Israel Police earlier in the week received a call from a lottery booth in southern Jerusalem after a youth tried to grab tickets from the vendor.

The youth filled out a number of Lotto tickets in the amount of NIS 3,000 and then gave them to the vendor who validated them, and then he grabbed them and fled without paying.

Police began searching the area and the youth was nabbed trying to cash the tickets at another booth, nearby. He was placed under arrested and arraigned.

The irony is that had he paid he would have won quite a bit more as one of his tickets was a winner. Now, he alone is the big loser.
