In Cressona, Pennsylvania, Joan Lechleitner, 51, and her fiancé, Kerry Titus, 54, shared a $1 million Cash 5 jackpot with three other winners. That both Joan and Kerry worked at the store they bought the tickets from was not all that unusual. What was, however, was that the money they used for obtaining these tickets was stolen from that very store. According to the police, they had been grifting money from the Agway store starting in 2011 until they were caught in 2016, an amount estimated to be $175,000.

Surveillance cameras showed the couple stealing money from the till then turning around and buying lottery tickets with their ill-gotten gains. They were convicted for their efforts, getting 3 to 23 months of house arrest plus three years probation.
