ticket owner did get his winnings.
