Man Breaks Into Store to 'Sweep' Lottery Tickets, Hopes for Jackpot End in Arrest

At a grocery store in Michigan, U.S., a man enters and heads straight for the lottery ticket display.

Without hesitation, he begins tearing off entire bundles of lottery tickets.

He even scoops up the tickets that fell to the floor, emptying the display in an instant.

It is reported that the perpetrator broke in by smashing the handle of the locked steel door.

Surveillance footage clearly captured the suspect tearing off scratch-off tickets in long strips, much like toilet paper, before fleeing the scene.

The store owner stated that the value of the stolen lottery tickets amounts to thousands of dollars.

The suspect had hoped to strike it rich by sweeping up the tickets.

However, Lady Luck was not on his side.

It is reported that the police launched an investigation and apprehended him shortly after.
