The following was taken from the book: AMERICA'S DUMBEST CRIMINALS, all true stories.
Alice as I shall call her noted that she was only one digit away from winning $20 on her Oregon lottery ticket. This was too much for her and she had to be a winner. So, with the stroke of a pen she changed the number and presented for her $20 winnings. The clerk noted the change and called the police. She was arested and charged.
It should be noted however, that the number she actually had on her lottery ticket was a $5,000 winning number. By defacing the lottery ticket, she go nothing other than an arrest.
