Woman stole over 1,500 lottery tickets, say Ky. police

(CBS) LOUISVILLE, Ky. - Police are searching for a woman who was allegedly caught on video stealing more than 1,500 lottery tickets from a Louisville convenience store, CBS affiliate WLKY reports.

She's probably out of luck.

A few hours after the woman allegedly stole a giant case filled with lottery tickets, she cashed in about 200 of them at a nearby grocery store and pocketed a couple hundred dollars, according to the station.

Sounds like a lot of work for a little pay off.

According to the station, the woman was able to cash in the tickets because they hadn't been "flagged" yet.

Authorities say they are searching for a black woman, 20-25 years of age, who was wearing glasses and driving what appeared to be a red Monte Carlo when the alleged theft was committed on April 16 at around 3:30 a.m.
