Tennessee gas station clerk arrested after it is revealed he stole a 1 million dollar winning lotto ticket from customer.
According to the Rutherford County Sheriff's Department, 23-year-old Meer Patel has been arrested after he mislead a customer about a life-changing lottery ticket.
Reports indicate the victim brought 2 tickets to the gas station and gave them to Patel to check. Video surveillance gathered after the fact shows Patel paying out a sum of money on the first ticket and throwing the 1 million dollar winner in the trash.
After the victim left the store, video shows Patel dig the ticket out of the trash and celebrate after confirming it was indeed a winner.
Patel then tried to claim the prize from the Tennessee Lottery. Lottery officials were instantly suspicious and launched an investigation which quickly uncovered Patel's deceit.
