NY police say store owner, son tried to cheat lottery winner out of $990G

New York – Police on Long Island have accused a deli owner and his son of trying to cheat a million-dollar lottery winner out of the vast majority of his rightful prize.

According to police, a 34-year-old man who did not speak English went to the Peninsula Deli and Grocery in Hempstead, N.Y. Thursday to claim his winnings.

When 26-year-old clerk Karim Jaghab scanned the card, he got a message reading “”File claim: jackpot winner – please return original ticket to the customer along with a claim receipt,” which meant that the man had won $1 million.

Instead of doing what the message instructed, however, Jaghab told the man that he’d only won $1,000, which he paid out in cash. More
